Interior that Blends New York Steakhouse with Southern Influences
The restaurant spans 6,000 square feet and seats 170 guests. It includes an 18-seat private dining room called The Policy Room and a 30-seat bar. Z-Space Design led the interior design, blending New York steakhouse elements with Southern influences.
The interior features rich wood, terrazzo flooring, velvet accents, and dim lighting. It creates a warm and upscale atmosphere accented by artwork from notable Atlanta figures.
Menu Highlights
The menu centers on wood-fired cooking with Executive Chef Zan Malik leading the kitchen. It features prime steak cuts, including dry-aged selections and Japanese and domestic Wagyu. The menu also includes dishes like venison chop, duck breast, salmon Wellington, and wood-grilled branzino.
Guests can also find Southern-inspired sides and desserts, including a Coca-Cola German chocolate cake. The wine program is another highlight of the restaurant. Certified Sommelier Alexa Robertson developed the wine program, which includes 550 selections.
“When I first began working for Rich, one of the things I most admired was his wine list,” said Alexa Robertson.
The selections focus on bold wines suited for steak, along with options from regions like Bordeaux, Burgundy, Italy, and Napa. Guests can also opt for the curated Champagne list and high-acid wines to complement both meat and seafood dishes.
The cocktail menu features classic and seasonal drinks, including house martinis and an Old Fashioned. This version is made with tequila and mezcal. Non-alcoholic options are also available on the menu.
Clark’s Steakhouse brings a refined yet inviting dining experience to Buckhead. It marks an exciting new chapter for Rich Clark as he expands his presence in Atlanta’s dining scene.
