Pretty Boy

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, and it turned out to be the perfect place to celebrate a special night with friends. We went with a large group, which gave us the chance to order a wide variety of dishes and share everything family-style — it was such a fun way to sample so much of the menu! The flavors were incredible, and I loved how the spice really challenged my palate in the best way. Every bite felt exciting and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere has super cool, vibrant vibes that make the whole experience even better, and the service was absolutely over the top — attentive, friendly, and made us feel celebrated. The food was amazing across the board, and the mocktails were just as impressive — creative, refreshing, and beautifully presented. Can’t wait to come back and try even more!

Absolutely one of my favorites! The Pho and Drunk noodles are a must. Each time we’ve gone everything is cooked perfectly and delicious. Cocktails are wonderful. Service is great!

Our first visit to Pretty Boy for a birthday dinner won’t be our last! The food was outstanding. Starting with the bok choy dish was a wise choice so we could dip everything in that delicious sauce throughout the meal. The pizza appetizer is a must get item. So unique and tasty. The short ribs were right on point and also came with a delicious sauce. The grilled ribeye was a hit at our table as well. We finished it off with a creative, tasty strawberry sorbet that was the perfect ending. The service was the best we’ve had in Athens in years. Finally, the gin fizz cocktail is a must try item too. Refreshing and light, it paired well with the meal. We can’t wait to try Pretty Boy again!

We arrived and we were able to be seated without a reservation, which was very nice. Once seated, we had to wait several minutes to be served probably around 8 to 10. We were offered a free appetizer which was very kind of them. I also ordered a beer and got a glass of wine, which they quickly remedied. As far as the food goes, somethings were good. Some things were OK. We ordered the cucumber appetizer, which was nice. Definitely something to split with 2 to 3 people. Definitely also has a kick. I would get this again. We got the pork skewer as well for an appetizer. It was enjoyable. I would also get this again. The sauce was nice. The pork was tender, and the nuts made a good addition. For the main course, we split the omelette and the drunken noodles. The omelette I would get again and it was my first time trying something like this. We got the shrimp and pork mix. The drunken noodle noodles was very celery salt forward. A little too saucy for my liking. A unique flavor profile that eventually became overwhelming. I wouldn’t get this again. We tried the pandan cake which we both enjoyed. All in all, I would give this place a solid, four out of five. The atmosphere is cool. I really like the music. The food is OK. The service was well trained and I really appreciated how everyone worked together. I would go again

Guy there right after open. One top, day at the bar. Had a happy hour cocktail special highball 10 bucks really good. Also had happy hour appetizer. fried Chicken skins. Delicious! Got the crunchy chicken salad which is pulled chicken with a crunchy cracker also delicious. Ended with a salt of the land drink which was fantastic. The bartender was knowledgeable. I watched her training a girl doing very well. Will go back again

One of the best new restaurants in town! Don’t leave without trying the chicken skins. There is nothing bad on the menu. We went on Lunar New Year and chef Kevin had curated some special dishes. He was adding some of his grandmothers homemade pickled bok choy to one of the dishes that was excellent. Thought and care put into every dish and every guest.

Sat at the chefs table and it was very nice. each bite was delicious and extremely diverse and complex. Very interesting. Slightly buzzed off the “Goose Chase cocktail” and the addition of the Pfeffersack was very nice. Mint oil on top was a good touch. Got many things- Beef carpaccio was the fav. sorry for the weird thumb bandaid i cut my self with a knife today. on accident.

Wonderful experience! If you enjoy trying unique, tasty, and beautiful food, then this is the place for you! My friend and I split the salmon crudo, mushroom rice paper pizza and the Viet crispy crepe. They asked if we had a reservation upon entering. We did not, but we were able to sit right down at the bar. The server at the bar was fantastic and helpful as we made choices. They accommodate food allergies, and mark things very well on the menu. Highly recommend for those with Celiac disease. So good! Will go back for sure!
