When a restaurant announces itself with a massive two-story layout, a sprawling outdoor patio, and a neon “Rosé All Day” sign visible from Perimeter Center, you know it is aiming high. The Hampton Social at High Street in Dunwoody, newly opened in 2025, does not just aim, it delivers. Imagine a summer day bottled into a dining experience. Nautical accents, beachy décor.
The concept is modeled after the Hamptons, the famously chic coastal escape in New York. By bringing that breezy, nautical style south, The Hampton Social captures the feeling of a seaside getaway without leaving Atlanta.
A Dining Pavilion That Feels Like a Shoreline Sanctuary
Step inside and you are greeted with more than 10,000 square feet of space that breathes. There are three levels of dining, two indoors and one outdoors, anchored by a dramatic 360 degree bar. Hanging greenery, rope accents, and ocean toned details give the restaurant a luxury beach club feel that also manages to stay welcoming. It is coastal escapism grounded in the heart of Dunwoody.
Salads, Seafood, and Uplifting Flavors
The menu begins with bright, fresh plates that set the tone. The Golden Beet Salad is a standout with sweet beets, citrus segments, creamy goat cheese, and pistachios. It feels both refreshing and comforting, a perfect opening act.
The lobster roll arrives in two versions, warm buttered Manhattan style or chilled Maine style with mayo, and comes with house made chips. Either choice gives you the indulgence you crave, briny and rich without being overdone.
Another highlight is the oven roasted octopus. It is tender yet slightly charred, paired with roasted potatoes and tonnato cream. The portion is generous, and the preparation shows care for both texture and flavor.
Then there is the Crab and Avocado Stack with taro chips. Sweet crab meat, creamy avocado, mango salsa, and a touch of jalapeño are layered into a tower that looks as good as it tastes. The taro chips add the crunch that ties it all together.
Cocktails, Rosé, and the Rise of “Drink Pink”
The drinks program captures the same breezy energy. The Pink Reverie, made with vodka, guava, Aperol, citrus, and coconut water, tastes like a summer sunset in a glass. See it pictured above It is balanced between sweet and bitter, with cocktail “air” that gives it an extra layer of fun.
Another feature is the rotating Rosé of the Day, sourced from vineyards across the country. Each visit could introduce you to a new favorite, served by the glass, carafe, or bottle. They also have some delicious NA (booze free cocktails) that are terrific, like the Hampton Breeze, not overly sugary, but just perfectly blended.
Patio Season Done Right
The outdoor patio is where the Hampton Social really shines. Lit with warm string lights, and furnished for comfort, it is a setting that begs you to linger. Fall is the perfect time to settle into this space, where the crisp air meets the cozy glow of the restaurant. It is both lively and relaxed, exactly what a patio should be.
Here is the insider secret that seals the deal. Parking is free in the High Street deck. That is a rare convenience for Atlanta dining and it makes meeting friends or planning a date night completely stress free. Note that an 18% service fee is added to all checks to take care of all staff.
The Hampton Social succeeds because it offers more than pretty décor. The food is carefully thought out, the cocktails are playful but precise, and the atmosphere feels like a vacation you did not have to board a plane to enjoy. It is equally well suited for a quick glass of wine, a celebratory dinner, or a leisurely brunch.
With its High Street location, three levels of dining, and a patio that becomes irresistible in the fall, The Hampton Social gives Atlanta a new way to escape without leaving town. It is the rare spot where rosé all day does not feel like a catchphrase but a lifestyle, and where the coastal dream is as close as Dunwoody.
