Dorian Gray

The Buckhead building on the corner of West Paces and East Andrews has seen its share of popular restaurant concepts (Yebo—relocated, and Coast—which fell with the H2SR empire). Keeping the beachy-feeling outdoor patio and the same divided dining room and bar as the others before it, current occupant Dorian Gray is bringing buzz back to the venue with DJ’s playing house music, vintage Buckhead–meets-St. Tropez vibes, and well-garnished cocktails. Now, adorned with Victorian artworks and stark white tablecloths, Dorian Gray offers a coastal European menu, in which everything can be upgraded with $50 shaved truffle. And all their menu items—from veal bolognese to wagyu carpaccio—are enjoyable, but the well-seasoned ribeye (grilled then finished in a cast iron skillet) is the best reason to make this your new date night go-to.
