You got to be kidding me. Is there a Steakhouse in America better than bones in Atlanta? I think not. They are the standard that everyone else tries to Achieve in every way! From the moment you walk in the front door, you know you are in the right place, and that you are in for a meal of a lifetime. The Avions is old-school steakhouse with a heavy twist on old school. The food, appetizers, salads, entrées, and desserts over the Top! The attention to detail in the service is incredible. Can’t wait for my next meal at Bones. desserts, everything over the top outstanding

The initial arrival was great! The hostess was great. Happy personality and happy to help. The service was rather mediocre. Had to ask for drinks a couple of times and there were long wait times to get an order or condiment fulfilled. Food was good. Other wait staff stepped in to help.
