Stoney River - Atlanta, Georgia

For my birthday we were in the mood for a good steak, so we chose to go to Stoney River. The average check is around $50 per person. Stoney River's food has been described as "comfort food dressed up in a sports jacket." It is white table cloth dining at its best. The service is exceptional. They are fully attentive and you don't have to ask for a thing, they have already brought it by the time you think to ask! But the service isn't too much, meaning it is stuffy!
When you sit down, you get a basked of their signature warm Stone Puppies and honey butter.
I usually get the Lodge Filet that is seasoned with Stoney River seasoning and garlic mashed potatoes. But my other favorite is to get the Filet Oscar or the Prime Rib! You just can't go wrong! Their steaks are premium, grain-fed Midwestern beef, that is aged in their own lockers and trimmed by hand.
As I said, it was mine and my brother's birthday (we're twins) and my dad's birthday was the day before....so our server surprised us with a piece of cake each! And it was amazing! It was this 7 layer vanilla cake and it alternated from chocolate to a toffee caramel filling in between each layer! Oh...it was good!
