Georgia Boy is a Michelin Guide-recommended, multi-course, multi-sensory chef's table experience created by James Beard nominated Chef Joey Ward. Located inside a private dining room that is accessed through Southern Belle, the Georgia Boy tasting menu experience explores Ward's creative mind, introducing the cuisine of the South through his inventive, colorful lens.
The experience is intentionally dynamic, interactive, and intimate where guests are seated together in the Georgia Boy kitchen in full sight of the chefs as they create the dishes right before their eyes.
_Reservations__are released 28 days in advance at noon._

#### Dress code + Fragrance Policy
We do not have a dress code — we want you to be comfortable. Our staff wears jeans, and most of our guests tend to end up somewhere in the realm of business casual.
Georgia Boy is a multi-sensory experience in a communal setting. Because perfume and cologne can be disruptive to the experience of others, we ask that you refrain from wearing fragrances while dining. Excessive perfume or cologne may result in denied service and a cancellation fee.
Similarly, since this is a shared dining experience, we ask that guests remain present throughout and refrain from taking smoke breaks during the meal.
#### Food allergies / dietary restrictions
While making your reservation, you will have the option to note any food allergies or dietary restrictions within your party.
We can accommodate most common allergies and dietary restrictions. Vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian menus are available, and we are able to prepare meals without beef, pork, game, seafood, shellfish, offal, dairy, peanuts, and alcohol.
We can usually accommodate gluten-free guests and those with tree nut allergies, but please contact us to confirm in advance.
If you do not see a specific restriction or have multiple dietary needs, please contact us at info@georgiaboyatl.com, so that we may confirm that we will be able to prepare your meal safely.
#### Are you kid-friendly?
Due to the nature of Georgia Boy, including unique foods and flavors, as well as the blind tasting menu, we recommend making your time at Georgia Boy into a lovely date night!
Additionally, in consideration of other guests of the communal dining experience and the limited space in the restaurant, we cannot accommodate infants or toddlers in Georgia Boy. This includes baby carriers, strollers, high chairs and booster seats.
#### Accessibility Accommodations

We hold 131 venues in Atlanta, GA and could score 20 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: we haven’t been able to look at this venue’s sourcing yet, so there is nothing to break down. A row of zeroes here would say we checked and found nothing, and we have not checked.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 — NOT YET ANALYZED. We have not been able to look: no findable site or menu, or the site blocks crawlers. This is the absence of a measurement, NOT a finding of 'no sourcing', and must never be presented as one. Score is a floor and carries no information about this venue's quality.
