Best food and service in the city – We eat at this restaurant for every special occasion in our lives...birthdays, anniversaries, to impress out-of-town guests, even the first dinner with the future in-laws. Marla not only prepares delicious food ( the halibut, mussels, lamb chops and chicken dishes are family favorites), but also makes us feel special from the moment we walk in. Whether it's business or pleasure, the is the place.

A Hidden Gem – After having finished dinner at Babette's Cafe last night, I felt strongly inclined to leave a flattering review for this modest rustic restaurant which leaves its competitors' haughty "haut cuisine" retreating abashedly in shame. The theme for Atlanta cuisine recently has been to place the most emphasis on the decor and ambiance, luring customers in to dine on impalpable food. I've seen my fair share of these restaurants in busy touristy districts, packed to the brim with customers eager to be seen rather tha... read more

Yummy! Great food, cozy restaurant! – Babette?s had some truly great tasting food. It?s pricey, but if you?re looking for some *great* food, you?ll find it here. I had the scallops which were cooked to perfection, and my boyfriend got the steak which was the most savory, well cooked steak I?ve tasted in a while. We got two appetizers, I can?t quite remember which they were, but I remember being quite impressed! This is a tiny, cozy restaurant, but some may find it a little too crowded and cozy for their taste. Our service wa... read more

Great DATE spot, delicious food! – I've been dying to try out Babette's for the longest time and finally went this past weekend. First off, I adored the place as soon as I walked in. I loved that it is a house, it's so cozy, rustic, and intimate. Perfect for a romantic date. My date and I started off with the smoked trout and salmon "really small plate" and the artichoke and lemon ravioli. Both were delicious, but they aren't kidding when they say "really small plate." It's literally about 2 bites. The ravioli was great; the... read more

Excellent food and good ambiance – I've visited Babette's twice now (once on a Tuesday night, once on Thursday night), and was very pleased both times. The setting is cozy- the main dining room gave me the feeling that I was actually a guest in a friend's house, and that I'd be treated as such. While a meal can run pricey if you opt for wine (they have a decent wine list, and the servers are knowledgeable and helpful with selections if necessary), you will not be disappointed by whatever you order. The last time we went, we ... read more

Simple elegance, amazing food, and the best service! – I have been to Babette's 3 times over the last 3 months. Each and every time the service is impeccable! You know the kind of service where your server always knows what you need before you do. The food is out of this world!! The flavors are authentic and not over spiced or accented. Not to mention the prices are much less than other restaurants who don't come close to the quality of food. The room speaks for itself. Small, charming, and very warm. This restaurant is a mu... read more

Great Brunch, Great Service – I have eaten brunch and dinner at Babettes about 10-15 times over the past 4 years. Their brunch is hands down one of my favorite in town-- the fillet eggs benedict on brioche is out of this world. For dinner, I am often most impressed by their small plates and will sometimes order a salad and 2 small plates as my meal. Their mussels with strawberry and serrano pepper are some of my favorite in town (see other posts, I love mussels and order them everywhere). The oyster biscuit with dill is deli... read more

Sleepy romantic charm meets a dependable cafe menu at this Poncey-Highland favorite. – The Scene Charmingly unassuming and sweetly romantic, Babette's occupies a restored bungalow halfway between the Highlands and Little Five Points. The small bar fills quickly, but the large dining room is comfortable and there's a raised patio in back. Soft lighting, rough-planked wood floors, antique pieces and homey touches (baguettes come in a brightly painted metal pails) carry the day. Service is warm and friendly. The Food Indistinct... read more

Rustic Charm, Excellent Experience! – I have always hesitated to try Babette's Cafe. The previous menus didn't generate much excitement for me, however, when I saw the revamped current offerings, I made a reservation "tout de suite"! On a busy Saturday we arrived at 8pm for our reservation and were promptly seated. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided exceptional service from start to finish! We sampled several small plates.....duck confit hash, bacon and onion tart, and the artichoke and olive ravioli....al... read more
