The Hampton Social - Atlanta — Restaurant in Dunwoody

If you are a fan of costal eats, this would be a spot to try. This is a newer spot in Dunwoody around the high Street area. It has free parking shopping area and it has two floors so you can always find a spot.

So coming in the door you'll be greeted on the top floor and then they'll suit you. You can walk around to the bar if you so choose to, that's usually what I do. It is decorated in a lot of nautical themed decor, and is very well put together. The bars are decently sized bar and usually have a nice number of bartenders there.

On certain ice they have music and local artists who come and perform so you might be able to catch a show there as well. So just keep that in mind.

They're happy hour is really good. You can probably see that on the pictures that are attached to this review, but it's a really solid happy hour if you want to come in for some bites.

I've never sat at a table but I've predominally sat at the bar so my view can only lean toward that. But all of the bar staff has been solid. When you talk sin and they're warm and friendly and they're able to have a conversation with you if service and time allows them to. I've been enough to wear. I'm greeted as soon as I sit down. The staff makes the experience. When I say stap, I also want to include the management as well. The management that I've met has been stellar and very warm and inviting and has been a motivational factor in me coming back.

Outside of the staff and the food, the other part is the service. The service time can be an issue here in a rush. Especially on those busy days. It feels like it'll take forever unfortunately, which is the biggest drawback. But the staff does communicate with you so it's not like they're leaving you in the dark about waiting for your pizza LOL.

Sand and smoke - this is close to an old fashioned at this establishment. It's solid, but the sweet may throw you off just a little bit. I got mine doctored up a little bit and now I got it just right when I order.

Brussel sprouts - they were good and had a good flavor to them...really...they had a lot going on (in a good way though). Would get them again.

Hampton Caesar salad - The Caesar salad was okay, it was a Caesar salad. That's what you would expect LOL.

Pepperoni pizza - The pizza was good. I did unfortunately take a whole pizza down by myself LOL but they're not super big. But it is just the right amount. And on happy hour they're half off.

Calamari - Calamari was fried very well and had a good taste to it (even...

Disappointing Experience and Lack of Accountability**

I visited this restaurant on July 1st for a friend’s birthday dinner, and while the evening started out pleasantly, it ended with a disappointing experience that I feel compelled to share. I accidentally left a black and white Lululemon bag under our booth, it contained personal items including clothing and a phone charger. I realized it the same night and immediately called the restaurant multiple times, leaving a voicemail stating that I would return to pick it up. When I went back two days later, the manager I spoke with (Quentin) was abrupt, dismissive, and offered no real support. He informed me that their phones do not work so they did not get the voicemail. He insisted there was no bag, was unwilling to check further, and only handed me a general manager’s card when I pushed for help. I reached out to the general manager, who initially responded quickly and seemed willing to help. I provided detailed information, including the exact booth, time, what I was wearing, and who was in our party. However, after some delay, I was told that the cameras did not capture the area where we were seated, and no further assistance was offered.

I understand that items can be lost and that camera footage may have limitations, but what’s most frustrating is the lack of follow-through, professionalism, and empathy from the staff, particularly when dealing with a guest who made every effort to recover a lost item in good faith.

I won’t be returning, and I caution others to be mindful of their belongings and possibly of the service when dining here. It’s disappointing to feel so dismissed by an establishment where I chose to celebrate a special occasion and spend an obscene...

Bad from start to finish. I was super excited to go here as I’ve been to the Denver location, but this did not compare at all. The only positive I’ll say is that the decor is super cute and a good vibe, but even atmosphere wise the live music was way too loud to have a conversation. We arrived around 3pm (so not peak hours) to have a late lunch and the hostess asked if we had reservations, we said no. They asked if we wanted to sit at the bar (we already asked for a table) - we said sure if we had to but were there tables? Turns out yes, but despite that got put in the VERY back of the restaurant where bar staff were making drinks and doing dishes (I got splashed by something unknown at one point lol). I got a $15 glass of rose that was half a normal pour at best with something floating in it. My boyfriend’s Diet Coke came probably 20 minutes after ordering and it was flat. I ordered the lobster roll (which I had in Denver and is listed market price - believe it was in the $20-30 range that time) and the lobster was incredibly tough and sandwich was mostly bread. Almost keeled over when they brought the check and found out it was $40. My boyfriend ordered a side of mac n cheese and was given the full pasta entree so he also had the pleasure of paying for two meals. There is also an automatic 18% gratuity, which I can only imagine has been put in place so quickly after opening because people are probably so disappointed they leave bad tips. Not...
