 Southwestern fusion |
1425 Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard Atlanta, GA 30318 United States +1 404 352 2888 http://www.ambradining.com/ |
Owner and Chef, Kelly Goggin creates incredible dishes with a Southwestern and Mediterranean twist. Kelly believes in quality; as a result, each dish is carefully prepared with unique flavors and is perfectly presented. Lobster Burrito, Tuna Tostada, Ambra Bouillabaisse, and Crab Cakes are highly recommended. And, since you've already broken your diet, might as well go for the divine warm Belgian Chocolate Cake, which is served with vanilla ice-cream. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Just as the name suggests, this restaurant serves scrumptious seafood - and it's all fresh and of good quality. Aqua Blue's sushi bar is among Atlanta's best, and Chef Saito creates magic in front of your eyes. Other recommendations include Fresh Fish steamed in Bamboo, Duck Egg Roll and the New York Strip Steak Sandwich. For those with a sweet tooth, try the Bread Pudding or Hot Fudge Sundae.

Gourmet in Suburbia |

This recent addition to Roswell is garnering attention for its elegant style and innovative dishes. The efficient and modern atmosphere lends itself well to the unique menu, and attracts a large patronage in an area not known for its cuisine. The service is impeccable. The contemporary menu is heavily laden with seafood specialties. Araxi also maintains an enormous wine cellar housing more than 350 vintages and 1800 bottles. Though the decision may seem a foreboding task, every wine offers its own special reward for a particular dish on the menu. Review © 2009, Wcities |

At this meat lover's paradise, there's a wide array of juicy steaks to choose from. There's everything from prime rib to T-bone and filet to ribeye.

After all this, if you still have room for dessert, then go for the sinful chocolate cake. There is an additional location at 3625 Dallas Highway, Marietta, GA 30064 (+1 770 419 1744).

Avanzare is the more casual of two restaurants in the downtown Hyatt Regency hotel. The secret of this great spot, however, is starting to spread to more folks than just Hyatt guests. Tucked neatly away, the dining room offers a quiet escape from the noise and traffic of the business district, while a large saltwater aquarium provides some exotic dinnertime entertainment.

Sandy Springs Favorite |
6125 Roswell Road Atlanta, GA 30328 United States +1 404 843 8002 |
Serving the best food in its neighborhood, this low key joint has stood the test of time. The name is rather suggestive of the prevailing decor, both inside and out. A small bar is located in the corner of the simply adorned dining room. Nothing trendy, nothing fancy, the menu is as straightforward as the service. The fried shrimp is among the best in the city, lightly breaded and not too greasy. Other seafood specialties include a salmon and lobster bisque and a rotating variety of grilled and fried fish.

Mediterranean Dining in the Hyatt |
3300 Peachtree Road Atlanta, GA 30305 United States +1 404 237 1234 |
Cassis was left unchanged when Hyatt took over Buckhead's Hotel Nikko. Hyatt knew better than to mess with success. Cassis offers great French and Mediterranean food and is convenient enough for a business lunch as well as a romantic dinner. The dining room overlooks a beautiful Japanese garden and waterfall, and is elegantly decorated in a Western style. The French influence is strong in the kitchen, particularly in the beef offerings, while the Mediterranean tastes dominate the seafood. An exemplary wine list covers most of the world's great regions. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Competing with the big chains, this is a great local steak house offering (you guessed it) great steak at an affordable price. This restaurant is set up like a large Western roadhouse with high ceilings and lots of Western decorations. Although bordering on corny, it still retains that hearty steak house appeal. The steaks are large and expertly prepared. Baked potatoes and salads are available to round out your meal, as well as a few less beefy items. Great beer selections and a full bar are available.

How does Bouillabaisse-lobster bisque and venison tenderloin strike you? It's a good example of the interesting and not-necessarily-Chinese dishes that come out of this upscale restaurant's kitchen. And it's not often that Chinese dining rooms are so simply decorated; white tablecloths, candlelight and fresh flowers at every table. The menu offers traditional dishes like Peking Duck, and shrimp with black bean sauce, as well. Live piano music is offered nightly in the bar. Reservations are recommended. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Casual sophistication awaits at this downtown restaurant, opened in 1981 in a two-story, turn-of-the-century warehouse.

Some dining establishments are popular for the food, some for entertainment, and some for the good company within. Well, Einstein's has hit all three of these targets since opening in 1992. Perhaps some of the restaurant's appeal comes from the large patio, its proximity to the theater district or the novelty of the Einstein theme. Pictures of Albert Einstein smile in amusement overhead while you eat. Try the quantum leaf, a dinner salad, and follow it with the Fudge Fusion for dessert. The Sunday brunch is legendary, featuring such local delights as eggs benedict with fried green tomatoes. A full bar service is available. Review © 2009, Wcities |

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 |

For those who dine with style |
1000 Virginia Avenue (at Highland Avenue) Atlanta, GA 30306 United States +1 404 815 9155 http://www.heretoserverestaura... |
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 |

Oceanic offerings |

If you are looking to blow a bundle on the finest seafood money can buy, The Oceanaire is the place to go.

With a menu like this, you cannot help but leave feeling content and satisfied. Nothing but the freshest of ingredients go into the making of your meal, so when they say that the tuna they are serving you today may have been swimming the day before, they're not kidding!

Critic's Choice |
1232 West Paces Ferry Road Atlanta, GA 30327 United States +1 404 261 3662 http://www.buckheadrestaurants... |
This culinary duo has been mixing up sweet temptations in Atlanta for years, but nowhere with more success than at their namesake restaurant. Formal but not stuffy, business attire is required in the dining room. Seating is very limited, so call early, particularly for weekend reservations. An elegant lounge area is set off from the main restaurant. Start with the chilled lobster bisque or the spicy filet mignon tartar, then move on to the veal, lamb, or beef tenderloin, or go for the seafood, which includes snapper, grouper and salmon.

Casual Elegance |
75 14th Street Atlanta, GA 30309 United States +1 404 253 3840 http://www.fourseasons.com/atl... |
The redesigned dining room in the Four Seasons Hotel is a constant for calm elegance on the Atlanta dining scene. Executive chef Brooke Vosika prepares consistently exquisite dishes, and the restaurant retains a casual atmosphere despite its hefty prices. The very classy attached bar is a great place to meet friends before a play. The menu offers interesting and combinations, including pea soup over a crab flan and salmon with mashed potatoes and chives. The changing menu is always impressive and diverse, and the restaurant offers a full wine list. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Steakhouse With a Twist |
3393 Peachtree Road (Lenox Mall) Atlanta, GA 30326 United States +1 404 812 0555 |
You'll pay a lot here, but the unusual blend of contemporary cuisine and traditional steak dishes is well worth it. Prime is situated in the front corner of Lenox Square, and the open-air dining room provides an elegant atmosphere overlooking the mall. There is an expansive bar for lounging as well. Prime is known for its steaks, but also offers sushi and other meat dishes. The steak is always perfectly prepared, and the sushi holds its own, although it doesn't quite match the more authentic preparations elsewhere in the city. Review © 2009, Wcities |

The Healthy Place to Go |
2118 North Decatur Road Atlanta, GA 30033-5367 United States +1 404 633 3538 http://www.rainbowgrocery.com/ |
A longtime favorite of the health-conscious, Rainbow Natural Foods is the place to go for organic groceries or a quick meal. The restaurant is a slightly crowded area that only seats about 20 people. The speed and reliability of the food and service make up for the lack of space, though. All food served is vegetarian. There are great smoothies and other breakfast items, along with Sunburgers that are surprisingly good. Be sure to load up on your week's supply of vegetarian groceries and healthful supplements on the way out. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Savory Seafood Specialists |
2100 Cheshire Bridge Road Atlanta, GA 30324 United States +1 404 634 8947 |
Hidden away in an unassuming building, Red Snapper's consistently good seafood has made it an Atlanta favorite. The dining room has not been redecorated in quite some time, but still lends a comfortable, homey atmosphere to the restaurant. Red Snapper's menu is rife with simply presented, uncomplicated seafood. There are several varieties of red snapper, of course, all well prepared and always fresh. There are also terrestrial meat selections for the landlubber in your group. Some nice wines and full bar service are available. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Before catching the latest art-house flick at LeFont Plaza, head on over to the Righteous Room for a healthy meal in a stylish atmosphere. The retro theme of the dark, narrow room is highlighted by small, cozy booths and a jukebox spinning tunes. Normal bar fare such as hamburgers and chips and salsa is featured, but the healthier items such as hummus and other vegetarian specialties are even tastier. The bar boasts a wide selection of beer and other drinks for later in the evening. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Located in the chic W Hotel, Savu fashions intriguing fusion dishes that combine Asian flavor with a French style. The result is an exceptional hotel restaurant to which Atlanta's fashionable crowd is beginning to migrate. Connected to the lobby of the hotel, the dining room has an elegantly romantic feel, largely due to the pervasive candlelight.

A 3,000 square-foot space, Shaun's is a favorite neighborhood hangout. The interiors are utilitarian, and the brick walls and wooden paneling covered in pendant lighting add to the charm and comfort. A mélange of classic and contemporary is what you'll find in this French bistro; this is evident not only in the decor but also in the cuisine. The menu offers special seasonal fare, so that your meal is made of the freshest of ingredients. Try the chicken liver fettuccine with marsala wine sauce, which is an all time favorite.

This lounge cannot boast about its location, but it is nevertheless a good place to relax and re-energize yourself. A Moroccan-influenced ambiance with loads of colors and cut glass greets you within. On the first level you can grab a bite at the common seating area, and watch the salsa performers do their thing. The upper level is more chilled out—you can grab a drink and head to the patio on the roof, which offers a pleasant view. Dining options range from sushi and pizzas to slightly more elaborate dishes, all prepared under the watchful eye of Chef Darryl Evans. Review © 2009, Wcities |
