The Spot
The Deer and The Dove sits on Sycamore Street in Decatur, part of a small cluster of concepts that includes B-Side and Fawn, a separate wine and amaro bar. The kitchen has built a following around game and charcuterie dishes, served in portions regulars describe as generous.

The atmosphere leans hospitable, with a patio and a service style that's been noted as well-suited to larger groups and private events.

The restaurant's chef won the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef Southeast award in 2023, and Michelin selected The Deer and The Dove for its 2025 guide.
