Waiter was great but wasn’t sure about some bar related items. No big deal at all. Food was great. A tad loud in the restaurant but that’s just how the room is designed Great experience overall.

Maddie was our server. She made suggestions for dinner and we followed her lead. The food was delicious and her service was amazing. It was very cold outside and the hostess sat us next to the fireplace which was awesome. We have eaten here multiple times and have never been disappointed.

We love going to the Garden Lights and having dinner at Longleaf as part of a wonderful experience. We brought two friends who were new to the Lights and they also really enjoyed Longleaf.

Longleaf restaurant in the Atlanta Botanical Garden did an exceptional job last Saturday evening. It was the next to last weekend for the Garden's popular Garden Lights holiday display, and the restaurant was operating at maximum capacity. In spite of the volume, the food was excellent, the service was prompt and friendly, and the overall experience was consistent with our experience of this restaurant over several years now. You would do well to try to include a visit to Longleafs when your next visit, the Atlanta botanical garden.

Enjoyable dinner. Have been here several times from large party to small intimate meal. Food and service are consistently impeccable. I appreciate the professionalism from all on the team and it is evident Longleaf is well managed. Special shout out to the hosts for seating us earlier than our reservation time. It was much appreciated. Thanks for another enjoyable experience.
