Whiskey Bird is a casual spot in Atlanta’s Virginia Highland/ Morningside neighborhood, serving Pacific Rim–inspired dishes and classic cocktails. Drawing from our founder’s childhood spent in Hong Kong, Japan, South East Asia and along the West Coast of North America, our brunch and dinner menus range from vibrant, citrus-forward, herbaceous plates—like our spicy miso-herb Caesar salad, ahi tuna gyoza tacos, and Thai steak and noodle bowl—to rich, umami-packed dishes with layers of bold flavor, like our okonomiyaki-style crispy Brussels, spiced cauliflower esquites, and brunch bao Benedict.The atmosphere? Coastal vibes to match the menu—thanks to our friendly staff and murals by Atlanta artist Christina Kwan, spanning the dining room, covered front patio, and enclosed, heated back patio.

My husband and I had a wonderful lunch at Season’s 52. As we often have dined there, we knew what to expect, great food, service and ambience. We received all of that. Our server Brittany was fantastic as well. We look forward to our next meal at Season’s 52.
