Hal's on Old Ivy

A tried-and-true Buckhead neighborhood mainstay, Hal's takes great pride in its traditional menu and loyal clientele. Upscale but laid-back, the restaurant serves impeccable steaks and seafood and is especially known for the quality of its flame-grilled filets. Though Hal's definitely attracts its share of high rollers, it has an easy-going atmosphere that lends itself to an after-work cocktail or leisurely dinner. Live music adds a festive touch of live jazz, blues, rock and roll, or big band, and many folks stop by for cocktails and end up staying for dinner and into the night. Terrific service is also a plus.
