101 Steak

"This Vinings steakhouse is modern enough to be unpretentious but traditional touches are great reminders that it’s still an upscale experience. Look for a luggage-and-leather living room-style lounge area on one side of the wraparound bar, a wall of wines — 100 of which are available by the glass — on another, and dramatic oversized booths lining the shuttered windows. Choose from four sizes of filet mignon, Prime, and dry-aged cuts (including multiple bone-in options) flavored with their house blend of seasonings.  Reservations highly encouraged." - Su-Jit Lin

"Don’t let its shopping center placement (or the adjacent gas station) throw you off. Steak 101 is an upscale steakhouse—and one of the best big night out dinners in the Vinings neighborhood. Every Friday and Saturday, a musician serenades the dim bar area and its cast of regulars trying their best to shout over Jewel covers. Couples cuddle in big half-circle booths that provide just enough privacy to avoid being spotted by your talkative neighbor. The venue meets all fancy steakhouse expectations—a long list of quality cuts, add-on steak butters, great seafood, and family-style sides. But what separates this from Atlanta’s others is a more relaxed, small town vibe (and the free fresh-baked popovers). " - nina reeder, juli horsford

"101 Steak in Vinings is upscale yet unpretentious. Choose among classic cuts of steak like filet mignon, New York strip, and steak Delmonico and pair it with the ultra-creamy pimento macaroni and cheese with smoked bacon." - Lia Picard

"For a fancy dinner out, nothing quite fits the bill like a great steakhouse. From caviar and lobster to the juiciest filet mignon and porterhouse, 101 Steak ticks all the boxes. The wine list here is classic and offers plenty of bottle options. Begin the meal with wagyu beef carpaccio and a sparkling rose. Order a bold red to decant at least 20 minutes before your entree arrives at the table. Reservations highly encouraged." - Henna Bakshi
