I'd appreciate any info on a truly original, outstanding restaurant in downtown Atlanta. We're wanting to dine in style, multiple courses, fine wine, and excellent service.

Thank you in advance for any responses.

For original, outstanding, and excellent service, try Mumbo Jumbo. It's altogether different! What it really sounds like you'd enjoy though is the Ritz Carlton on Peachtree. Tres chic. World class wine selection. It's pricey, but you'll feel that you got your money's worth. Hope this helped!

I just tried a relatively new restaurant in Midtown. It's called One Midtown Kitchen. Only a 5 minute cab ride from Downtown... straight down Piedmont, right on Monroe, then right a the first light... write down these directions and GO THERE! Awesome, well-priced, beautiful and delicious... full of locals - for a reason. Try the Goatcheese stuffed Sourdough.

Another great place to eat in Midtown! It's called Gilbert's Mediterranean Cafe, and it is one of those European style neighborhood cafes where the owners are actually THERE every night watching over everything.

Great Paella! Great bar scene. Tiny little jewel box of a place - very very friendly!

OK, am I the only one posting here???

Lunch yesterday on the patio at Joe's on Juniper.

AWESOME... casual, yummy, ice cold Warsteiner on tap, and they let me bring my little dog.

Fun crowd. Great service. Great people watching... perfect when the weather is fine!

You're not alone Toni! I don't always jump in though I'm usually browsing the boards. Thanks for the recommendation on One Midtown Kitchen. It sounds like an interesting place. I'll be in the city next month again, and give it try. Goatcheese stuffed Sourdough??? Ok, why not?!
;)

OK... back again... another excellent choice is Tamarind Thai. Delicate flavors that are not overpowering... just burst in your mouth - sensational.

Truly one of the best Thai restaurants in America, and the decor, the service, the 'attitude' is exceptional. Located right in Midtown. The chef/owner is a beautiful woman who puts a little orchid on your plate as it heads out the door to your table. Her husband, Charlie, is the guy you will probably see at the front of the restaurant.

They are beautiful... the place is awesome. Go there.

A friend of mine went to some place called the Canoe (or something like that).

Anybody have any info on this place? Reservations required? Location? Type of Food? Etc........

Thanks!

Canoe is a GREAT restaurant out on the river... the view is incredible, the building is incredible... the food is incredible.

It's pretty incredible.

Go there

I DONT KNOW ABOUT CANOE BUT FOR ME I WENT TO GLADYS KNIGHT CHICKEN AND WAFFLES, ITS NOT NO BIG REST. BUT IT PRETTY AND IT MAKES YOU FELL AT HOME FOR SOUTHERN COOKING I LOVE IT AND I LOVE MY TRIP TO ATLANTA,GA. AND IF YOU LIKE TO GO OUT TRY GOING TO CLUB 112. IT WAS THE BOMB

Yes!!! YES! Chicken and Waffles is awesome! Great people... great 'comfort' food ... love it!

You should try Chicken and Waffles out in L.A. God awful. Atlanta has it right!

I'm also just a visitor to Atlanta, but we go to the Atkins Park Tavern almost every time we go to ATL. We just like the atmosphere. It's a nice place to relax with a beer. The food has always been above average as well.

One of the best restaurant's in town, hand's down is Muss and Turners, or their other one, Local Three. Amazing food, different menu every time I go. The Swifty's Dream BBQ sandwich is excellent, as well as the Gobbler. So good!
