List of Restaurants

Pink Lotus Thai Restaurant

Rating: 4.7 (610 reviews) Cuisine: Thai
Pricing: $

Description: There are plenty of good Thai places in town, including several locations of the 26 Thai restaurants — but with Pink Lotus, the team behind 26 Thai ups their game with a creative menu of lesser-seen regional specialties that you’ll want to try, like smoky Isaan beef tartare and whole grilled fish loaded with Thai herbs.

Rock Steady

Rating: 4.5 (3.3K reviews) Cuisine: Caribbean
Pricing: $$

Eight Sushi Lounge

Rating: 4.8 (5.4K reviews) Cuisine: Sushi
Pricing: $$

Description: Picture slivers of fresh sashimi, colorful explosions of maki artfully plated on slabs of black slate, plates brimming with miso steak and salmon teriyaki. Pro Tip: Beyond the enticing cocktails, the well-curated sake list begs to be explored.

The Optimist

Rating: 4.7 (58 reviews) Cuisine: Seafood
Pricing: $$

Description: That one of the city’s best coastal seafood spots was built in an old ham-aging facility is more a flex than a matter of irony; elements of land and sea are both well represented here. The patio and lawn seating up front channel New England summers, and the butter burger is no afterthought. Of course, the ocean is where The Optimist shines, whether your picks from the raw bar are fresh, fried, or wood-roasted in the flames of the hearth.

Miller Union

Rating: 4.8 (10K reviews) Cuisine: Southern
Pricing: $$

Description: Steven Satterfield's reputation is well deserved: His cooking has jolted Southern cooking into the modern age, with philosophy that manages to embrace sustainability as much as tradition. (The farm baked egg in celery cream is a cult favorite for a reason.)

Yalda's Persian and Middle Eastern - Westside

Rating: 4.7 (1.4K reviews) Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Pricing: $

Description: You’ll love everything at this handsome Howell Mill offshoot of Ash Famili’s crowd-pleasing Sandy Springs original — the Persian and Middle Eastern spreads, the mezze and kabobs, and maybe most of all, the variations on classic tahdig rice, with its irresistible golden crust.

Chirori

Rating: 4.8 (1.6K reviews) Cuisine: Japanese
Pricing: $

Description: Takashi Otsuka has been delighting Atlantans with his Wagaya ramen and sushi restaurants for years, but his Chirori is something different: A place devoted to sake in all its variety, along with a wide range of modern Japanese dishes with some unexpected (sake-friendly) twists. Crème brûlée avocado with wasabi vinaigrette, anyone?
