Great food!

Rathbun's has awesome food! The only drawback here is that it's in a warehouse and the ceilings are so high, the noise level is terrible. It's hard to have a conversation without yelling.

YUM!!

We had a great birthday dinner for my boyfriend's mom a few weeks ago. The service was great, even when she returned her entree due to salt overload! The food (minus the salty brussel sprouts) was delicious.

Delicious

Although it costs a fortune, this is a meal that is an event. The atmosphere has to be seen, and the meal was superb.

The food here is wonderful as is the atmosphere. We may have just had a bad one off experience, but the service was not very good. A little rude and snobby. Had we not had a bad service experience this would...

Best Redfish in Atlanta

We dined at Rathbun's last weekend - the food and service were fabulous. Recommend the Wine Room for more intimate dining. Four dined for $200, including bottle of wine.
