Practical Booking Tips
• Call early. Popular Michelin-recommended spots often require weeks or months’ notice for private rooms or buyouts.
• Ask about set-menu or prix-fix options. Many restaurants prefer a preset menu for larger groups to ensure smooth service.
• Confirm AV, accessibility, and dietary needs in advance. Small details save time—and stress—on the night of the event.
• Consider staggered seating or cocktail receptions for very large groups to keep the meal flowing.

Q&A
Q: How far in advance should I book a private dining room at a Michelin restaurant in Atlanta?
A: For popular Michelin-listed venues, plan at least 4–8 weeks ahead. Larger buyouts and weekend dates can require 2–3 months’ notice.
Q: Do Michelin restaurants offer set menus for groups?
A: Many do. Set or prix-fix menus streamline service and help restaurants deliver a consistent experience for larger parties.
Q: Can restaurants accommodate dietary restrictions for large groups?
A: Yes—most Michelin-recommended restaurants can adapt menus for allergies or dietary needs if informed in advance.
Q: What’s the best group size for an intimate Michelin experience versus a full buyout?
A: Intimate private rooms typically serve 8–30 guests, while full buyouts vary widely (some venues seat 100+). Contact the restaurant early to confirm capacity.
Q: Should I tip differently for private events or buyouts?
A: Tipping expectations can vary. Discuss service and gratuity policies with the restaurant when booking; many include service charges for private events.
