About the restaurant

Bianca's Restaurant is fine dining in Northwest Albany offering pasta, steak, seafood, pizza and more.

The dessert menu is tempting to anyone with or without a sweet tooth, it's just that good! The cozy, upscale atmosphere paired with the extensive wine list makes you feel like you aren't in South Georgia, but the friendly staff reminds you that you are and definitely makes you feel like family!

Summerville

About the restaurant

8595 is a welcoming and approachable fine dining establishment located in the historic Partridge Inn. Led by Executive Chef Jeff Hairston, 8595 is proof that culinary creations can be as personal, powerful, and engaging as any work of art or piece of music. Every locally sourced ingredient, dash of spice, and delicate garnish blend seamlessly to put a modern twist on traditional southern cuisine.

With dishes ranging from duck fat fried chicken to shrimp and grits and a 60-day aged porterhouse steak, the deliciously distinct results stir the soul and harken back to the jubilance and vibrancy of Augusta’s days as our state capital.

Experience 8595... the flavor of Augusta.
