Counting Down the Best Restaurants in Marietta | Eater Atlanta
"Despite its simple white brick facade, recently opened Marietta Proper is a time capsule of Prohibition-era opulence. Great Gatsby-esque emerald-and-gold interiors (complete with matching floral wallpaper) seamlessly shift from a cozy daytime roastery and cafe into an elegant evening wine and cocktail bar that leans more cool neighborhood hangout than stuffy lounge. Co-founded by chef-sommelier Jordan Traylor and chef William Adamec (alongside Foxglove event space owners Kacey and Hillery Cecil), the restaurant’s menu delivers globally inspired small plates — think arancini stuffed with chorizo and pepper jack, pork belly tacos, and veggie-packed mushroom dumplings — designed to pair with a list of 200 boutique wines and craft spirits. Reservations are recommended, but the lively bar is always first-come, first-served." - Sarah Bisacca
