The Last Feast for ATL Foodies. A Perfect Send-Off at The Deer and The Dove

For our final ATL Foodies gathering of the year, we picked The Deer and The Dove, and what a beautiful choice it was to close out 2024 and welcome new culinary adventures in 2025!

First impressions matter, and this place nailed it. A warm welcome, a big smile, and we were escorted to our table. Arriving before everyone else, I had time to soak in the atmosphere. The decor is stunning, the ambiance smooth and inviting, and the staff interactions were flawless—a well-oiled machine of hospitality.

Once seated, the evening began with deep conversations. From summing up 2024 in one word to reflecting on life’s purpose and future goals, our group didn’t shy away from introspection, all while enjoying hearty laughs and delicious food.

Now, about the food: I cannot recommend the Duck Fat Potatoes enough—they melted in our mouths. For my main course, I had the Bramlett Farms Whole Trout, cooked to perfection. Around the table, other highlights included the Fossil Farms Pheasant—which I tried, and yes, it was incredible—and a burger that immediately went on my “must-try” list for next time.

Special shoutout to our server, Julia, who was the definition of on point. Her timing was impeccable—always there when we needed her but never intrusive. Her warm demeanor added an extra layer of charm to an already delightful experience.

In the end, The Deer and The Dove earned the title of a hidden gem of Atlanta. If you’re ever in the city, this place is a must-visit. Don’t skip the desserts—trust me, they’re worth it!

With a warm goodbye to 2024, here’s to new adventures and flavors in the coming year.

Cheers!

The Deer and The Dove is one of those word-of-mouth restaurants in Decatur. I found it as a substitute for Iberian Pig nearby. OMGness!!!! This is an absolute gem of a restaurant, food, service, vibe, and facility. I usually grab their burger and roasted potatoes if I’m in a hurry, but if I’m with clients or friends, I sample the octopus, venison, market fish, or ribeye. The roasted potatoes are the best I have had, roasted, salted in their own skillet 🙌🏾🙌🏾. Honestly, the chef is well-deserved to be recognized by @michelinguide as a must-try. Also, their bar is  highbrow, seriously upscale bourbon, cognac, French wine, champagne, and mix drinks 🍹. I would recommend a visit over  IP and Leon’s. It’s really good but expect a bill between $100-200 for 2! Ask for Brittany 🌹🌺💐

Went for a happy hour martini and also got a cheese plate. Only reason I didn’t give a 5 on food is they serve this gorgeous plate but only 3 pieces of bread. Would have enjoyed some more bread or crackers.
However, the drinks were very good! If you’ve never checked this place out, I’d recommend you do!

Edit: guess the martinis were a little too good lol!
I’ll stop by in a bit - apologies. Mix up between me and my wife!

Great food, great atmosphere. I will say this is a place where you’ll want to bring an appetite because these are not dainty portions. I had the D + D burger and it pushed me one bite short of the edge of feeling too full. Exquisitely made, but oh so filling. Also, in terms of cocktails I recommend the Italian Sour or the Old Fashioned.

Came here for our anniversary and we had a more than pleasant experience here - more than enough to warrant a review and definitely already looking forward to our return visit.

Ambiance: less fancy restaurant and more cafe or home office vibes, but still walking in understanding that you are there to eat. Seats and tables fit in with the vibe and are well maintained. Bathrooms clean. No complaints.

Food: choice based on many previously reviewed items, each delicious although overall balance could have erred more on light rather than all out richness, kind of in your face vibe. Next time will likely consider what to order now knowing this info. Overall 8.5/10, with the feedback of either new additions to the menu to be balanced within the dish or having the staff inform the diner of what they’re about to experience. By dish:

Cocktail: harvest cup of rice spirits, peach, ginger, basil, soda, among other things. Refreshing but still strong, 9/10 if only for reasons of personal preference.

Yeast rolls: pleasantly crunchy on the outside without cutting the roof of our mouths, yet fluffy on the inside. Garlic and herb butter is a good pairing, although as stated very in your face about the fact that it’s a garlic and herb (like people who do CrossFit). Sea salt balances out, although it was a pinch too much and we did find ourselves having to scrape about half to 3/4 of the salt off by the second roll (comes as 4). Still tasty - 8/10.

Coffee crusted venison - piece of venison crusted with their coffee blend and seared rare. Meat is not gamey until you get to the rarer inner part of the meat, good for sharing between two people who have opposite preferences from game meat. Purées and carrot chips offer great dichotomy of flavor and texture when combined with other elements on the plate. The jus volume could be dialed back a bit on the butter front, but still a great addition to the dish overall. 9/10.

The escargot and marrow is an interesting pairing - this comes with capers, focaccia bread, and another generous helping of the garlic and herb butter. The escargot was good, not overcooked while remaining sweet and savory (4 pc on top of the bread). While marrow is always delicious, all the elements combined make for a very heavy,  borderline knockout dish just in terms of flavor. By the end of the dish I was almost happy that it was only about 2-3 bites per person because it was too much of a good thing, and the capers were logistically difficult to get in with a bite of everything. They also weren’t enough to counterbalance the triple threat combo of butter, marrow, and sauce provided which just immediately put the consumer into a food coma. Definitely would have preferred the acidic counterbalance in a different vehicle. 7/10.

Whole trout: the star of the meal and the most balanced in terms of flavor and texture. Fish is perfectly cooked with ski side down for a nice crispy upper layer. Most of the bones are removed for ease of consumption, and the flesh side is juice both from the meat as well as the vegetable broth it sits in. Flavor is nice and light, with sweetness from the trout counterbalanced by the mild acidity of the remaining elements. Texture is equally wonderful with the crunchy skin balanced against the tender, almost fluffy fish meat. After finishing and licking the plate clean, I fully understand the recommendations of this as a must-order dish. Worth every penny, 10/10.

Dessert - GA peach sundae. The baked peach sits next to a toasted oat ice cream - loved the sweet and sour notes side by side with the hot and cold concept, although the ice cream did melt a lot faster than expected and became soup halfway through. The result is that you are forced to choose between the warm peach or a melted ice cream soup, which presents yet another logistical challenge. Still good as soup, though, so I guess it’s part of the design. 8.5/10 unless you’re averse to sweet or potentially sour peaches.

Bonus service - got a complement for our anniversary visit. 10/10.
