Visited on Friday evening. Made reservations but arrived 30mins early and they were still able to sit us immediately. Our server(s) were amazing. I say servers because anyone on the staff that passed by our table refilled our water glasses and asked if we needed anything (Top Tier). We had the Tokyo Grilled Oysters and the raw oysters. We picked several different oysters available from their list. All were pretty tasty. For our entrée we had the ribeye and the duck. Both were cooked to perfection. The steak was tender and well seasoned and so was the duck. Nothing disappointed. We had an amazing experience. The food was good but the Staff was amazing! Kudos to the team at the Kimball House.

Dined here Sunday, 12/21 to celebrate my birthday. Having eaten here several times over the years, Kimball House far and away remains my favorite restaurant in the Atlanta area. It is a rare occurrence that a dish illicit an emotional reaction from me, but every aspect of our experience brought the heat. Under the delightful care of Alex, we spent nearly two hours dining like a king and queen. From the chef’s choice oyster platter (for which our preferences were carefully considered) to both the tuna and beef tartares, the duck breast and bouillabaisse, and finally capping off with the banana bread sundae and honey rum tart, each dish and drink was more spectacular than the last. The staff at Kimball House clearly take pride in their craft and place so much care into dishes, wine and curated cocktails, and overall diner experience. It is always a real treat when I get the opportunity to come here.

I’ve always wanted to go here and finally made it! The food was amazing and the service was even better. We ate at the bar and can’t say enough good things about our bartender. Absolutely worth the visit!

Have been here many times over the years living in Atlanta and it still lives up to the hype. From amazing inventive cocktails to Hawaiian rolls to oysters to the duck, you can’t go wrong. We had a private event here for our engagement with our families a few months ago— which was also awesome. They have a private event room with a private bartender. The staff is amazing at making recommendations and providing personalized service. Thank you Kimball House!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was incredibly flavorful — every dish was thoughtfully prepared and packed with rich, delicious tastes. You can tell the kitchen puts real care into every plate. The staff was equally impressive: warm, attentive, and truly committed to making sure every detail was perfect. Their attention to detail made the entire dining experience feel special. Highly recommend!

This is one of my favorite oyster restaurants in GA. Very fresh and beautifully shucked oysters are must try dish there. Their rolls are amazing too. Loved the beet salad. Mussels were very delightfully cooked. Soft and creamy and so flavorful. My husband got Trout and he loved it so much. One of the best trout he had. Reservation is required. Service is top notch nothing but amazing experience here every time I come. Drinks are perfect too. It was my birthday. I guess I am getting old to read the menu with a little light. I had to use my phone light to read the menu. But I think it was just that area. Nothing to complain about.
