White cloths cloak the tables. Art adorns the deep green walls. Brown booths line the walls like trim. Plates, beautifully arranged, and glasses, filled to the brim, rest dutifully on the tabletops. Guests of all ages and backgrounds fill the black leather chairs tucked beneath the round tables. It is a community, a gathering, as guests travel from various distances, near and far, to discover the beauty and hospitality of Nowak’s Steakhouse.
Nowak’s Steakhouse, located at 6690 Roswell Road, first opened its Sandy Springs doors in March of 2023 with nothing more than a dream from owner Blaiss Nowak. “I wanted to create the best steakhouse in Atlanta,” Blaiss said. In a city where appearances are everything, often causing food and service to decline in excellence at local restaurants, “I wanted to have both beautiful decor and excellent food.”
Like many, Blaiss aspired to follow in the footsteps of his father, the owner of Hal’s Steakhouse in Buckhead. Having grown up in his father’s restaurant, “It was only destiny that one day I would create my own,” Blaiss said. Ultimately, his dream and his destiny collided to create a much-needed addition to the East Cobb community. Having been raised in and resided in Sandy Springs for the past 35 years, he wanted to create a restaurant that would better serve his East Cobb, Dunwoody, Buckhead, and Roswell community. And so, Nowak’s was born.
Nowak’s quickly became the best-kept secret in the fine dining industry in Sandy Springs. Under the shared expertise of his father, who Blaiss claims is his biggest fan and supporter; the influence of his wife, Jenni, who designed and crafted the vibe of the restaurant; and the contributions of his mother, who prepares all the restaurant’s desserts, “It’s a family affair!” Blaiss said.
This family extends to include both Nowak’s staff and guests, as the emphasis on hospitality bestowed upon guests makes them feel right at home. Blaiss has “trained myself to always be watching what is going on in my dining room and by checking on my guests during their dining experience.” Even further, he has “trained our staff to anticipate our guests' needs to ensure great service when dining with us.” This training permits even the guests from the furthest distances to feel like part of the Nowak family affair.
