Atlanta United States |
The legends of how Buckhead earned its unusual moniker are varied, but most center around the mounting of a slain deer over the door of a 19th Century public house. Today, the wild tavern tradition is still in full swing. Despite the regular disorder brought on by the drinking crowd, Buckhead's downtown area remains safe, and is home to many fine shops, restaurants and spas.

Best of land and sea |
70 West Paces Ferry Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 262 2675 http://www.buckheadrestaurants... |
Though best known for its steaks and chops, this upscale restaurant, opened in 1989, also delivers prime seafood, from seared yellow fin tuna to cracked pepper and almond-crusted swordfish. Located in the lower level of one of Buckhead's few high-rises, the art deco dining room features redwood walls and alabaster chandeliers. The adjoining Lobster Bar serves two- to five-pound shelled monsters, but is closed for lunch. Take care when ordering side items, as the servings provide plenty to share. A full-service bar provides over 400 wine selections. Business attire required. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Where business minds unwind |
17 International Blvd Atlanta, GA 30303 United States +1 404 681 3303 http://www.daileysrestaurant.com/ |
Casual sophistication awaits at this downtown restaurant, opened in 1981 in a two-story, turn-of-the-century warehouse. Businessmen frequent this establishment, decorated with carousel horses and leather booths, and often head straight for the martini and cigar bar to unwind or settle in for a meal. The menu ranges from Continental, such as escargot and filet mignon in a Cabernet sauce, to creative American offerings like Dailey's heralded fried ice cream. Live entertainment is featured nightly in the bar. Wine tastings are hosted on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Review © 2009, Wcities |

This is an upscale Irish pub with plenty of atmosphere. Opened in 1996, much of the furniture, masonry and decor were imported from Ireland. Fado even sells Irish collectibles and sponsors Atlanta's local Gaelic football team. The menu includes Irish Oak Smoked Salmon, Guinness Battered Fish and Chips, and the exotic chicken or salmon boxtys (stuffed potato pancakes). Irish breakfasts of eggs, sausage, rashers and black and white puddings are served all day. Plenty of Guinness and Harp sold on draft, as well as fine Irish whiskeys. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Hot barbecue and hotter music have combined to make this Midtown spot a local legend. The line of folks eager to get their hands on the award-winning ribs can stretch for a dozen yards outside the door, but the wait is worth it. Try the Brunswick stew and pick up a bottle of Fat Matt's secret sauce so you can try and duplicate these pit-roasted wonders at home. Local blues performers stop by daily to pick a few numbers for your dining enjoyment. In the mood for chicken? Try Fat Matt's Chicken Shack, the Rib Shack's sister joint. Review © 2009, Wcities |

A lot goes on at this hippest of Highlands corners, which sits snugly beneath the sidewalk at Highland and Virginia Avenues. Cozy up to the bar with the sleek after-work crowd, then stay late as the locals filter in. Dim lights and exposed stone walls set a romantic, if crowded scene. The rear section doubles as an upscale steakhouse, open for lunch and dinner daily, as well as weekend brunch. Play your cards right, and the folks here will serve you a steak at the bar well into the night. Review © 2009, Wcities |

4320 Powers Ferry Road Atlanta, GA 30342 United States +1 404 255 7277 http://www.horseradishgrill.com/ |
This trendy spot across from Chastain Park has won rave reviews from locals and from critics as respected as those at Gourmet magazine. Set in a rustic old home that feels more like a mountain lodge, the restaurant features a small bar near the entrance and an enclosed, very romantic patio. The menu of forward-thinking regional cuisine includes such innovative recipes as the sautéed spicy Gulf shrimp with Logan Turnpike grits, as well as Southern classics like homemade sausage in cream gravy with biscuits.

Tavola means "the table" in Italian, a simple name that belies the innovative flair of this elegant restaurant. It is a popular spot for dinner or cocktails, with exposed brick and wooden floors creating an authentic trattoria feel. The covered patio is less crowded, but also less romantic. Italian dishes are prepared in the classic style, perhaps best personified by the veal saltimbocca or the classic torelloni, which is stuffed with smoked mozzarella in a sun-dried tomato-basil pesto cream sauce. An extensive wine list provides many companion options, and you can order by the glass or the bottle. Review © 2009, Wcities |

If you didn't know you were in Georgia, you'd swear you were in New York's Little Italy on Mulberry Street. This authentic bistro weaves Old Country magic here in Atlanta, and with its huge portions, reasonable prices, and decidedly friendly staff, it is a popular choice for family outings and business functions alike. The lively bar at the front is a great spot for celebrity sightings, while the bakery counter sells oven-fresh delicacies for taking home. Review © 2009, Wcities |

For real Southern food with real Southern atmosphere, Mary Mac's is the place. Stop by for everything from country fried steak to green beans that have been cooking for hours. The rambling restaurant on Ponce de Leon has remained unchanged since 1945, and is as much a cultural as a culinary experience. Be sure to bring your church program to Sunday brunch for a 15 percent discount. Regular favorites include the fried trout, baked or fried chicken, collard greens and sweet potato soufflé.

Brunch Worth the Wait |

There's always a crowd of people milling about the corner of Virginia and Highland on weekend mornings; they're waiting for brunch at Murphy's, a handsome white-and-green house that accepts call-aheads, but not reservations. The charming dining area has been kept roomy, creating a comfortable environment but also resulting in slightly longer waits. Chicken, lamb and vegetable dinner specialties are well prepared, as is "the Big Murphy," an enormous baked potato that's a meal in itself. Murphy's wine tasting is a highlight.

This lively spot at the dead center of Buckhead boasts its own brand of Southwestern nouvelle cuisine. The upscale dining room and bar are decorated in a strange sort of refined roadhouse look, while the small patio overlooks a fountain fronting the Peachtree sidewalk. Taos transplant and master chef Kevin Rathburn's specialties include chili-cured rack of lamb, sweet shrimp relleno with golden tomato butter, and grilled chicken tortilla tomato soup. A full wine list features many lesser-known regional labels, and the dessert cart is legendary. Review © 2009, Wcities |

The largest open-air seating area in the neighborhood is well serviced by a friendly staff and provides umbrella cover for bright days.

Liquor and a limited wine list are also available. The deli-quality sandwiches and wraps are cheap and filling, while a full appetizer menu and a few pasta dishes are also standard.

Set atop the Hilton Atlanta and Towers, this restaurant offers the epitome of romance. The view from the roof is breathtaking, and the elegant service is second to none. The gourmet menu features fine Russian cuisine, and the dishes are planned to go with and enhance the many vodka options available. The prix fixe menu is expensive, but offers a truly exemplary Russian meal. Two formal seatings are scheduled nightly, but many folks arrive early to enjoy the views from the cocktail bar.

It's hard classify the style of new American cuisine served at Noche, but the ambiguity won't bother your taste buds. A long bar starts at the door and continues for most of the narrow room, while red-shaded cone lamps provide a romantic ambiance. In the rear, covered porch seating is shared with La Tavola Trattoria next door. The menu features everything from rare tuna with jicama and radish slaw to barbecued quail over black-eyed peas. Full bar service is available, with margaritas and other tequila concoctions as the drinks of choice. Review © 2009, Wcities |

This warm brewery sits at the southeast corner of Piedmont Park, Atlanta's busiest public green. It is a favorite among dog lovers, and hitches are available along the patio to leash your pet while you dine. The decidedly tavern-like interior is dark and friendly, with a fireplace. Two bars offer limited seating, but the main attraction is the patio, which overlooks the Midtown skyline. Pastas, fish and a wide range of appetizers highlight the menu. The Tavern also brews its own line of beer, which ranges from light amber ales to full-bodied stouts. Review © 2009, Wcities |

When celebrities and royalty come to Atlanta, they generally make their reservations at this Ritz-Carlton, probably due to the hotel's cozy lodgings, lavish decor and courteous, impeccably dressed staff. The prevailing decor features mahogany with Waterford crystal chandeliers and marble fireplaces. Hand-woven tapestries and genuine 18th and 19th-century portraits hang in the public entryways. The lobby restaurant and bar are consistently rated among the best in the city, while just outside, Atlanta's two most upscale malls vie for visitors from this distinguished address.

This happening Midtown joint really packs them in, and is quickly garnering a reputation as a can't-miss destination on the local dining scene. The best way to describe the food is creatively modern Southern, but that doesn't really do it justice. The kitchen turns out such remarkable signature dishes as seafood bisque with sherry and scallops over stone ground grits with garlic gravy. Make reservations early on theater nights, as space fills up quickly. Review © 2009, Wcities |

The small door on Moreland Avenue may not give it away, but this swinging joint is a prime hotspot on the local music scene. Featuring live bands every night, the Star is a longtime favorite for catching rising acts and great neighborhood groups. Wild and a little wacky, the dimly lit ambiance leans a bit toward the psychedelic. When the music is not blaring, the place tones down a bit, but remains one of the most interesting melting-pot watering holes in the city. Review © 2009, Wcities |

The fare is unique and expertly done, including such dishes as softshell crabs with asparagus sauce and spicy papaya salad. The no-nonsense dining room is simple and romantic. It can get crowded here, but the wait almost serves as part of the experience. More upscale than most Thai joints, Surin is a bit pricier, too, with most entrees running between $10-15. Full bar.

This local legend is billed as the world's largest drive-in and has been a staple on the Atlanta dining scene since 1928. Countless burgers, fries, shakes and more than two miles of hot dogs are served here every day, along with more Coca-Cola than anywhere else in the world. Dine in your car, seat yourself in one of the many cafeteria-style rooms, or simply order your greasy lunch at the 150-foot-long stainless-steel counter and go. The white-tiled diner theme is a welcome throwback to days when drive-ins ruled the fast food scene. Review © 2009, Wcities |
