"Nowhere nails breakfast quite as well as the South, so if you’re looking for a mouth-watering Southern take on the most important meal of the day, then Atlanta Breakfast Club is probably for you. Open every day from 6:30 am to 3 pm, the ABC is your perfect destination for an early morning eat as well as an afternoon brunch. Although you won’t find any mimosas on the menus, the Atlanta Breakfast Club’s food and coffee definitely make up for it, so if you’re more concerned with eating than day drinking, go ahead and give it a visit.How to book: Walk in or order takeout online."
"There’s nothing that starts a day better for Southerners than some Southern soul food for breakfast. Owned by Osiris Ballard and Anthony Sanders, who is also the restaurant’s executive chef, the Atlanta Breakfast Club is part of the Good Food and Company Team. There’s an unbridled passion for food involved in every dish that comes out of Atlanta Breakfast Club’s kitchen, and the team that runs the joint is absolutely committed to love, loyalty, and outstanding cuisine."
"The homey Atlanta Breakfast Club is a modern diner in Midtown that specializes in soul food and Southern cooking. When it comes to ABC, the shrimp n’ grits, seasonal breakfast tacos, Georgia peach waffles, decadent cinnamon rolls, and killer breakfast biscuits are where it’s at. (Ask about the gravy-soaked “P. Biscuit”, above shown.)"
"Nikolai’s Roof, which sits atop the Hilton Atlanta, boasts world-class dining: It was the first restaurant in the Southeastern U.S. to receive the coveted Four Star Award from AAA, and has held onto the honor for 27 consecutive years (longer than any other restaurant in Atlanta). The fine dining menu presents modern American cuisine with Russian influences, more than 900 wine options, and signature house-infused vodkas. Swanky sophisticated white-gloved dinner service with panoramic views of the Atlanta skyline is offered Tuesday through Saturday."
"I first went to Nikolai’s Roof a million years ago when my college boyfriend took me there. Located at the top of the Hilton Atlanta, Nikolai’s is definitely an impressive place. When I saw a deal pop up for a four-course dinner there, I opted for it for my birthday dinner."

"Aria continues to be one of Buckhead’s top date night destinations. After years of serving classic, white-tablecloth fine dining, chef Gerry Klaskala remodeled his Buckhead staple restaurant to appeal to a younger generation of diners. Now it’s a bit more relaxed and casual — there’s a walk-in ready bar and lounge for drinks and snacks for an impromptu night out."
"Buckhead mainstay Aria is consistently named of the top restaurants in Atlanta, and we invite you to come SEE why for yourself!. To start off your meal, enjoy their lobster appetizer consisting of soft, buttery lobster and smooth, creamy truffle potatoes. For a main course, their scallops are always perfectly seared."
"Whether the date night in question is prom, an anniversary, an engagement, or some less monumental event, Aria is up to the occasion. The pewter-walled room is dim and columned and draped, a modern evocation of ancient Rome. The food similarly updates the classics."
"The Nook on Piedmont Park is situated so that it faces the park and features one of the best-known patios on the city. The tavern features an extensive food and drink menu, but if you are up for an indulgence, try the signature Totchos (tater tot nachos) that are available throughout the day. Get the breakfast variety, which comes with chicken sausage, gravy, and an egg over easy."
"Gyu-Kaku Japenese BBQ opened in Midtown’s Atlantic Station in January 2019 and is a tasteful option for those seeking Asian food. The restaurant is located in the space formerly occupied by Copeland’s Bistro. The Korean barbecue restaurant allows patrons to grill their own meats at their seat."

"Located on railroad tracks, situated in an old train car, and featuring three different rooms for Chinese, Sushi, and Hibachi, this Vinings staple is loco for kids interested in locomotives.

Why go: Fado is the spot for English Premier League football, and you’ll find fans in here watching matches at all hours. It has all the standard trappings of an Irish pub, with a surprisingly elevated menu - even their traditional rashers and breakfast puddings use locally-sourced ingredients."
"Outfitted with a painted rooftop patio, this three-storey Irish pub caters for a sporty crowd. Soccer, rugby, NFL – you can guarantee they’ll be showing it at Fado. You won’t find panoramic views here but then why would you want them?"

The Steamhouse Lounge is renowned for their award-winning lobster bisque, the freshest seafood in the area, and the signature Goombay Smash, accompanied by a variety of ice cold bottled beers. Tuck into freshly shucked oysters and clams from the raw bar or enjoy sharing fried baskets of catfish, shrimp, grouper fingers, and scallops."

The décor inside and out has a seaside theme, and there is the option to eat in the cozy interior or al fresco on the outdoor deck seating, depending on the weather. The lobster bisque at this restaurant has won awards."
