By George

By George is the restaurant in the historic Candler Hotel in downtown Atlanta. Its contemporary American menu and hotel dining room offer a different format from a counter-service café. Match your reservation to the breakfast, lunch or dinner service you intend to use rather than assuming every menu is available all day.

On The Menu
Ricotta pancakes, shrimp with grits and Benedict
Good For
A Downtown Hotel Dining Room
Plan Ahead
Reservations recommended. The official site has conflicting brunch start times; call before booking an early table.

The menu states a 20% gratuity for groups of six or more.

Plan The Rest Of The Visit

Match the booking to the venue and meal. By George has distinct hotel dining services, French Toast ATL publishes a service charge, and Whiskey Bird has a specific weekend brunch window. A restaurant’s general opening hours are not proof that brunch is served all day.
