Nice Restaurants in Atlanta?

[Princess12]

Our 1 year wedding anniversary is coming up next week, and we are looking for a nice place to have dinner. We really want to avoid the usual Outback, Chilis, Longhorn, etc. Neither of us eat Seafood, and we want to stay away from Italian I think.

Any ideas on nice restaurants in the Atlanta area that won't cost us an arm and a leg?

[Crazy Asian]

BlueFin, Tierra, Fogo de Chao

Oh wait nm that cost an arm and leg.

Rays on the River in buckhead

Sun Dial resturant and bar at the top of the Westin hotel in downtown. It's expensive but worth it. The resturant rotates (slowly, once per hour) to give you a great view of Atlanta.

I can definitly point you toward some nice restaurants, but ambiance costs $$$, so anywhere nicer than your typical Outback, Longhorn kind of place gets expensive. Ive eaten at a LOT of restaurants, here are some of my top picks. Im not gonna list seafood restaurants cause im allergic to most of it, so i dont eat there...

Sundial at the top of the Westin hotel in Atlanta is nice,(+$100 for two) been there a few times. went there for our 1yr anniversary. Great ambiance, 360 degree view of the city, give you stemware (just one) with the Sundial logo on it. Great food (steak/seafood)

Wildfire by perimiter mall. Steak and seafood. Hands down the BEST steak i have ever eaten, also pricey (+$100 for two), great atmosphere, open kitchen (you can see it from where you sit), been there a couple times, have never been disapointed.

Rays family restaurants (Rays in the city, Rays on the River, Rays Killer Creek) Also steak and seafood. Ive havent been to the City yet, other two arent AS expensive. but still be prepared to leave the better part of 100 bucks The service here is excellent, almost better than the food. but i wont knock the food at all. Occasionally they have live music

LaStrada in Marietta/Roswell, One of the better Italian places ive been to. Smaller, more quaint and nostalgic. Priced around the same as olive garden, but better quality food. and from what i remember, they have the paper tablecloths that you can draw on.

I took my wife to some very nice restaurants in Atlanta
First one is Atlanta Grille - it is on the 2nd floor of the Ritz Carlton Hotel across from the Westin Peactree Plaza
They have a romantic room in there call the "Cheaters Room"
Its not as the name speculates it is just a room that is sectioned off from the rest of restaurant & they can make the whole dining experience very romantic

a meal for 2 ran about $120 with wine tasting
Then if you are too drunk to drive you can either walk around the city or go up to one of the suites & "Rock the Casbah!!!"

I've been there 3 times and it's great! Scenery is great as well. Expensive dinner though. My date and I always got the appetizer, drinks, entree, and desert. Cost 150+ and I tip 20% so......

I spend about 150, depends on how much you drink...

That seems a bit much, me and my girl went and only spent around $110 before tip, it is pretty great though. We took a friend to the Sundial this weekend, their entrees were only around $30-40, it is when you add in a $12 drink that you start killing yourself. Again, me and my girl only spent around $100 before tip.
Also, South City Kitchen is pretty good, but it is hard to follow up Sundial. Maybe I'm just impressed easily after living in Mississippi for most of my life.

Well, I have a coupon for Chima lol.... so I was thinking about giving it a shot. Thank you!!

I take it from your username that your a girl. Normally i would tell guys that taking your g/f on a date + coupons = not the best way into her pants, but since it seems like you're the one providing the coupons, I'll give it the OK

[flak_monkey]

cheese cake factory

Cheesecake factory is STUPID. Bunch of LOUD ASS idiots pile in there when they cannot figure out what decent food is.

!!!!??? I love the cheesecake factory!!!! The louisiana style pasta, cashew chicken dishes and thai peanut pasta dishes are great!!!!! OMG I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flemings Steakhouse is really good. Taurus is pretty good too. One midtown kitchen is really good if you want something other than steak. Can't really recommend anything else based on your criteria.
