The story
Madeira Park brings together an exceptional trio of hospitality talent. James Beard Award-winning chef Steven Satterfield, restaurateur Neal McCarthy, and sommelier Tim Willard have transformed the former Highland Inn space into a high-energy neighborhood wine bar and restaurant. The team, known for their celebrated restaurant Miller Union, has created a space that balances casual comfort with serious food and wine. The restaurant’s contemporary menu and thoughtful beverage program earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, placing it among Atlanta’s most noteworthy dining destinations.
Chef Steven Satterfield, who won the James Beard Foundation’s “Best Chef: Southeast” award in 2017, brings his signature seasonal sensibility to Madeira Park. General manager and co-owner Neal McCarthy, a certified sommelier, leads the dining room with a commitment to excellent service. Sommelier Tim Willard, who spent over two decades in hospitality and completed the Advanced Sommelier course through the Court of Master Sommeliers, curates the wine program. The space itself features a large 14-seat bar, outdoor patio seating, and flexible dining options for everything from casual gatherings to sit-down dinners.
Madeira Park describes itself as a proper wine bar with a high energy, casual environment and exceptional food and wine. The menu changes with the seasons, reflecting Satterfield’s deep commitment to progressive culinary practices. The beverage program, led by Willard, focuses on thoughtfully selected wines that complement the contemporary fare. The restaurant serves dinner Tuesday through Sunday, with lunch available on weekends. With its Michelin Recommended status and a location in the vibrant Poncey-Highland neighborhood, Madeira Park has quickly become a destination for those seeking a refined yet relaxed wine bar experience in Atlanta.
