A beautiful restaurant in the Atlanta Botanical garden! I had the 4 cheese flatbread and my husband had the beet salad, and both were excellent! We were seated promptly and our waiter was very attentive. We try to eat at the Longleaf whenever we come to the garden. Make sure to make a reservation, though. It can fill up fast, and somtimes it is closed for special events.

The pour was great for my Pino Noir and my wife's Chardonnay. I ordered the cheese burger without onions, it came with fries. It hit the spot. My wife ordered a salad, the presentation was great, but the key ingredients were few and left her searching for them. We were seated outside and with a good glass of wine we enjoyed lunch.

We’ve eaten at Longleaf many times in the past and the flatbread which we ordered today has always been much better. It seemed as if they were scrimping on the cheese (four-cheese flatbread). Also the chocolate cake dessert was very dry. Great service and prosecco.

The salads were under seasoned and we all had to ask for extra dressing. After spending $30 on a salad, they had the nerve to charge us more for a few extra pieces of bread to go with the dip we ordered (because it came with 5 pieces for a table of 4 people). So for “value” I’d rate this subpar…

Lightest fish and chips I've ever had. Perfect! Plus salt and vinegar fries. What's not to love. The double cheeseburger with grilled onions was a good as always. Missed the cocktail specials because of season change which was a small let down. But overall Longleaf is doing a great job compared to a few years ago and is a great stop while at the gardens.
