Steak and Grace, a brand new Atlanta steakhouse, is set to open its doors in Dunwoody Village on Friday, March 14.
Opening the meat-centric restaurant is Barry Mills, a longtime Atlanta restaurateur who is known for establishing local eateries like FLIP Burger Boutique, HD1 and Big B’s Fish Joint.
Mills’ aim with Steak and Grace is to “flip the script on the traditional steakhouse experience” by combining premium-grade food and service with “a more approachable atmosphere.”
“Our goal is for guests to experience elements of fine dining while still feeling relaxed,” Mills said. “Above all, Steak and Grace is a neighborhood gathering place. We want diners to feel welcome and confident that they can get a high-quality meal and a more diverse selection of dishes than what is generally found at a traditional steakhouse.”
In charge of the dishes at Steak and Grace is Executive Chef Conor O’Reilly, who previously worked for Fifth Group Restaurants.
According to a release, O’Reilly “favors composed plates over the a la carte approach to protein and side dishes presented at many steakhouses,” creating a menu that offers upscale food with diverse options, including gluten-free, keto and dairy-free dishes, among others.
Included on Steak and Grace’s menu are starters like cold water mussels, beef tartare and roasted squash soup, entrees such as braised beef short ribs, wagyu New York strip, Faroe Island salmon and dry-aged steak burger; along with desserts like a Meyer lemon tart or an éclair with pastry cream and dark chocolate ganache.
The restaurant also features a well-curated wine list with several by-the-glass options, along with classic cocktails and craft beers.
In addition to its one-of-a-kind menu, Steak and Grace utilizes a unique design scheme that emphasizes “a more social and casual atmosphere.”
Among the design features found in the 3,500-square-foot eatery include lighter hues, a large patio with an outdoor fireplace, as well as an abundant amount of windows to provide guests with plenty of natural lighting.
“We are excited to bring a restaurant with broad appeal to Dunwoody,” Mills said. “We invite guests to come for a quality meal and a warm, welcoming vibe but leave the coat and tie at home.”
Steak and Grace is located at 1317 Dunwoody Village Parkway, next to Marlow’s Tavern.
