Bon Appetit MagazineJune 3, 2016Order some oysters and perhaps dip into the elaborate absinthe service and be transported. Raw bar happy hour (weekdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.) is the time to be here—and not just to guarantee a stool. Read more
PerceptusOctober 26, 2016This is my fave venue for oysters & craft cocktails in Atlanta. Great decor, very knowlegable staff. For something special that's not on the menu, ask for the Trinidad Sour based on Angostura bitters!
Tasting TableApril 21, 2016This gorgeous wood bar is a proper setting for knock-back oysters and cocktails. The infamous Kimball House cocktail is made with gin, Cocchi Americano, dry vermouth and house orange bitters. Read more
Creative Loafing AtlantaOctober 6, 2014There is no place else in Atlanta where you can find such an extensive & traditionally prepared absinthe menu and bartenders so well versed in everything drink. Read more
Kevin BuckleyOctober 13, 2013Fantastic! Superb! Look up at the fans! They work on pulleys! Mexican razor and old fashion were top notch. Even though it was packed the staff still took the time to talk to us out of towners.
Pacific Seabass, sweetbread, & pork belly are fantastic. Unique flavors & fresh ingredients. For side, grab the roasted mushrooms. Talk to head bartender Miles for cocktail ideas. He knows his stuff!- Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014Macquarrie's cocktails such as the signature Kimball House — a lightly sweet, floral take on a gin martini served with a help-yourself cup of olives and lemon peel — make the journey all the better.

- EaterJanuary 3, 2014Kimball House is housed in the old Decatur train depot. The great space coupled with the thoughtful dinner and drink menus make the new restaurant a worthy spot for your next night out.
- Amanda ParkerMay 10, 2015Awesome dining experience. Everything from the cocktails on the patio to the decor to the dessert is well done. Have the pork loin if it's on the menu. Juicy and flavorful.
HalboMarch 16, 2014Outstanding. An oyster selection like no other. Champagne mignonette was outstanding for the oysters. Fabulous election of artisan cocktails. Loved it. Coming back for dinner.- Creative Loafing AtlantaMay 1, 2015No one in Atlanta serves oysters like these. On any given day, the menu will list 20 or so varieties, impeccably sourced from waters near and far. Hit up oyster happy hour for a bargain. Read more
Spoon UniversityJuly 26, 2016By torching the crème brûlée lowly from afar, chef Maitre d’ William Bubier warms the dessert in order to bring out the vanilla flavor and give it a homey touch. Read more
- Creative Loafing AtlantaMay 1, 2015Like the bronze afternoon sun it resembles in its round ceramic dish, the crème brûlée at Kimball House is all about warmth. And vanilla. No chilly custard at Kimball House. Read more
Lynn Marie FrancoSeptember 23, 2014If you're here for a special occasion, order the Mai Tai. It's not on the menu, but you can ask for it (and it comes with fire!) Cocktails are great--but beware: they're super strong! :)
Cool, laid back vibe with great bar scene and incredible service. Inventive dishes that change nightly. Raw bar happy hour weekdays 5-7pm. Cocktails worthy of their James Beard nomination.
- Tasting TableAugust 5, 2014The Kimball House cocktail (gin, Cocchi Americano, dry vermouth and house orange bitters) is for a nice accompaniment to the restaurant's list of more than a dozen different oysters on the half shell. Read more
Cassandra YoungSeptember 26, 2014I'm from New Orleans and these are literally the best oysters I've eaten in my entire life. Highly recommend you order an array and enjoy each one. They are SO unique.- Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014In the somewhat-Spanish camp, mussels escabèche, lightly pickled and served cold, paired perfectly with smoky bacon piled onto grilled toast. Read more
Elia AlbarranFebruary 10, 2016Get a steak to share and a few of the family style sides. Everything is delicious and the service is impeccable. Drinks on point.
This is my favorite restaurant in Atlanta - love the atmosphere, oysters, staff and inventive cocktails!
Ross BaltimoreJanuary 16, 2017Get the trout, it's amazing. It's also probably big enough to split if you get a couple sides.
Mariauxy Castillo-VitaleMarch 31, 2014This place has a great modern retro feel and the signature cocktails are a must. Try the High Tide.
David Orland BrownOctober 18, 2013Amazing Sazerać. Genius bartenders (mixologist) - come to this new establishment.
Alex RavenelJuly 10, 2016Excellent cocktails and oysters. Try the self-named cocktail if you like martinis.
Kristi ChampionAugust 6, 2014Some of the best beef tartare I have ever eaten. Incredible. Kusshi oysters are also killer.- Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014If you're in the mood to embrace your inner F. Scott Fitzgerald, order up a glass of Marc Hebrart Champagne and some Ossetra caviar. Read more
Gouthami RaoOctober 12, 2013Great food, but definitely gourmet style portions. Lobster fettuccine was the best thing on the menu!
DaimerSeptember 28, 2013Friendly staff... awesome food... amazing cocktails. .. a must if you visit Decatur
Robin TriplettJanuary 6, 2014Oysters - Get them and educated! Oh and drink the cocktails... any and all of them!
- Try the oysters - the selection is great and they are excellent.
The Cheddarwurst and Sunchokes are AMAZING! And it's oyster heaven!

"A purveyor of $4 sandwiches, Jack and Coke slushies, and fine cocktails, sure, but it's also fast become a neighborhood spot. Don't miss the ping pong table or the stellar bar around back."
Eater - 8.4
"They brew their own beer which changes weekly. They have a kind, courteous staff. Awesome chicken wings!"
Sulli - 9.0
"Quite possibly one of the best meals I've ever had. Service was perfect. Amazing dishes include charcuterie and cheese recommendations, octopus, braised pork cheek, meatballs. Fried eggplant was meh."
