The 16 Best Downtown Atlanta Restaurants

"Though the dining room no longer revolves, the Sun Dial in downtown’s Westin hotel has been a fixture for American fine dining in the city since the ’70s. The Westin remains one of Atlanta’s tallest buildings, so their 360-degree panoramic skyline views make your glazed salmon or bearnaise-drench lobster dinner feel a little extra special. Sky high prices keep most locals at bay (get your mind right to pay $65 for a plate of fried chicken), but we’d clear things with our financial coach if it means impressing our out-of-town fam with a great meal and good views. Between the bill, the U-shaped leather booths, and the white-glove service, you’ll be the talk of the next reunion for sure." - demarco williams, juli horsford, nina reeder
