We ate outside. It was lovely. Inside it is so loud that I am surprised OSHA has not made a visit. I am concerned for the staff. There is no cloth in the entire restaurant (with the exception of napkins). Sound bounces on all hard surfaces and it is so loud you can't hear the person next to you. The sound level is not "energetic," it is horrible.

We've been here in the past and today we were very disappointed. First we were sat at what appeared to be the "time out" tabke where no one paid any attention to us for 20 minutes. Our server was very apologetic. I ordered an ice tea. When ordering the food, I found out my first choice was not available so I ordered something else. Ten minutes later I was told they ran out of unsweet ice tea and offered me sweet tea which I don't drink so I stuck with water. Then, I was told that my second food choice was not available. Given they don't have an extensive menu, I was not interested in much else so I ordered a Flatbread that was o.k. My husband's fish was very good. He didn't finish it so we packed it. I went out first because it was freezing cold inside. He forgot the box and when he swung back for it, they had already tossed it. That they did do pretty fast. Overall, an underwhelming experience . We love the botanical garden and until today had had good experiences at the restaurant

Reservations made online are recommended for a meal time. The restaurant is not typical for the facility it is located at. It is more of a gourmet food establishment than I expected.

Let me start saying our server was amazing, super polite and knowledgeable! The host stand was rude and did not communicated with each other. The person that delivered our food seemed that was on something. Very weird questions and comments. The one vegan entree was extremely spicy to the point of not eatable! Do not order the Cauliflower!!!

I celebrated my daughter's 30th birthday at Longleaf. We enjoyed every aspect of the experience from the moment we walked in the door. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the ambiance was great. In my daughter's words, the experience was a 10/10. I'd certainly recommend the restaurant to family and friends.

We had a great time celebrating our 22nd Anniversary. The food was delicious and started out night off beautifully before enjoying the rest of the park. The highlight was our server Aiden ( I think this was his name, a young dark haired fellow). He was witty, charming and knew just what to advise off the menu. He was a spectacular treat to add to the evening. I only wished there was some additional sparkle to acknowledge our anniversary outside of the staff verbally stating "Happy Anniversary". Otherwise, we really enjoyed our evening.

A great spot and great food. There was a band playing terrible music somewhere in the park that was annoying--nothing the restaurant could do anything about--otherwise a wonderful dining experience.

First time dining here. Service was terrible. Not our servers fault. Waited for almost an hour to be seated and served our dinner. Drinks were not as ordered. When food arrived it was delicious! It was a disappointing birthday celebration for our out of town guests.

Took some out of town guests to Atlanta Botanical Gardens, which were lovely, I made a reservation for Longleaf thought it would be convenient for lunch. To my surprise, it was elegant and the service was superb. Shout out to Kathleen, she was fabulous, and the glass enclosed facility allowed us to continue to enjoy the gardens. Highly recommend.

I organized a "ladies lunch" at Longleaf with three close friends. We hadn't gone out together like this since Covid isolated everyone, and Longleaf was the perfect spot to start a new tradition. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant ... a menu with something for everyone, a comfortable and beautiful dining room, excellent attentive service, and really delicious food. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Longleaf to friends for either lunch or dinner. It was a genuine treat.

Service was phenomenal they were very attentive to our needs and our server was so kind and nice enough to answer the many questions we had about the menu. For a 2 person dinner with 1 appetizer each, 1 main course each and a shared desert it was a little over one hundred dollars. Food was exquisite the portion was big but not overwhelming, food arrived hot and fast this place is great for date nights.

It was nice to have dinner in the park. The service is outstanding! The food was very good, but sorry that the flatbreads could not have the bacon left off. The garden is beautiful, but we were eaten up by mosquitoes. I know we were outside and a little of that us to be expected, but this was uncomfortable. Next time, we will sit inside or wear lots of bug spray. Would definitely go back though. Get the mushroom toast!! And the sparkling water flavors on offer are very refreshing.

Our server was fantastic and very nice. The adobo wings were very good. The spicy chicken sandwich was bad the chicken was flavorless and the fries were soggy. The steak frites was bad as well. The steak was way to crispy on the outside. They also brought my boyfriends food and then 20 minutes later brought mine. It was $42 for the steak frites and it was not worth that at all. We also got a slice of cheesecake and it was okay but a very small portion. Our bill was $107 and I was very disappointed that we paid that much for our food to taste like it did. This was our anniversary dinner and it was sadly a disappointing one for our five years.
