• Continental • Buckhead

There was a time when dinner out meant pin curls and strong Manhattans. The music was up and the lights were low and the maître d’ had your table waiting. The Betty is that kind of place. Inspired by mid-century American supper clubs, The Betty pays tribute to the continental menus of yesteryear. But while the dishes may sound comfortingly familiar, Chef Thomas’s approach is decidedly 21st century. Pair your entrée with a timeless cocktail, a selection from our robust wine list or an Atlanta-crafted beer.

We went for The Feast of Seven Fishes (only counted 6). Started with cocktails, but the 1st course came ahead of them, so we waited. Both (different) cocktails were mostly nugget ice and heavily citrused. Won’t order cocktails again. Small plates were decent, but confidently small. The lobster tortellini plate made up for the total meal and was generous. Basque cheesecake is an interesting less-sweet option but I wouldn’t opt for it.

The ambiance is fantastic—a truly romantic and private setting for special occasions. We visited to celebrate my wife's birthday, and the service was exceptional. The crème brûlée is a must-try if you go. The only downside was that some meals were out of the menu, and I wanted to try the lamb. Overall, it’s a great place to visit.

Our group enjoyed dinner on a Tuesday evening - we have a diverse group of tastes and Le Colonial provided something for everyone! The starters are the perfect size to share and we decided to order an assortment of large plates. Everything from the menu is tasty and fantastic! Drinks and service were ready and well paced. Thank you for a fun night!
