Call us biased, but we think ATL is one of the most romantic and delicious cities in the U. And we can prove it with these restaurants that truly deliver both gourmet cuisine and romance. Restaurants listed below in no particular order. Buckhead mainstay Aria is consistently named as one 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. The intimate, elegant atmosphere at this Buckhead gem with a French inspired menu is perfect for date night. You can taste the care and attention to detail they put into everything. Try the omelette topped with caviar, and get an order of their truffle fries as well as the portions can be a little small.
The ambiance is very special at this New American Decatur stalwart. Known for their fabulously fresh oysters, every dish is like a work of artβthey pay special attention to plating here. The menu changes from time to time, and they always have something delicious on the dessert menu if you have a sweet tooth. The cocktails are also some of the most raved about in the city. Is it expensive? Yes, but is it delicious and worth it and will have you coming back and back again for every special occasion?
Is it just us or is the dining scene in Sandy Springs like, really heating up? Casi Cielo is serving upscale Oaxacan fare. The octopus is to die for, their blue corn tortillas are handmade and cooked the traditional way, and all of their mezcal drinks are super tasty.
Also not to be missed: their underrated brunch service. Order the pastry basket for an array of Mexican breads and sweets, and dig into their savory avocado dishes while you sip on a mezcal mimosa! Enjoy delicious Southern and New American food with a view with your boo at classic Canoe.
