When it comes to the Atlanta restaurant scene, I’ve been blessed to try some of the best places this city has to offer. But after my meal at BLT Steak last week it’s going to be hard for any other joint in town to come this close to knocking my socks off.

BLT Steak is an award-winning steakhouse located in the W Downtown. Adjacent to the swanky lobby, flanked beside the PriceWaterhouse Coopers building and across the street from Atlanta’s convention hub, it’s a flagship institution of the much-needed revamp of Downtown Atlanta.

Pretty Southern was invited to a preview of the new BLT Steak Boucherie series, with new menus coming each month during the summer (the next sampling is in August!) BLT Steak will be offering a three-course tasting menu for $80 with additional wine pairings for only $35 per person. Gentlemen – if you want to wow your date this weekend – this is the place to make an impression!

BLT ranks up there not just as one of the top 10 steakhouses in Atlanta, but as one of the premier fine dining establishments in downtown Atlanta.

Here are a few pictures from our tasting at BLT Steak.

Of course, what really knocked our socks off at BLT Steak in Atlanta was the fabulous, savory maple bacon donut.
