"While getting a reservation at Bacchanalia isn’t quite the big brag it used to be, dinner at the new American restaurant on Ellsworth Industrial will still earn you envy points. You can opt for the à la carte menu or try the prix fixe menu, which gives you an impressive four-course meal for $110 per person. The seasonal menu changes, but the souffle cake and crab fritter are always our picks when they're available. Caviar service and enticing options from their big leather-bound beverage “journal,” will tip your total bill toward executive suite hotel rates. But the very attentive staff (probably the best in the city) will make you feel like you’re made for that luxury traveler lifestyle." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams
"Getting a reservation at the Westside’s Bacchanalia isn’t the unattainable feat it used to be three decades ago. Yet, their $110 prix fixe menu and stylish industrial space still make it a winning fancy occasion meal. Signatures like their hush-puppy-adjacent crab fritter and perfectly spongey soufflé cake are so close to our hearts we actually wear photos of each in lockets. And the New American restaurant’s staff remind you of overly hospitable Airbnb hosts, chatting you through their long beverage “journal” and even sending you home with whole loaves of whatever’s left from their daily bakes." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Anne Quatrano’s Michelin-starred fine dining institution in Blandtown rotates its seasonal nonalcoholic cocktails, including the Heart of the Valley, created by manager and Zilch Market founder Savannah Rainy. A base of Petrine — a botanical zero-proof spirit — combined with cherry, lemon, and pink peppercorns delivers a bright and balanced drink with subtle spice and heat." - Laura Scholz
"A long-running fine-dining stalwart frequently cited among the city’s essentials, representing the high end of Atlanta’s restaurant landscape with a reputation for refined, multi-course experiences." - Beth McKibben
"The two-decade-old fine dining stalwart and one-Michelin-starred Bacchanalia and its epic tasting menu are better than ever. The menu includes the popular crab fritter, Maine lobster with polenta, and a rotating array of in-season entrees and desserts, like an Earl Grey souffle with gelato. Located next to the market and cafe Star Provisions on Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard, reservations are required for a table here. Don’t have reservations? Head to the bar for cocktails, a glass of wine, and the a la carte menu. Best for: Seasonal tasting menu, cheese selection, and wine list." - Eater Staff
