Georgia Aquarium

Aquarium
Zoos & Aquariums
The Georgia Aquarium is a renowned attraction and one of the largest aquariums globally, featuring thousands of animals from hundreds of species across eight galleries. From freshwater creatures in the 'Southern Company River Scout' exhibit to massive whale sharks in the 'Ocean Voyager' gallery, the aquarium offers a diverse marine life experience. Additionally, visitors can enjoy special events like Sips Under the Sea, transforming the family-friendly destination into an adults-only cocktail party with live music and exclusive access to all galleries.
This place is truly magical. From the moment we stepped in, there was so much to see and do. The layout is uniquely organized and allows you to explore at your own pace. We went during the month of October, so got the added bonus of The Haunted Seas decor tastefully added around. The sheer size of the tanks and habitats were very impressive and even though it was crowded, there was still room for everyone to move around and explore at their own pace. Plenty of information on display, as well as employees throughout both offering further educational info and being available for any questions. There were also quite a few tunnels that take you under tanks, for different viewpoints. There are dolphin and sea lion shows available, included in general admission but needing spots to be reserved ahead of time. For us, there were many highlights. From the whale shark, to the belugas, to the tiger shark, to the dolphins. We spent a little over 2 hours here but could easily have spent longer. Would highly recommend this aquarium to all who love the ocean and the creatures who call it home.

Very fun! We went on a Friday so it wasn’t crowded. The Halloween decorations were cute, the seal show was adorable, we got to see the last og whale shark, they had a whole bioluminescence walkway, etc. It’s better to go on a weekday at a weird hour, it’ll less crowded and you won’t have to wait hours to see an exhibit or get your food. Speaking of food, ITS EXPENSIVEEE!! I got a hamburger, fries, refillable soda, and a mini chocolate cake, and it cost $32, the food was good but dang! The seating area, soda machines, and condiment stations are very clean! All in all, it was very fun :)) Gal approved!🫧

We loved everything about this place. We purchased the City Pass and this was one of the options, although this was the only attraction we really wanted to see. If you are planning on going, allot several hours, if not all day as there is so much to see and do. You won't be disappointed.

The Georgia Aquarium is truly a world-class experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and welcoming. They offer garage parking, which made access super convenient—especially helpful for families or anyone visiting during peak hours. Inside, the facility is impressively large, clean, and thoughtfully laid out. You never feel cramped, even with a crowd. The exhibits are stunning and well-maintained, showcasing a wide variety of marine life—from playful otters and majestic beluga whales to mesmerizing jellyfish and vibrant coral reefs. What really stood out was the staff. Every team member we interacted with was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the animals and the guest experience. They were happy to answer questions and made sure everyone felt engaged and informed. Whether you're a local or visiting from out of town, the Georgia Aquarium is a must-see destination. It's educational, entertaining, and beautifully run.

This is perhaps one of the best aquariums I've been to in quite a while. A lot of students and teachers showed up which made it always interesting. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The attractions were excellent as well. $64 for adults and I don't know what it was for under 18 but this is a must see if you come to Atlanta.

Breathtaking, beautiful place. I could sit all day and watch the mesmerizing creatures swim in the huge tank. Take your time and see all the exhibits. It’s very easy to get around and there are plenty of places to sit and rest. There were many staff members available if you have any questions. Highly recommend!

Absolutely incredible experience! The Georgia Aquarium is one of the best aquariums I’ve ever visited. The main tank with the whale shark and manta rays is jaw-dropping, and the dolphin and sea lion shows are so much fun. The exhibits are clean, well-designed, and full of fascinating marine life. Staff are friendly and helpful, and everything is easy to navigate even when it’s busy. Highly recommend spending at least a few hours here — perfect for families, couples, or anyone who loves the ocean!

World of Coca-Cola

Museum
Specialty Museums
Located in Atlanta, the World of Coca-Cola is a museum that showcases the history and success of the iconic soft drink that debuted in the city in 1886. The museum features interactive exhibits, films, and memorabilia related to Coca-Cola's journey from Dr. John Pemberton's headache syrup to becoming a global phenomenon. Visitors can enjoy a 4D theater experience and taste over 100 Coke products from around the world.
This was such a fun experience to share with my sister! Growing up in a poor family, having a Coca-Cola at home meant it was Christmas or a very special celebration. So learning about its history and exploring the galleries brought back so much nostalgia. I also loved the interactive areas and games! There are plenty of great photo spots too, just be ready to wait a bit or find a less crowded corner. Definitely a must-visit when in Atlanta!
BA — Google review
If you're a Coke fan, it's great. Lots to see and taste. I'm just a standard drinker who was there for an event. It was interesting to try variants from other countries for sure, and I'd make it a stop if you have time but there are more interesting places to see in the area. For me personally I'd give it a 3, but I'm rating it for the target audience. :)
Dave D — Google review
The World of Coca-Cola was a fun experience overall, though definitely more about the brand than the history behind it. There’s a little bit of nostalgia and storytelling sprinkled in, but most of it feels like one big advertisement — which, to be fair, is kind of what you expect when visiting the home of Coke. My favorite part was easily the picture scanners that morph your face into vintage Coca-Cola ads — such a clever and entertaining touch that makes for great keepsakes. The soda tasting room, on the other hand, was a bit too crowded to really enjoy. It’s fun in theory, but hard to savor the experience when you’re shoulder-to-shoulder with people. Still, it’s worth a visit if you’re in Atlanta and want a lighthearted, bubbly stop full of photo ops and brand nostalgia. Also please note you can find a cheaper ticket if you purchase from a third party.
Spencer I — Google review
A fun visit overall! The exhibits were engaging, and the atmosphere was lively and well-curated. The Coke tasting room was definitely the highlight—it felt like the most interactive and entertaining part of the experience. That said, most of the foreign soda options weren’t very good to our taste, but it was still fun to try them all. Great for families or anyone curious about the brand’s global reach. Worth checking out at least once!
Wa Q — Google review
It was a fascinating experience. I went on my last day in Atlanta and spent a good 3 hours there. For an additional charge you get a commemorative cup that you can fill with your favorite coca cola drink and take out of the museum. Even if you dont buy the cup, you get to sample so many coke flavors. My favorite exhibit was the stories of coke exhibit as you get to step back in time and its interactive media wise.
Katherine C — Google review
Loved the World of Coca-Cola! Fun place with great energy and a lot of cool history. The tasting room was my favorite part ,trying flavors from different countries was awesome. Staff were super friendly and everything was clean and well organized. Definitely worth a visit in Atlanta!
Ali — Google review
It was honestly better than I thought it would be. There is A LOT of information. It's pretty interesting to read/see if you can get close. It gets crowded quickly, so I'd recommend getting there right when it opens or during the week. The tasting room was pretty cool & unique. There's a cool little "cocacola" town inside. Lots of photo ops & very interactive exhibits. The gift shop in the end has some neat stuff, but it's a bit pricey. You can design and print your own coke can!

The World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta is one of the city’s most iconic attractions, drawing visitors from around the world to explore the history and legacy of one of the most recognized brands on Earth. Located near Centennial Olympic Park, this museum-style experience is vibrant, colorful, and engaging, offering an interesting mix of history, entertainment, and marketing brilliance. Upon entering, visitors are welcomed with cheerful staff and an energetic atmosphere that reflects the brand’s image of happiness and refreshment. The exhibits are well-organized and neatly maintained, guiding guests through the fascinating timeline of Coca-Cola’s development — from its humble beginnings in 1886 to its evolution into a global symbol of joy and togetherness. As a medical professional, however, I found the scientific aspect of Coca-Cola’s creation rather simplified. The museum emphasizes the “secret formula” story, repeatedly mentioning that the recipe remains unknown and locked in a vault. While this adds an element of mystery, I believe the real challenge behind Coca-Cola’s success is not its formula but its exceptional marketing and branding strategies. The exhibits highlight this power of marketing — how a simple beverage became a cultural icon through clever advertising, emotional connection, and global outreach. The “Vault of the Secret Formula” section, although dramatic and beautifully designed, feels more symbolic than scientific. Still, it captures visitors’ curiosity effectively and makes for a fun photo opportunity. The display of historical posters, old glass bottles, and vintage advertisements truly reflects how Coca-Cola shaped popular culture across generations. The 4D theater experience adds a touch of thrill, combining humor, motion, and visual effects to entertain both children and adults. The museum also offers a well-curated collection of artifacts, including early bottling equipment, promotional materials, and even art inspired by Coca-Cola’s global influence. These exhibits are informative and nostalgic, giving a sense of how marketing, design, and consistency built an empire around a single product. One of the most enjoyable parts of the visit is the “Taste It!” gallery, where visitors can sample more than 100 different Coca-Cola beverages from around the world. It’s fascinating to experience how flavor preferences differ by region — from fruity African sodas to unique Asian blends and the classic American favorites. This interactive section is definitely the highlight of the tour and leaves visitors with a fun, memorable experience. The store at the end of the tour is well-stocked with exclusive Coca-Cola merchandise, souvenirs, and collectibles. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the variety and quality are worth it for fans and collectors. Overall, the World of Coca-Cola is a well-maintained and thoughtfully designed attraction. It’s more about storytelling and marketing than scientific innovation, but that’s precisely what makes it unique — it showcases the power of brand identity and emotional connection. While I personally found the medical or technical depth minimal, the museum offers an enjoyable and educational experience for visitors of all ages.

Atlanta Botanical Garden

Gardens
The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a 30-acre oasis in the heart of the city, offering a diverse range of attractions for visitors. From its stunning conservatory and enchanting fountains to hosting events like concerts and cocktail parties, it's a popular destination for families and nature enthusiasts alike. The garden is renowned for its world-class plant collections, captivating exhibitions, and unique features such as the Fuqua Orchid Center, showcasing rare high-altitude orchids.
Fantastic garden! Worth the day trip as a date with your partner, your parents or your kids — fun for all ages and group sizes. 🕣 Time spent: 2 hours (not including snack breaks or lunch onsite) The grounds were BEAUTIFUL! Carefully curated and manicured. Walking along the different areas was fun and the most breathtaking part was the conservatory — the 3 different climates housed in there was incredible and the size of the trees, you know they have been in there happy and healthy! ☕️ We even stopped for a food demo at the herb garden and were pleasantly surprised. The chef hosting that day was hilarious and knowledgeable — she had a great personality and taught us about eating (rather, drinking) fig leaf tea! ☀️ Time of year to visit: We unfortunately came at an in between while visiting Atlanta in which they just closed the Alice in Wonderland installation and were building the fall pumpkin themed area — which was closed to the public. It would have been nice is the tickets were discounted since part of the grounds were not accessible during the installation process. 🕐 Wait time: We visited at opening 9 am on a Sunday in late September. The line was minimal (10 min) and the grounds were at a comfortable business. The later in the day around 12, the crowds and lines were definitely more noticeable.

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a true gem and a fantastic escape right in the heart of Midtown. This 30-acre urban oasis beautifully blends stunning horticulture with world-class art, offering a dynamic experience for everyone. ​Highlights You Can't Miss ​The Earth Goddess: The centerpiece, a massive, living topiary sculpture, is an absolute showstopper. ​Kendeda Canopy Walk: Stroll 40 feet above the Storza Woods on this unique treetop suspension bridge for incredible views. ​Fuqua Orchid Center: Marvel at one of the country's most extensive collections of orchids, including rare high-elevation varieties. ​Art and Exhibits: The gardens are peppered with impressive art, including beautiful glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly and fascinating seasonal exhibits. ​A Garden for All Seasons ​The Garden is wonderful year-round, with diverse exhibition areas like the Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, and the tropical Fuqua Conservatory. It also hosts popular seasonal events, such as the colorful "Atlanta Blooms" in the spring and the enchanting "Garden Lights, Holiday Nights" in the winter. ​Whether you're a serious plant enthusiast, looking for a tranquil date spot, or seeking a fun family outing—especially with the award-winning Children's Garden—the Atlanta Botanical Garden is a well-maintained, lush, and inspiring destination that's definitely worth a visit.

🌸 Atlanta Botanical Garden: A Whimsical Wonderland in Bloom This was truly something I enjoyed! The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a lush, enchanting escape nestled in the heart of the city. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted with a refreshing cocktail and a sense of magic in the air. The “Alice in Wonderland” theme added a playful, storybook charm—giant mushrooms, whimsical sculptures, and floral displays that felt straight out of a dream. Even with the heat, the beauty of the gardens and the creativity in every corner made it worth wandering. It’s more than a park—it’s a living gallery of nature and imagination. A perfect spot to slow down, sip something sweet, and let your senses bloom.

This was our first time visiting Atlanta, and the botanical garden was on our bucket list. My wife and I really enjoyed walking through all the different themed areas, the whole place was super clean and well taken care of. They gave us a map at the entrance that made it easy to find our way around, which helped a lot since the park is pretty big. The highlight for us was the indoor garden area. It was full of unique plants, facts, and displays—definitely our favorite part and something we’ll remember. We saw plants we’ve never seen before and learned a lot too. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d for sure come back again in the future. Note: save $4 by buying ticket online but processing is $2.50 per ticket. You have to pay additional for parking on site. Date: October 2025 Fee: $33+ tax online per person Parking: $13 (4hrs) Time: 3-4 hours Clean: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crowd: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Interactive/Education: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved my visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden! It’s a large and beautiful place to walk around and explore. Depending on the season you visit, you’ll get a different experience. I went during Halloween, and everything was perfectly themed for fall — such a lovely atmosphere! One of my favorite parts was the Fuqua Orchid Center, absolutely stunning! Still, every area of the garden is worth admiring — the flowers, trees, and plants from so many different species make it a magical place. If you’re lucky, you might even spot some frogs in one of the sections! It’s a wonderful and family-friendly spot to enjoy nature and relax. I truly recommend it! 🌸🌳🍁 Also I’m visiting from Florida.

🌺 ATL Botanical Garden – A Jedi Master's Retreat Among Flora and Fantasy 🌿 Tranquility found, in the heart of Atlanta it is. Wandered into the ATL Botanical Garden I did, and emerged hours later fully immersed in a world where the Force flows not from kyber crystals—but from orchids, fountains, and sculpted artistry beyond imagination. The vibrant displays of orchids will ignite your senses like twin suns at dawn, while artful topiaries and glowing glass installations will make even the most seasoned Jedi pause and admire. Nature and creativity here dance in harmony like a well-executed lightsaber form. 🌸 Whether you're here to meditate among the greenery, chase younglings through the whimsical Children’s Garden, or stroll along the canopy walk with the wisdom of Yoda whispering in your ear, there’s something for all beings of the galaxy. ⚠️ Important quest you must complete: Do not miss the Alice in Wonderland displays—an enchanting floral takeover that runs only until September 14th. From blooming chess pieces to larger-than-life topiary characters, it’s a wonderland even the White Rabbit wouldn’t dare to rush through. 🌳 The entire space is a botanical adventure—interactive, beautifully maintained, and bursting with seasonal magic. A must-visit for photographers, families, couples, or travelers simply seeking peace. 💬 Final Verdict: A garden, this is not. A living Force temple, it is. Go, you must—and let your senses bloom.

This is a truly great garden, and I've visited quite a few! The unparalleled effort dedicated to their conservatory is immediately apparent and makes it a standout attraction. I particularly enjoyed the tranquility of the space, enhanced by the many calming walking paths. Beyond the beauty, the educational aspects are well-done and engaging. It's well worth a stop if you find yourself in the area.

I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't a bunch of already dead or dying plants. I'll chalk that up to the fact the season is changing but for a place that deals with flowers it shouldn't have that. Just my opinion. It had the Alice in Wonderland theme in some parts and they looked amazing. The singing flowers were the cutest. The scenes were nice but it was kinda boring. It's a great place for pictures tho. Lots of walking and if you get there early park on the top deck. It leads straight to the garden.

The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park in Atlanta is a significant site that honors the life and work of the renowned Civil Rights leader. Visitors can explore various historic buildings and exhibitions that delve into Dr. King's legacy and the Civil Rights movement. The Visitor Center offers insightful exhibits and films, while the King Center provides additional displays. Notable attractions within the park include Dr.
A Profound and Powerful Experience Visiting the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park was one of the most moving and educational experiences of my life. From Dr. King’s birth home to the Ebenezer Baptist Church and the museum exhibits, every part of the park tells a story of courage, justice, and hope. The exhibits are rich with historical detail, and standing in the same church where Dr. King preached gave me chills. The visitor center is thoughtfully curated and offers deep insights into the civil rights movement and Dr. King's powerful legacy. The reflection pool and eternal flame are peaceful and solemn, encouraging visitors to pause and reflect. This park is not just a place to visit — it’s a place to feel, learn, and be inspired. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Atlanta. It’s free, family-friendly, and a must-see for all generations.

Visiting the Martin Luther King Jr. museum in Atlanta was an incredible and moving experience. The exhibits are powerful, well put together, and truly capture the life, legacy, and impact of Dr. King. Walking through his childhood home, the church where he preached, and seeing the exhibits dedicated to the civil rights movement makes history come alive in a very real way. The museum is both educational and inspiring—it leaves you reflecting deeply on how far we’ve come and how much work is still left to do. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. This is more than just a museum—it’s a must-visit landmark of American history that everyone should experience at least once.

​This National Historical Park is an absolute cornerstone of American history. It masterfully connects the personal life of Dr. King to his world-changing movement, creating a powerful, deeply felt experience. ​✨ Top 3 Must-See Moments: ​Dr. King's Birth Home: Seeing the modest, two-story house grounds his immense story in a humble reality. Even if the full interior tour isn't available, the street and ranger presentation vividly bring his childhood in Sweet Auburn to life. ​The King Center & Eternal Flame: The reflection pool and the tombs of Dr. and Mrs. King provide a powerful space for quiet reverence. It’s a somber, yet incredibly inspiring, place to reflect on their sacrifice. ​Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church: Standing inside the sanctuary where Dr. King preached is a truly awe-inspiring moment. This was the spiritual and strategic heart of the movement, and you can practically feel the history in the air. ​Personal Takeaway: The park isn't just about looking back; it's a powerful call to action. It shows how one family and one neighborhood launched a global movement for nonviolent change. It's an essential, moving pilgrimage for all generations. ​Service offers a valuable ranger-led presentation about the home next door, and all other areas of the park are open!

I recently explored the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park in Atlanta and found it to be an incredibly moving and enriching experience. The park spans nearly 35 acres in the historic Sweet Auburn district, offering a wide range of landmarks tied to Dr. King’s life—from his childhood home and Ebenezer Baptist Church to the King Center and Freedom Hall. Starting at the Visitor Center, I joined a free ranger-led presentation that provided essential context before touring the birth home and the church. The emotional weight of standing where Dr. King lived and worshiped is truly unforgettable. Highlights include the serene World Peace Rose Garden, the “Behold” statue, the Walk of Fame honoring civil rights leaders, and the final resting place of Dr. and Mrs. King—marked by a reflective Eternal Flame. The park is thoughtfully laid out and very accessible, with plenty of space to reflect, learn, and engage. It’s a vital piece of our nation’s history and a must-visit for anyone in Atlanta.

We went to Atlanta for the purpose of the free museum and it's a great place to take the kids to learn about such a iconic guy in American history. Wish they had more statues of him around. It was a lot of photos. It would've been nice to see more life size statues. I was surprised to see that he was buried across from the museum in a fountain that was such a blessing. We had no idea he was laid to rest with his wife. I wish the house that he grew up in was open when we went. We did walk down the historic neighborhood and got to see all the old school houses that was really nice. I just wish we were able to go inside and get a tour. We didn't go in time for the church tour but for it to be free and the surprise of him being buried there was a great experience overall.

This was great. There's some cool music stuff outside for the kids, there's a cool walk of fame kinda thing with cool footprints, but best was the indoors with the multimedia. The voting questions and video on the struggle were informative, and I've read many of his speeches. The shop next to his childhood home was *excellent*. The church is iconic. 10/10 will go learn Again.

Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta is one of the city’s most iconic and beautifully maintained public spaces, created as a legacy of the 1996 Olympic Games. Located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, the park serves as both a tribute to the Olympic spirit and a lively gathering place for residents and visitors alike.

Whether you are out for a walk, a jog, or simply to unwind after visiting nearby attractions like the World of Coca-Cola or the Georgia Aquarium, the park offers a refreshing break from the urban rush. One of the most striking features of Centennial Olympic Park is the Fountain of Rings, a spectacular interactive water fountain designed in the shape of the Olympic rings. It is a favorite spot for families, especially children, who love playing in the dancing waters synchronized to music. In the evenings, the fountain show with colorful lights and music creates a joyful atmosphere that draws crowds and photographers alike. The park also holds great historical and emotional significance. Several monuments and plaques across the area commemorate the 1996 Summer Olympics and honor athletes and volunteers who contributed to its success. There’s a sense of pride and nostalgia in the air as you walk through, reminding visitors of Atlanta’s moment on the global stage. The Olympic torch replica and engraved bricks featuring the names of donors and supporters add to the charm and authenticity of the experience.

As my first time in Atlanta, visiting this park was on my top to do list recommended by lot of “things to do in Atlanta“. The park was clean and felt safe since it’s right across the aquarium and World of Coca-Cola, we crossed right over after visiting those experiences. The park had a nice walking trail around the park but aside from that there wasn’t too much to do or vendors around. For my first time experience, this park was very interesting and found a lot of history to it. To me this is more of a one time experience but definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Atlanta for their first time. Note: the Ferris wheel is right across the street. I recommend doing it to get night view and pictures of the downtown skyline 🏙️. 🙂 Time: 40 minutes Clean: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crowd: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Interactive: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's clear that a great deal of care goes into keeping the park in such good order. The beautiful landscaping and well-kept facilities make for a peaceful and enjoyable experience, whether you're strolling through the grounds, relaxing by the Fountain of Rings, or attending one of the many events. The park's cleanliness and excellent upkeep truly enhance its beauty and make it a must-visit destination.

I had the chance to come to Centennial Olympics Park after visiting the Aquarium. Such a peaceful and quiet park. It was well maintained and there were not a lot of people. I love a nice good park area to take a step away from the city vibes.

Art museum
Museums
The High Museum of Art in Atlanta is a must-visit destination known for its diverse art collection and modern architecture by renowned architects Richard Meier and Renzo Piano. The museum features a large permanent collection encompassing American, European, and African art, including southern folk art, modern and contemporary art, as well as photography with a focus on American works.
Of course I loved it! Art anyone? Although I had hoped for newer displays since my last visit, it was still a treat to see prior pieces and newer ones. I was espeically drawn to two installations, Faith Reingold, "Seeing Children" and a piece that literally stopped me in my tracks and brought tears to my eyes, Roger Brown's "Dawn." It's apocalyptic nature surrounded in a bloom of mandalas was stark, warm and cold simultaneously. I love the quiet, the complimentary stools you can carry as you go and the overall peace I feel with just my noise blocking headphones, art paper, my thoughts and the emotional effects of beauty. It's not the Louvre, but it's steeped in artistic sensibility.

It was an interesting combination of art from multiple cultures and eras. My son and I amused ourselves coming up with names for the abstract sculptures. I've never seen so much furniture included in an art museum before. The item that stood out as "I'm not sure this belongs here" was a turnstile. 🤔

I visited the Museum on the UPS secondb Sunday program, so the admission was free. A modern museum with a large collection and two hours were barely enough to cover all the grounds. The coat check lady was extremely nice, sharing with me information about Wednesday free admission under the Access for All program.

I’m not flipping over the moon but it was fair. $30 per. A bit confused on the entry. Followed the art gate to the entrance-if I didn’t have my wife with me it might’ve took me longer to find. Nice people/customer service on entry and ticket line. If you spend another $30 you get an annual pass. Good deal since they change out art through the year. Purchased tickets on site. Multi levels dedicated to different periods. I LOVE the Black/African History. Very nice big layout spacing to see the art comfortably while others can be admiring the same art piece. I got super thirsty with all the walking. If you’re afraid of heights, the walk up can be nervous. Maybe there’s an elevator. Had to sit down once. It’s plenty to see for the money. We parked at the food hall and walked over but they have parking that i think cost. Took about 45 min at our pace to view everything. I’d recommend and come back in a few years. Makes you want to venture out to other museums. Security was available.

Nestled between Atlanta's vibrant Midtown and the charming Virginia-Highland neighborhoods, Piedmont Park is a sprawling 189-acre urban oasis that invites both locals and visitors to unwind. This beautifully designed park, originally crafted by Joseph Johnson and later enhanced by Central Park's Frederick Law Olmsted, offers a plethora of recreational activities. From jogging paths and basketball courts to dog parks and picnic areas, there's something for everyone.
Wonderful walk through this urban park! First hour is $3 parking in the public parking deck. Lots of folks playing recreationally. Careful for the tight parking spaces in the deck. There is a clearance beam that hangs above the so I wouldn't drive a tall vehicle through it.

Shakey Knees 2025 My boyfriend and I had an amazing time on Saturday 9/20/25 at Piedmont Park for Shakey Knees. We went to see Tv on the Radio. They were absolutely fabulous. We also enjoyed seeing Johnny Marr, Cage the Elephant, and of course My Chemical Romance. We got the GA+ tickets, and the ammenties were great. It was nice to stretch out and have enough room to relax. The AC bathrooms were top notch, and we loved the Comp drink options. We got food at Get Baked, Mosh Burger and the Pizza joint. I absolutely loved the veggie burger that Mosh makes. This was my second Shakey Knees festival, and my boyfriend's first time in the ATL. Such incredible memories! Can't wait to see the line-up for next year's festival. Thank you Shakey Knees!

I spent a sunny afternoon exploring Piedmont Park in Midtown Atlanta, and it deserves five stars. The park is vast and beautifully maintained—perfect for walking, jogging, biking, or just lounging on the grass with a skyline view that never gets old. Whether you're coming for a stroll, playing fetch with your pup in the off-leash dog park, or enjoying a picnic by Lake Clara Meer, there's something for everyone. What makes the park extra special are its amenities: an ADA-accessible pool with lap lanes, current-channel for floating, scenic fountains, and concessions—great for cooling off on warm days. Families will love the playgrounds, especially the artistic Noguchi Playscapes with modern sculptures and slides that double as public art. Piedmont Park is the city’s event stage for festivals like Dogwood Festival, Atlanta Pride, Music Midtown, and more—bringing energy and culture each season. But even without an event, the park radiates calm—great shady spots, restrooms, and enough paths and benches so you can easily settle in for a peaceful break. The Conservancy behind the park has big plans too: expect new walking and bike trails, better restrooms, expanded tree canopy, and creative paths weaving through the treetops—making an already amazing park even better in the years ahead. All around, Piedmont Park feels like the heart of Atlanta—green, welcoming, and full of life.

Piedmont Park is truly the heart of Atlanta. It’s the perfect place to relax, go for a walk, or just sit and enjoy the views. The reflection of the city skyline on the water is absolutely stunning—especially around sunset. Whether you’re into jogging, picnics, or simply people-watching, this park offers a little bit of everything. Always peaceful yet full of life. A must-visit if you’re in Atlanta!

Zoos & Aquariums
Zoo Atlanta is a large and modern zoo that houses over 1,500 animals from 220 different species. One of its most popular exhibits is the Asian Forest, which is home to giant pandas Lun Lun and Yang Yang, along with their offspring Mei Lan and Xi Lan. The zoo, located in historic Grant Park just minutes from downtown Atlanta, features a diverse array of wildlife including lemurs, monkeys, elephants, giraffes, kangaroos, lions, and more.
Great and clean zoo with lots of animals in large enclosures, largest of Zoos I have previously visited. The zoo itself was cleaned and maintained well. Prices in gift shop were way to high and ended up not getting even a t-shirt, it was well over 50.00 for a normal shirt, that part is ridiculous. Much better pricing at Aquarium for souvenirs. Make sure to buy City Pass and save. Was easy to use and redeem the tickets at all locations. Went on a Friday and was bummed not many shows were available. Feeding the giraffe was nice and quick. The VR ride was nice but a little short for price.

Really nice zoo. Its small but mighty! I have gone with a wide range of people and there is truly something for everyone. From 5 years old to 70 years old, I and my guests have never had a bad experience. I even often go as a solo adult in her thirties and I love spending time here!

Zoo Atlanta was very easy to navigate. They have handicap electric chairs you can rent for $40 all day. The paths are easy to walk or ride. The exhibits are very nice. Plenty of maps, Information and bathrooms spread throughout. They have snack stands a cafe and Ice cream stands. The also have a well equipped children's section that includes a jungle gym, zipline, rides and games. There is a gift shop and plenty of parking which you pay for the day for $12. It was a lot of fun. Very recommended.

We had a great day at Zoo Atlanta. We came on a Sunday around 10am. There was no line to wait in to buy tickets. We spent time at every exhibit and saw animals being active. The animals here look healthy and are given decent sized enclosures. I love the employees who are near exhibits who talk to you about the animals and give you facts and tell you about their conservation efforts. Our kids fed the giraffe, that was a hit! We ate at nourish cafe. The food was good. We had Sonoma burgers and fries and our kids split a chicken finger basket. We also got the refillable souvenir cups. We did everything in the children’s area. Train, carousel, treetop trail, and playground. Our kids had a blast. Lastly, we hit the gift shop. The souvenirs will give you sticker shock but they had a lot of cute stuff. From buying tickets to walking out we spent $300 for a family of 4.

Today, Monday, we went to the zoo and had a great time learning more about the animals and their habitats, their environment, and their care. Everything was clean and well-organized. Highly recommended! The three lion brothers, the giraffes, the elephants, the Sumatran tiger, and all the other animals that live in this great zoo were spectacular. You can have a great day out with the family. Highly recommended.

Overall it is a nice zoo and has a lot of trees and shade and enough variety of animals so it is a pleasant place to walk around and spend the day. It is smaller than many other USA big city zoos, though, as I've seen mentioned in the other comments. For those familiar with Chicago zoos, it is closer to the size of Lincoln Park Zoo rather than the much more spacious Brookfield Zoo.

This was also one of our favourite. Make sure to put it in one of your to do things in Atlanta. My best animal there was the Gorillas and how they were fed. They behave very well and sensible. The smallest elephant in age but biggest in size entertained us with the ball he plays with. We loved everything about about the zoo.

Nestled in the vibrant Buckhead neighborhood, the Atlanta History Center is a treasure trove of Georgia's rich past and cultural heritage. Spanning 33 acres, this expansive center features an impressive array of attractions including the Atlanta History Museum—one of the largest in the country—and the Centennial Olympic Games Museum. Visitors can explore living history programs at Smith Family Farm, admire the elegance of Swan House, or delve into research at the Kenan Research Center.
We had a wonderful time. We especially love how much the history center encompasses with the Swan House and trails and farm houses and main exhibits. We spent a while walking the trails. We also really enjoyed the Cyclorama oil painting. The exhibit complements the painting extremely well. The employees were kind, especially Jack who helped set up our visit in the perfect way.

This is a really good place to visit if you are in Atlanta and want to understand its past. The location is perfect and the grounds are beautiful. Everyone should see the Cyclorama, the Swan House and Olympics area. There was a great exhibit on Hank Aaron as well. My only negative is that there are too many kids that are allowed to run around the museum and treat it like it is a playground. This is not specific to the kids section. Inside the Swan House, there was a group of half a dozen kids running up and down the stairs. Inside the Hank Aaron exhibit, there was a group of young kids seemingly on a field trip running laps and playing. I don't think I ever saw one museum employee the entire time. It really takes away from the experience of a museum. I also want to point out that the gift shop could use better options also. We were looking for a magnet of the Center and could not find one. This is rare for a museum of this type.

The cyclorama was truly stunning. Words cannot describe the amount of effort the 17 German artists must’ve went through to paint it, and the effort put into preserving it. So happy it was though! The video presentation was great and I would recommend it for a little bit more insight on the history of it. The Swan House was also beautiful, an astonishing statement in architecture and it was fascinating to see what house style house was for people with high status.

This is definitely a favorite place of my family and it is nuce that the Atlanta History Center offers famliy pass so we can revisit anytime.

The Atlanta History Center was genuinely one of the most incredible places I have ever set foot in. We learned so much in the span of the couple hours we were there. As visitors from Orlando, the Atlanta History Center really allowed us to experience Atlanta culture and the rich history that the city has. We did the guided tour of the Smith Farm and our tour guide was great - she also tended the farm along with a man who I don’t remember the name of. Both of them were so sweet and made our trip very memorable. We also got to pet some adorable goats at the farm. The one thing I will say is, get there early and plan to spend the day. We thought we would be able to get through the museum in 3 hours but we weren’t able to explore the gardens and a few of the exhibits due to time. We plan to visit again and explore the rest of the AHC. This visit was the highlight of our trip. Thank you to everyone who makes this place possible, and the experience so surreal. To get to experience this was a privilege.

I always recommend the Atlanta History Center to anyone from out of town. It's a great retelling of the city's history and has several features that add to its unique charm. Between the panorama, the Swan House, and the grounds, a day at the AHC is a day well spent.

Overall, I enjoyed my time at the Atlanta History Center despite some exhibition closures since there is plenty of things to see and learn about the aspects of Atlanta. The Swan House was especially interesting since almost everything in that house are originals dating back to the early 20th century or earlier.

Opened in 2014, the state-of-the-art facility showcases engaging exhibits featuring famous college football players, interactive multimedia displays, and authentic memorabilia.
A Must-Visit for Football Fans and Families! We had a fantastic time at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The whole place was spotless and well-organized, making it easy to explore and enjoy. The exhibits are fun, interactive, and perfect for all ages—whether you’re a die-hard college football fan or just tagging along with one. The energy of the Hall really captures the excitement and spirit of the sport. Plus, its location right in the heart of downtown Atlanta makes it super convenient to visit, with plenty of restaurants and attractions nearby. Highly recommended—definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

What a treat for sports fans. This customized interactive experience is unlike anything we have attended in a museum or attraction. Not only do you get swept away in the nostalgic history of college football but you can become part of the action with fight song karaoke, be behind the desk for Home Depot Game Day, see your face in a painting for look like a tailgater in the 1920's. The trophies, uniforms, videos, and historical evolutionary journey are to be experienced and absorbed. We highly recommend.

For any football fan, young or old, the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta is an absolute must-visit. It’s not just a museum – it’s a fully interactive experience that’s both fun and impressive from start to finish. There’s so much to explore, from combine-style challenges where you can test your speed or vertical jump, to photo walls that use AI to place you as a fan inside a stadium. Throughout the entire visit, there’s an ongoing interactive game that makes the experience feel dynamic and immersive rather than just walking through exhibits. What really makes it special is that it has something for everyone. Whether you’re a die-hard college football fan or just curious, it’s engaging, hands-on, and really well done. Kids will love it just as much as adults, because it’s not only about history – it’s about experiencing the game in a fun and personal way. The ticket price is also totally fair. I paid just under $30 as an adult, and I believe there are discounted tickets for kids as well. All in all, a fantastic stop in Atlanta and a place I’d absolutely recommend.

The place was nice and easy to walk. The history is cool but limited to certain recent years. The place had high tech things to try. College gameday was my favorite area. The music is cool and keeps you in the season. The area to be on the field was nice. The store is small but well kept. It would of been nice to see a Heisman area or a tribute to all the great stadiums in cfb.

This place is a must see for any college football fan. Let's start with THE WALL. No, not the wall from Pink Floyd, but the football helmet wall. Upon entering the Hall of Fame, the first thing you see is the helmet of every single football team in every level of NCAA college football!!! NCAA FBS, FCS, Dll, Dlll....but they even have all the NAIA team helmets too! After you put in some information about yourself (don't skip this step or you'll miss out on a lot of fun later!), you will see your college/university football helmet light up. Employees nearby can assist you in finding your team as they have laser pointers that can show you where your school's helmet is located. Other highlights are the trophy area (current national championship trophy and previous versions, NAIA national championship trophy, the Heisman Trophy, and the big 6 bowl game trophies: Rose, Orange, Cotton, Sugar, Peach, and the Fiesta), the Hall of Fame room (where you can look up anyone who has been inducted into the Hall of Fame and read about their accomplishments), the AI floor (gotta see it to experience it!), the history of college football area (see old uniforms, equipment, footballs, etc), video game room (college football only of course), and your chance to be the play by play announcer during a football game. There is also a skills area for you to throw a football and test others skills. The gift shop is a great area to find collectibles, but of course your team may not have any merchandise there. Only the best teams have their merchandise sold in the shop.

Lazy Betty is a high-concept restaurant known for its innovative tasting menus and wine pairings, offering a stylish dining experience. The restaurant also operates a takeout service with more affordable and generously portioned meals designed for at-home dining. Inspired by their mother's hospitality, the co-owners draw on regional ingredients to create contemporary tasting menus with clever flavor combinations. Dishes like sweet Georgia shrimp causa and seared Hudson Valley foie gras showcase the restaurant's creative approach to cuisine.
A wonderful experience that was made more beautiful by the caring staff. The sommelier, our server, and busser were very attentive and friendly. The food was to die for but I won't describe it, as that's like giving away spoilers to a good book. Not your everyday meal, but worth the price. (We paid about 500 a head for the chef's tasting menu and wine pairings)

Absolutely spectacular Michelin star restaurant in Midtown Atlanta. Came here for my wife's birthday and enjoyed our entire experience. Prior to arriving, we were called by the manager or owner to confirm our meal choice which he recommended the 6 course menu for us first timers. Turns out, it was an excellent choice and left us feeling satisfied and we'll fed. The drinks were excellent as well and we're recommended to us by our excellent server Anthony who was very helpful, friendly, and helped guide us through our meal with great personality. There were other team members who explained some of the courses to us, and they were all very thorough and kind as well. The ambiance of the restaurant is excellent with a nice looking bar that helps balance out the very well designed and not overly crowded restaurant. The entire experience at Lazy Betty was truly a Michelin star worthy experience and my wife and I were both completely satisfied. 5 stars easily and two very enthusiastic thumbs up for Lazy Betty!

The food is top tier, from flavors to execution we were so lucky to enjoy the deserved Michelin meal. Thank you kitchen team and chefs. Have to give a big shout out to Conrad and Austin. Austin for the warm hospitality and conversation at the bar. Conrad.... after hearing our plight of the airline causing us to miss our flight to Tokyo he pulled out all the stops for our experience.

Miller Union is a New American restaurant located in an unpretentious area of Knight Park and Howell Station.

The restaurant offers a modern, rustic space that exudes intimacy, blending classic and contemporary elements. It's known for its affordable sit-down lunch options and is popular among corporate crowds due to its sophisticated yet approachable atmosphere.
We went without reservations (waited 30mnts to be seated at the bar) which the supervisor was always checking on us, while we waited we ordered a drink. Our server at the bar was polite and professional. The sweet potato gnocchi was awesome. My dish (coffee rub steak) was good and the bride sprouts with potatoes was a good way to balance the saltiness of the steak seasoning. The duck was good, but a small portion. The almond cake was bland for me, but my friend loved it. The cocktail was good citrus (bubble wine, vodka, orange and cranberry juice). It was a good experience, and good service, it didn't become my favorite but it will be a "good experience".

We dined last night (V-Day) for the $135 prix fixe menu, and it was underwhelming (and not worth fighting the West Midtown traffic imo). The host area when you first walk in is EXTREMELY tight and congested offering little space for waiting. We arrived early and sat at the modestly sized bar for 15 minutes with NO acknowledgment from either bartender. We eventually called over a bartender to place a cocktail order. We were the only Black couple at the bar - hopefully, that wasn't a factor, but it certainly was a fact. The outside porch was nice, but not as climate controlled as I would've liked. I kept my jacket on the entire evening. Our server was polite and attentive, and with the exception of dessert, I enjoyed my meal (sweet potato gnocchi and fish entree). Overall, the coursing of the meal was a bit slow, and I was surprised that there was no bread service at all. If you're paying $135 for a meal, I think it should include bread service at a minimum. I appreciate the cocktail program as both of my cocktails were quite good. Overall, the Miller Union experience made me appreciate Bacchanalia even more.

Out of 5 stars, 3 is generous. I have been twice, and each time one dish out of several is quite good and the others are mediocre and a couple are not good. The egg in celery is a 7. Our waitress said the halibut was her favorite fish dish there ever but it was essentially a Thai dish overpowered by curry. I had lamb on pasta. The lamb was way way way overcooked. Blitzed. Realistically 7-10 minutes over. The sides were great. I asked the som for a recommendation of a piedmont wine for under 100. He recommended a wine that retails for 50, priced at 85, that was okay at best. This, sadly, is the state of the art in Atlanta dining. I spent 300 for 2. It was worth 75. Both times.

Miller Union came highly recommended to me so I was looking forward to trying it. When I arrived, I was happy to find that they had a valet. The facade of the building is unattractive (but that's not very important) but the inside is modern with some character. They have a good wine selection. The food was pretty good but not great. I had to duck. My friend had the fish. There was not anything wrong with food the meal, it just wasn't exceptional or noteworthy. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and professional I'm not giving this place five stars because the food was not exceptional, and they wouldn't allow tasting of the wine before committing to it -- even the ones with open bottles. Also, we were sat in this little nook with another table in very close proximity. Everything we said and they said could be heard because of the acoustics with the walls. Our neighbors were very loud and so it was not a romantic setting. One odd thing I noticed is that they kept their wine in a locked cabinet so that, as explained to me by one of the staff members, people on the staff or customers would not take it. I thought that was just quite odd for a place with this price point. Overall, I think most people would enjoy this place very much. I rate on a price value curve and so may be a little tougher than most. Proud to have 111 million views of my food photos. I'm attaching some of Miller Union here.

This was an exceptional experience. I went to Miller Union with the management team from Delbar Buckhead and we were blown away by the service. We felt like we were the only patrons there. From the valet to the bartenders to the servers and sommelier, everyone was attentive and friendly. The male bartender ran the drinks to our table and Laura, the other bartender, came by to check how the cocktails were. We ended up ordering every appetizer except two and every dish was flavorful and unique. The oysters and egg in celery cream were the stars of the appetizer course. Our main courses consisted of the seafood stew (my favorite), the risotto, the hanger steak and grouper. Every dish was excellent. Olivia, our server recommended the seafood stew and I love it. Glad we added it to our order. The sommelier, Princeton, recommended two wines; a Morgon and a red Sancerre which I had never even heard of. The Sancerre was my favorite and I am glad I had the chance to try it as they only had a handful of bottles. Dessert was banana pudding and the Hummingbird cake. The banana pudding is something I will always order whenever I see it on a menu and this was hands down the best I ever had. We were the last guests to leave the restaurant and at no time did we fell like they were ready for us to leave or were rushing us out. We had great conversations with all of the above mentioned staff. Great experience....can't say it enough.

As a first-timer here, I can confidently say that I'll definitely be coming back! I had heard so many good things about this restaurant, so I finally decided to check it out. Let me tell you, I was absolutely blown away by the seafood green curry. When the server brought the plate to our table, the first things I noticed were the vibrant green curry and crispy coconut rice. The dish was loaded with snow peas, carrots, radish, cilantro, and mint. And let me tell you, it was unbelievably delicious! Another favorite of mine was the lamb meatballs with strawberry salsa and the roasted poulet rouge. Both were just wow! And the cocktails we ordered were perfectly crafted. We tried the puddle jumper and bootlegger, and they were amazing. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

Gunshow

Mentioned on 
+6 other lists 
$$$$expensive
New American restaurant
Gunshow, located in Atlanta, is a unique dining experience created by celebrity chef Kevin Gillespie. The restaurant's concept combines elements of Chinese dim sum and Brazilian churrascaria, offering small plates like Japanese bacon-and-shrimp pancakes and Caribbean red snapper crudo. Diners can enjoy quirky cocktails made with inventive ingredients while seated at communal tables. What sets Gunshow apart is the interactive dining experience where multiple chefs prepare their creations and personally present them to diners for selection.
This was one of the wildest dining experiences I have ever had! We took our son here for his 18th Birthday and man what a treat we were in for! If you don’t want a spoiler don’t keep reading, but you get to watch the chefs each cook up high end dim sum type portion dishes. They then come to your table and personally describe the dish to you and ask if you would like 1 or 2 portions if it. You then share the dish with your group. They also have an amazing rolling bar that a bartender brings by your table and makes drinks on the spot for you. I had this amazing Old Fashioned that he did some type of flame over the top of it (see pics)! And to top it off they have a dessert selection they bring by your table at the end and ask if you want to try one, a few or all of those. I have to admit we were not in love with every dish. Some we thought we would like and didn’t and some we thought we would hate and we loved. Examples of this being the Sea Urchin dish was a very weird taste, but they had this ice cream dish with Caviar that was to die for! The menu changes every few weeks so if you go you may have a completely different set of dishes to try, but you WILL have an extremely fun time and have something you are telling and showings pics of to other people and talking about with whoever you go with for a while after! If you fully immerse yourselves you can expect around $100 bucks a person. We feel like we could have reserved a few things and it would have been more around $80 bucks a person which to me is not bad. We definitely plan on returning for a flavor tasting rematch!! Thanks for the amazing night and experience Gunshow!!

This restaurant reminds me of the TV show The Bear—high-quality fine dining delivered in a fresh and unexpected way! All the chefs are hard at work in an open kitchen, each preparing their own special dish. Once it’s ready, they bring it straight to your table and offer it to you. You get to decide if you want it and how many portions you’d like. It’s an amazing system—such a great experience and absolutely phenomenal food! Every single dish was perfectly executed. I highly recommend this restaurant. We’ll definitely be back! Ps.: they customized the menu to say “Happy Birthday Brandon” for us! Great touch!

You come here to sample spectacular amazing beautiful food, not stuff your fat gullet. The staff is fantastically attentive, the sommelier is superb, the cocktails are transcendent, and the food is a blend of creativity, love, respect, and effort. You will spend money, but you will gain significantly more in a palette experience worth every penny.

Gunshow is less a dining hall and more an elaborate theatre, one where food plays the reluctant understudy to spectacle. They charge, mind you, not merely for sustenance but for art. Alas, one’s purse grows lighter whilst one’s stomach remains in tragic suspense often times. I departed the place not unlike a man who has attended a sermon, spiritually stirred, but bodily unfed. It is, in all fairness, an experiment and an expensive one, akin to those alchemists who turn gold into confusion. There is, I daresay, an air of European pretension about the whole affair, as though the roast quail had studied abroad and returned unbearably cultured. Reservations are scarce, of course, for scarcity is the new seasoning. It lends the place an aura of exclusivity, much like a velvet rope before an empty ballroom. I have dined upon finer fare and sipped more honest wine, yet I find myself oddly amused. For truly, no one visits Gunshow in pursuit of mere nourishment. Nay, one goes to witness the grand performance of modern appetite: where hunger and vanity duel with silver forks and the only casualty is one’s wallet. Tragic, delicious folly!

I've done Gunshow for my birthday the past two years now and it has impressed each time. I am both an avid cook and admirer of those who create unique dishes I would never think of, so this is a great place to be inspired. My only complaint, is that both times they forgot it was my birthday (not a huge deal) and someone else at a table near me did not have their birthday forgotten haha. It's almost a tradition now and I'll probably be back next year.

Such a fun concept! Reading the menu we were unsure what sounded good but then the chefs come by and explain their dishes and you gotta have it. One recommended saving the crab omelette to eat with the steak course and we were not disappointed! I think we only passed on one dish the entire night. Creative cocktails, great food and a fun atmosphere. Definitely check this place out!

Unique, Fun, and Delicious – A Must-Visit Dining Experience! Gunshow is a one-of-a-kind restaurant that brings bustling city energy and imaginative, forward-thinking dishes to the table. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is vibrant and electric, with a unique dining experience where food is presented tableside by the chefs themselves. The roving cocktail cart adds to the excitement, giving diners a fun, interactive show. Wherever you're seated, you have a great view of the open kitchen, where the chefs work in perfect harmony, preparing each dish with care and precision. Gunshow is an experimental dining experience, so be prepared for bold flavors and innovative, tapas-style dishes that will push you out of your comfort zone. The menu rotates seasonally, showcasing the best ingredients, so there’s always something new to try. A special shoutout to the Banana Pudding! I typically don’t go for this dessert, but the staff highly recommended it, telling me it’s the owner’s grandmother’s recipe. It was absolutely incredible—rich, comforting, and reminiscent of the homemade desserts my grandmother made. Definitely a highlight of the meal! Highly recommend Gunshow for anyone looking for a unique, fun, and delicious dining experience!

Bacchanalia

New American restaurant
Restaurant
Bacchanalia is a renowned restaurant in the city, known for its seasonal New American cuisine and extensive wine selection. The establishment boasts an elegant white-tablecloth setting with industrial-chic touches. Owned by chef Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison, Bacchanalia has been a pioneer in promoting female chefs, such as executive pastry chef Carla Tomasko and executive chef Faye Poon.
We had dinner there for the first time for our anniversary. The cuisine was exceptional. We have always been fond of farm-to-table restaurants, as nothing tastes fresher than seasonal vegetables, especially when they are sourced from the restaurant's own farm. Their services are exceptional as well. There was some bread left on the table that I felt bad about discarding, so I asked to have it boxed; they handed me a "coat check ticket" for picking it up on the way out. I liked the hassle-free service; it was nice and avoided the embarrassment of carrying stuff through the restaurant. When we checked out and picked up the leftover bread, the front desk lady asked if I would like some more bread; they packed it nicely at the front desk, ready to go. How nice! It exceeded my expectations; it's exceptional service, truly Southern hospitality. The atmosphere was remarkably. The combination of farm style and contemporary warehouse-converted space created great appeal and vibes. We will definitely return for dining more frequently.

I had been waiting since college to eat here so was glad to snag a reservation while in town. Service was impeccable and the ambiance had a industrial chic vibe. The food was all executed perfectly; maybe not particularly innovative. The cheese courses stood out. The set menu price was actually quite reasonably priced with multiple options to choose from

Fantastic seasonal prix fixe menu with great options for each course - I chose lobster, duck, brillât savarin cheese course and SF Muscadine dessert. And the bites before, in between and after are so delicious as well. Warm hospitality and great recs from the team. I was able to use my Amex Platinum quarterly Resy credit which is another bonus!

Being our (my girlfriend and I’s) first time at a Michelin Star restaurant, we were very nervous coming in as we do not normally eat at an establishment this high. We did not know what to expect. But the food and the entire staff took those nerves and made our experience there something we will need to see again! The staff made us feel at ease, wishing us a Happy Anniversary any opportunity they get. It felt like they knew our dinner was very important to us. They were meticulous in how they presented a dish or how they cleaned the table and it was very nice to see and experience. The food was a once in a lifetime experience. We’ve never had food so good. We were blown away. The cliche of having small portions at a nice, fancy restaurant was not true at Bacchanalia. We were stuffed by the end, and everything was perfect from my 1st course through the 4th. Each dish we ate had very nice flavors, some bites we were left breathless. They also added in small dishes to start off and a couple in between which was also a nice surprise. If I am given the opportunity to come back here again, I would. I am glad that Bacchanalia gave the love of my life and I a perfect dinner for our First Anniversary and a memory that will last a lifetime!

I came here for my 40th birthday as a long time fan of Star Provisions. It was my first Michelin star experience and I was unsure if it would match expectations. Suffice to say, the price was worth the experience. The service was top notch and the food was simply fantastic. I was so incredibly full and satisfied by the end that I needed to be carried out to the car. They have earned their accolades in my opinion and I look forward to coming back!

Worth it. Every dish was creative, full of flavor, and attractively plated. The dining experience is much more than just what's shown on the menu. With everything they give you there are actually about 10 dishes in total. I really like their approach that provides a tasting menu experience ehile allowing you to choose your plate for the main courses. This let's you tailor the meal to your preferences and offers more variety for repeat visits. Among many great dishes, the peach souffle was one of the best desserts I've eaten in a long time. Looking forward to going back!

For a prix fixe, it's a good amount of food and you'll definitely be full. There were a lot of good things about the food. There were some amusement bouche items, an intermezzo, and some Madeleines and chocolate to finish off the night. They also start the night off with some Brazilian cheese bread. So it's more like 4 courses with four smaller items in between. And you get two sides (sauteed bok choy and frisee tomato and nardello pepper salad) to share. It is good value for the amount of food you get. I started with the poached lobster. It was okay. Honestly, it was a little tough and I had a hard time cutting through it with my knife even. Honestly a little bland... The scallops were my favorite item of the night. Perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing. My friends seemed to like the duck they got. My biggest disappointment of the night was the cheese course with the bread. I got the straciatella with peaches and hazelnuts with raddichio. It was really weird...and the cheese was too salty and I was just having an odd salad. The parker house rolls came in a cute mini cast iron but they were cold. The sourdough was super tough as well. For a restaurant with a Michelin star, I would have at least expected the bread to be warm. The chocolate souffle was ok. The cherry or whatever compote at the bottom was a little unpleasant. All in all, the food was quite forgettable and I think the fact that it has a Michelin star really set the expectations too high. The server was great. Otherwise, I don't think I'll ever come back. At certain points in the night, I wondered how this place got a star in the first place because the food was not that great.

Excellent service and good food. You definitely will not walk away hungry. I'd highly recommend the duck for your second course. Cocktail program is limited, but there is a large wine selection. My only nitpick would be that the polenta served with the lobster had a few grainy hard pieces that didn't seem fully cooked.

Went to staplehouse for lunch to try the grinder sandwich, but ended up trying the pizza as well. We went on a Saturday and street parking was free. We ordered the grinder sandwich for $23 and a pesto and Jamon (ham) pizza for $35. The food came out within 15 minutes. The grinder sandwich was tasty! There were many flavors and textures. Overall, it had a strong garlic/pesto saucy flavor to me. I liked the crunch of the pickled carrots. It's a good sandwich for sure if you're a sandwich lover. The pizza we picked had no cheese layer or red sauce. It was smoked burrata with Jamon ham, and arugula with balsamic vinegrette on top, so it almost felt like a salad on top of the pizza. The pizza dough was thin and delicious, but they somehow get the crust thick and chewy. The flavor again was very pesto and balsamic vinegarette driven. It was well made and the arugula was very crunchy/fresh, but it's a personal size pizza for a steep price. Overall, we thought that the food was well made and good, but i don't see myself going out if my way to come here for a sandwich or pizza. One thing that surprised us was that they charge a 4% employee health insurance to their customers for their employees. It wasn't disclosed in advance, so we were surprised when we saw it on our receipt. I'm sharing just in case anyone has a budget to follow, as it is a surprise charge. This place is mainly self service, so you can get your own water and napkins. There's limited seating inside and an outdoor patio. It's casual inside with lots of plants and wine. Cool experience!

Staplehouse is absolutely gorgeous—such a cool, homey, and relaxed atmosphere that I really enjoyed. The salads were incredible, especially the tomato salad, which was easily the standout. The pizzas had great flavor, but unfortunately, the toppings slid off the moment you picked up a slice, which was a bit disappointing. The ricotta pizza with spicy honey and tomato sauce was extremely spicy—much spicier than expected. I wish the person taking our order had given us a heads-up, as I assumed it would be more of a mild drizzle than a full-on heat experience. The drinks, however, were amazing! I had the Bramble, and it was super refreshing. One thing that caught me off guard was the self-service aspect—you have to grab your own plates, silverware, and water from a large orange jug. If my friend hadn’t been there before, I wouldn’t have known that, as no one explained it to us. Finally, while I understand and respect their concept, paying $60 for a salad, pizza, and one drink, I didn’t expect to bus my own table at the end. It just didn’t quite match the price point or dining experience I anticipated.

Discovered this restaurant in the Michelin Guide as it has a Michelin star. Was very excited to try this place and looking at the reviews and photos my hopes were high. My first confusion was with the menu. While it said that some items are rotating I was unable to find an actual menu on their website, just an ordering page that seemed too short to be true. Parking for the restaurant was hard on a Saturday for dinner - not the restaurants fault. Greeting staff was very friendly on reserved me a seat outside while I was ordering as this restaurant does not have table service. Ordering was a little weird as the menu wasn’t really visible with two people in front of me and drinks were spread across a couple of open fridges which didn’t really give this a premium experience for the price. Guy at the checkout was nice too but didn’t ID for my drink. An auto gratuity of 20% seems to be the unfortunate standard now and even though I was pretty sure I selected other tip and no tip, again since there was no real table service, I was charged a roughly 20% tip. I wouldn’t be surprised, however, if the restaurant included a hidden automatic 20% gratuity as they also charge a 4% EMPLOYEE HEALTH INSURANCE SURCHARGE. With the prices of menu items this was a little bit outrageous to me. Now to the actual food: ordered the SH hot chicken and got my order brought to my table in a short amount of time. Presentation was very underwhelming for a Michelin star restaurant and the taste even more so. Nun had little to no taste at all. Chicken didn’t feel like the best quality but I couldn’t really tell because it was so spicy - at least that was right. Could not taste the mayo unfortunately. Overall, a chicken sandwich from pretty much any fast casual chain would’ve been tastier and the item should have deserved some kind of a side. One of the staffers rolled their eyes when I asked for napkins and another argued with me that this would be Nashville style hot chicken is just supposed to be burning in your mouth. If this was supposed to be Nashville style hot chicken I have had better at some fast food chains. Overall a very disappointing experience and would not consider coming back. Pizza looked very good but since the staffer at the register advised me against it I wouldn’t take the risk and come back to try it. Very unfortunate - my worst experience with a Michelin star restaurant so far.

We're from Europe and while visiting Atlanta, we discovered this place from the Michelin Guide. We read reviews before coming so we knew it would not be the typical Michelin Star experience. You ordered from the counter and there is no really table service, but it's totally fine. We came for the food and we figured if this place earned a Michelin star without the service and the restaurant standing, the food must be incredible. So we ordered a charcuterie plate as a starter and then we had a meatball sandwich, one Margherita and 2 Peperoni pizzas. The charcuterie plate was ok at best, the various cheese and charcuterie are the same you would find pre-packed in any grocery store in Europe, we had way better in many normal restaurants. Then came the sandwich which were served wrapped like a to go sandwich from Subway. They charged you 25$ before tax for this sandwich and I litterally had better sandwich at Subway! The pizzas were ok, it's real Neapolitan style pizza with airy crust and soft and crunchy dough. But the problem is you expect much better than that in a Michelin star restaurant, the pizzas are the same you would find in any place that serve Neapolitan pizza, there were no twist in the Margherita, just tomato sauce, mozzarella and a bit of basil for 21$. They added a bit of peperoni and there you have your Peperoni. Finally we had a cookie for desert and guess what, it's just an average cookie. The people were nice, nothing special to report here. One last thing, they automatically charge you 4% for the personnel health insurance, which I find borderline as they also ask for tips with a minimum suggested of 18%, while there were no real service as you order from the counter. Oh and you pay upfront, right after ordering. This was a very bad experience for a Michelin star restaurant and hadn't it been a Michelin star, it would have been an ok. Because overall, nothing was bad, but nothing was very good neither. The price they're asking is simply ridiculous for the quality they serve.

Very intimate dining experience with top notch service. From start to finish the wait staff makes sure you are knowledgeable about the dishes, cocktails, and wine and selection. We went for a dinner date so the ambience was dimly lit but the music was jumping. The scene sorta reminded me of the show “The Bear” on Hulu. Every dish was made with intention. The restrooms are clean and spacious and there’s plenty of street parking in this classic neighborhood. I didn’t get a chance to tour the restaurant, but there is a good sized patio as well as a back room area for additional seating. I’d love to come back again in the next couple of months. The menu changes with their seasonal selection.

Loved everything about this place! We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of pescatarian and vegetarians options but the menu does change a lot (I think they even said every night) so it may not always be the case (the first time my husband went without me and said they only had a fish risotto he was able to have, which, I will add he said is to die for). Either way we will definitely be back!

Celebrated our wedding anniversary here, which was our first time and it did not disappoint! The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating to my sleeping toddler (giving us a pillow to make sure she was comfortable). They made every interaction feel personable and seemed like they genuinely enjoyed working there! All the dishes that we had were packed with flavor and left us wanting more! Specifically the crudo with crispy rice and the branzino. You can appreciate the effort that went into the presentation and the way that all the flavors blended together so perfectly. We also enjoyed their cocktails and their cheesecake that we had for dessert. We're already excited to go back and try out even more! 10/10 would definitely recommend!!

Highly recommend this spot for a date night or if wandering around Inman Park & dining alone like me. Felt at home from the moment I walked in the door; the hostess and host were joking with me and instantly had me smiling. I didn’t have a reservation (I’d recommend one) but they were able to get me a table. Seemed like almost every waiter in the restaurant made a touch point during my meal. I really liked how everyone worked as part of a team. I had a tough day that day, and the music, fusion appetizer, and the comfort of the chicken Parm made for a perfect experience and finish to my day. Wish I could give them more than five stars. Second half of the chicken Parm was just as good when I heated it up the next day. 🤣

I went here for my birthday. I am from the Afro Diaspora and I really enjoyed my food. Though I love Afro flavors this place was more plain, simple and unique flavors. It was not overly seasoned, but the food was still fresh & beautifully prepared. I had the beet salad which was so good. I came for the sole and it was good. I just squeezed some lemons on it to give it that lemony flavor. I also had the apple tart because I like tarts. I did wish that I had chosen the cakes. The tarts crust was perfect but the apple was sticky and lacked the fresh baked apple look that I would have loved on a tart. It was sticky and hard to slice. Overall my experience was great and I cant remember the young ladies name but she was a beautiful brown young lady with long braids or locks. I apologize for not getting your name, but you were awesome and suggested and accommodated my questions and my experience was great because of you and the staff. Thnx Aria

The service was impeccable. There’s an elegance to returning to your favorite restaurant, especially on a special occasion. Food What makes this place so special is how the chef takes the dishes you love and gives them thoughtful tweaks. It’s almost as exciting hearing someone else describe those refinements as it is savoring them yourself. The hamachi is always pristine. The beet salad strikes that perfect balance we crave. The seared foie gras is decadent and never disappoints. The steak and frites—featuring tender filet mignon and hand-cut fries—hits that sweet spot between elevated and comforting. The sole, topped with breadcrumbs and sautéed shiitake mushrooms with a cauliflower medley, shows the chef’s restrained touch. And the poundcake with lemon yogurt is the ideal finish—bright and not overly sweet. This version emphasizes the familiarity and reliability of the restaurant while still celebrating the chef’s subtle refinements. Aria inspires us to return to a place that honors favorites while keeping things interesting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The food was great, the service was punctual and professional, and our meal was fine. Right up until we got the bill. It was unpleasant to find they automatically added a 20% service charge for 2 people despite the policy stated on the receipt itself that they only do this for groups of 6 or more. But what ruined this restaurant for me was that they included the Tax in the amount used to calculate the service charge. I'm paying them a service charge to collect tax for the govt? This is not a business practice I'll support, and is the reason I won't be going back.

It has been a few years since dining at Aria - first time was 2002 - this place has only gotten better over time - BTW - straight up - Sandra R made this experience truly special - great personality and suggestions on the food - even on the timing on when each course is brought out - one of the best servers ever - now, back to the food - just really really really good food - watch out though - there are shareable snacks AND starters - over ordering is very possible (this is a good thing, right?) - check out the pictures for the details - atmosphere - really cool design and I love the dark bar area when entering - cool colors and artwork - I 100% recommend Aria, and if you are fortunate, Sandra R will get your table

My husband and I dined here mere hours after our wedding. We were treated like royalty- the customer service was beyond magnificent, and the food was some of the finest I have ever enjoyed. Our server, Molly, was an absolute delight - not only welcoming but her knowledge of the menu was remarkable and she was devoted to making sure my husband and I had a 5 star experience. This was my personal choice, as a new bride, of where I wanted to eat after our wedding. I had never been to Aria before and it exceeded my expectations!!! The aesthetic design that went into the presentation of each dish was particularly impressive. This dining experience was a crowning touch to a magical day that we will always remember.

Busy Bee Cafe

Mentioned on 
+4 other lists 
$$$$affordable
Soul food restaurant
Takeout Restaurant
Established in 1947, Busy Bee Cafe is a beloved Atlanta soul food restaurant known for its traditional Southern dishes and budget-friendly prices. The cafe's daily meat-and-three plates and famous fried chicken have made it a favorite among locals and notable figures like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Oprah Winfrey. Recognized by the James Beard Foundation as an American Classic, Busy Bee Cafe continues to showcase regional specialties with timeless appeal.
I'm giving the food four stars because the fried chicken was good but not exceptional. However, it was later in the day and so maybe it wasn't at its best. BUT, the sides were incredible! So full of flavor! And the service and atmosphere were absolutely spot on. So friendly and authentic Atlanta. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. If you're in Atlanta definitely stop in. Highly recommend.

We were so excited to try Busy Bee but unfortunately our experience was deeply disappointing. We waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food — just one plate and two extra sides — while we watched at least 10 other people come and go with their orders. When our food finally arrived, it was cold and extremely salty. The service was confusing: polite at moments but also sharp and borderline rude. Our drink was forgotten and took another 6 minutes to get, which felt careless given how long we’d already been waiting. When we arrived, we were told to scan a QR code and had the option to order through the website or with the staff member directly. We chose the website and still left a tip, even though all she did was hand us the bag. The inside of the restaurant is closed so you have to wait outside or in your car — which would be fine if the food was prompt and warm. Sadly, it wasn’t. If you’re thinking what I’m thinking — maybe you’re right. Watching so many others served ahead of us for no clear reason left us wondering if there was something more behind it. It’s sad that in 2025, we can still feel so far behind when it comes to how we treat each other. We left feeling like we paid good money just to be treated poorly. So much excitement and money wasted — it honestly felt like we paid to be bullied. I hope this feedback helps them do better, but I can’t recommend Busy Bee based on our experience.

Food was good. I got the pork chops dinner with Mac and cheese and collard greens. Mac and cheese wasn't bad but wasn't good. Collard greens was great as well as pork chops. Wait time was long as we called our order in but waited over 40 minutes for our food. You had to wait outside for your order. It was hot. First time eating here.

My husband and I stopped at Busy Bee to see what the hype was about and I was disappointed. We flew in from Maryland to watch a wonderful play called F Punk at 7 Stages and have lunch. Upon arriving at Busy Bees the host said we are not seating anyone because we are opening a new shop. I was not sure what one had to do with the other but, there was seating outside. So you scan the menu outside and let the host know what you want. After ordering, the wait was about 30 minutes. We start feeling sick sitting outside because the parking lot has new asphalt that had extremely strong toxic smell coming from it. So we moved around until the food came. Finally, the order was here and just in time because it started raining on us. I have to say, the prices do not match the quality of food not one bit. For two meals one fried fish and the other chicken wings it was mediocre at best for a couple of items and just not good for others. The banana pudding was mushy and terrible. I took one bite and threw it away. The wings were too salty and the green were basic. The fried fish and macaroni was ok. The peach cobbler was not good and did not taste fresh but seemed like they use can peaches. Coming to Georgia I would think fresh peaches would be used. This was a waste of $84.00 I am sorry to say. I hate to write this review but, I expected much more!
Christy B — Google review
Wow definitely one of the best fried chicken i have had that doesn’t have any special sauce or anything… Their skin is so so darn well cooked and I can’t really explain. Their chicken is not as juicy as I thought but def not dry at all. Service was amazing we went on a Sat morning they only did takeout only so we just ate outside. Worth coming here if u have layover in ATL or visiting!!
Daniel J — Google review
Came here after watching a YouTube video saying it was the best fried chicken in America so I had to try it. It is very, very good chicken and you should taste it for yourself! Very juicy, crispy, and well seasoned. Would definitely recommend to my friends. Fries were also very good. Wish I liked the Mac and cheese more than I did, but not too bad. It is pickup only and the lady who gave us our food was pleasant.
Sadie P — Google review
I placed a couple of orders online on Monday and arrived about 20 minutes before the expected pickup time. Upon arrival, I headed inside. The dining room was in disarray. The tables were pushed to one side with junk and papers on top of them. I was immediately told to wait outside. Food was sitting in plastic bags on top of one of the tables. So, when I was served about 10 minutes later, the server grabbed a plastic bag off the table. The chicken was sweaty and looked soggy in spots. The vegetables were lukewarm. Perhaps, it’s better to order in the parking lot and wait.
Pat A — Google review
As a tourist in Atlanta, The Busy Bee Café was on my must-visit list—and it didn’t disappoint! The staff were friendly, and waiting outside with locals and delivery drivers added to the charm. The food was incredible—I nearly finished everything in my container, which says a lot since I don’t usually eat half a chicken in one sitting! A true taste of Atlanta and an experience I’m so glad I didn’t miss.

Chops & Lobster Bar

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
$$$$very expensive
Steak house
Chops & Lobster Bar is an old-school chophouse in Atlanta that has been pleasing patrons for over two decades. The restaurant offers a unique two-in-one concept, with Chops featuring a classic dark-wood dining room and Lobster Bar offering an exclusive speakeasy experience downstairs. The menu includes USDA prime aged beef and fresh seafood, with must-try dishes like the A5 Miyazaki wagyu Kobe Japan filet and the famous steamed South African lobsters.
This place is on my top places to eat. My husband and I came here for our 10th anniversary celebration. Service is absolutely impeccable!! The staff is very well trained and are premier professionals. (Ask for Tarik) The manager was very friendly and personable. Would recommend this for any occasion. Every single thing we ate was phenomenal. If our bill was $400 or more we wouldn’t have cared, lol. Everything was delicious and try the octopus app, bread pudding, the Gouda Mac n cheese 🤤. Cannot wait to return!

Excellent fine ding experience. I took my daughter here for their birthday. The restaurant was dimly lit and had a nice ambiance. The hostess was friendly and the wait staff was great. I felt like I had my own personal waiter. The food was amazing. Had the crab cake appetizer and the lobster fritter. For my entree I had the black diamond ribeye with the lobster tail and broccolini. Lobster came fried but opted out for grilled. Rib eye temperature was perfect and it was seasoned to the bone. Lobster was dense and fresh tasting. It was pricey. My daughter and I ran up a $500 dollar bill for the two of us but it was worth it.

There are other fine dining restaurants in ATL and then there is Chops & Lobster Bar. The place looks like it commands order but I wasn’t here to play by the rules. I turned this fine steakhouse into my own personal tapas restaurant because I like to try it all. We started with a Greek salad, then came the octopus, then the fried lobster. And yes, I ordered the mac & cheese because I’m 7. Oh and the no filler brilliant crab cakes. Chops may be for the serious steak crowd, but we got it on track! It’s now headed in the right direction.

We have celebrated so many milestones at Chops Lobster Bar birthdays, anniversaries, you name it and every single time has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment you walk through the door, you sense this is a place where special moments belong. The food is extraordinary. On multiple occasions, I’ve ordered the wagyu steak and lobster (medium well), and each time it was cooked to perfection rich, tender, flavorful, beautifully presented. The seafood is flown in fresh, the cuts of beef are exceptional, and the menu strikes the perfect balance between elegance and indulgence. The service is exquisite. The team is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your experience memorable. One particularly touching moment: for our anniversary, I had flowers delivered ahead of time. The restaurant held them and then arranged to have them brought to our table while we were dining. That sort of personal touch made the evening even more special. Parking is convenient thanks to valet service right out front. While I prefer to rely on the valet to avoid the hassle, you can also find your way via Google Maps it guides you directly to their address in Buckhead. In short: Chops Lobster Bar remains my go-to for celebrating life’s milestones. Whether it’s an anniversary or a birthday, the ambiance, the food, the attention to detail everything comes together perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a truly memorable fine-dining experience.

Everything was good. I had a grilled and fried lobster tail with broccoli and mashed potatoes. Also, I had a crab cake for an appetizer. Waiter forgot to bring me my dine rewards card for October, so I have to call back. I was enjoying my company so much that I forgot to remind him that he did not bring the card out. Will not park valet again. Not happy with service.

Lyla Lila

$$$$affordable
Restaurant
Lyla Lila is an upscale restaurant with a trendy atmosphere that offers a Southern European menu featuring pasta and seafood dishes. Chef Craig Richards showcases his expertise in handmade pasta at this cozy establishment, adorned with unique art and attentive servers. The seasonal menu highlights delectable options such as crispy duck lasagna with cocoa bechamel and corn and rabbit ravioli.
Reservation recommended! Very interesting take on pasta! If you're looking for standard Italian pasta dishes, this may not be the place, but their fusion with different flavors made it a unique dining experience. They offered a different option for the menu, where you could order "appetizer sizes of each pasta, so we ordered several. You could tell the chef's background is fusion. I would come back for sure, although it may seem for some a "tried it, I'm good now" energy. Great service! Great mocktails! Great dessert! I wish we were sat in the main dining room, but my wife and I got a decent intimate corner. Great for a date night for sure.
Sebastian G — Google review
Finally tried Lyla Lila for my birthday recently and enjoyed it thoroughly. For drinks I had the Soul Vaccination which was great and my wife had a tasty mocktail. Started with the Broccoli & Fennel Salad and the Crispy Artichokes, both of which were delicious but we especially enjoyed the Broccoli which was light and refreshing. The Crispy Duck Lasagna was great, although I enjoyed it more than my wife did. We both loved the unique and delicious Ravioli Doppio, just wish it came with more pieces! Finished with the French lemon yogurt cake and the Meyer lemon cheesecake, the latter of which was superb. Enjoyed a glass of cold port as well. Overall great meal with good service and a cool table by the window. The bar area is one of the coolest I’ve seen.

We had an incredible dinner at Lyla Lila. We had the snapper and the wagyu truffle ravioli — both dishes were perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The highlight, however, was the tiramisu — truly one of the best I’ve ever had, even better than many I’ve tried in Italy! Service was warm and professional, and the atmosphere elegant yet relaxed. A must-visit spot in Atlanta for anyone who appreciates refined cuisine and great hospitality. Highly recommended!

We had a great time at Lyla Lila. The space is hip- warm and minimalist with lots of luxurious texture. The curtains close it in so you don't feel so exposed on Peachtree. You're enveloped by the space. I am very appreciative of the beautiful printed menus. Service was excellent- our main server was friendly and not overbearing. Cocktails were delicious and they have a few nice mocktail options. The bread and salad were good. We really liked the butter. The snapper was beautifully presented but needed a touch more salt and a little less peppercorn. We enjoyed the cappeletti and cavatelli. Oh the dessert. That chocolate mousse cake with creme fraiche topping and sprinkles of salt and caramel is where it's at. There's ample bike parking across the street. Looking forward to coming back!

Delectable! I enjoyed my experience here. Tonight was a bunch of firsts for me. Tonight was my first experience eating raw/cold scallops topped with caviar. It had a unique, smoky taste to it. My friend drizzled his scallops with a lemon squeeze and said doing so added an additional delicious element to it. Tonight was also my first time eating raw beef. The Wagyu was prepared deliciously. The artichoke was surprisingly good! My first time ever eating it. The artichoke tasted as if it was soaking in a liquid-y seasoning overnight because it was an explosion of flavor from the initial bite! My Bolognese was well-seasoned to perfection. Yet again, tonight was my first time eating tiramisu. Not a fan. The coffee/dark chocolate taste was too rich and intense for me. But the salt sprinkled on top of the tiramisu had a nice savory surprise to it that was more of an aftertaste for me. My friend ate the duck lasagna, which contained 13 layers. Yes, you guessed it -- it was my first time tasting duck tonight, and I could not handle the flavor. Yuck! But as a true foodie, I will try everything at least once! I had 3 rounds of strawberry French 75s. I was in a European establishment, so why not. Lol. My second round had a piece of black hair floating in the glass. They graciously remade my drink with a fresh replacement. That's the only reason why I didn't award this restaurant 5 stars. Parking isn't all that good with its location. There's a parking garage directly across the street from Lyla Lila. My friend said he paid $8. Thankfully, I escaped from having to pay anything because I found free street parking a block away, which was a 2-minute walk to Lyla Lila. The atmosphere is upscale, peaceful, and cozy. I love that there's a great view of the busy Midtown street from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining room. Would I return? Absolutely! I love eating at unique restaurants that are not part of a franchise.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport

Airport
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is a bustling transportation hub that stands out as one of the busiest airports globally. Nestled in the vibrant city of Atlanta, Georgia, this airport boasts over 200 gates and seven runways, efficiently managing an impressive volume of air traffic. Travelers can enjoy a plethora of amenities, including diverse dining options and retail stores that cater to every taste.
This Hartsfield-Jackson is a massive and well-organized airport. Despite the size, signs are clear and there are plenty of staff around to assist if needed. The trains between terminals are fast and efficient, and the security moves quicker than expected for such a busy airport. There several Food options to choose from, and variety of restaurants and quick bites. The airport is so crowded, because is peak hours, but overall it’s a smooth experience. It’s easy to navigate and connect to other flights. Overall it’s a beautiful experience.
Curry S — Google review
One of the busiest airports in the world, and it definitely feels that way. The airport is very large but surprisingly easy to navigate thanks to the airport train that connects the terminals quickly. Security lines can get long, so it’s best to arrive early, but the process is usually efficient. There are many dining and shopping options spread across the terminals, which makes layovers more comfortable. Everything was clean and well-organized during my visit, and staff were helpful when I needed directions. The downside is the crowding during peak hours, but overall it’s a well-managed airport and one of the smoothest big hubs I’ve used.
David W — Google review
Very impressive airport! I was shocked with the cleanliness in any bathroom I used on two different layovers. There was always at least one restroom attendant wiping counters, checking supplies, directing to open stalls, etc. While the airport is large, we had no problem getting around. Everything is labeled well and easy to find what you’re looking for. When we were confused, we asked an employee who was kind and more than happy to help us. Plenty of food options to choose from, although we felt Concourse A had the best selection. The different displays of art, photos, and cultural information were really enjoyable to take in as we walked from one location to another. Trams are available if needing to move quickly or travel far, but we found walking to be no problem. I’ll definitely choose this as a layover if given the chance again!

I don’t know much about the city of Atlantis. I do, however, know that this is one of the worlds major international transport hubs, being the home of SkyTeam’s codeshare partner Delta Airlines. The US airlines do not have a particularly good reputation, but this is not the place to report that. Atlantis is an epicentre of national and international travel. With 5 runways and 2 terminals consisting of 7 concourses. It is no laughing matter. We did not have a long visit here, and I believe it is certainly possible we may have encountered exciting planes like the B747, though on this visit I did not encounter such planes. The airport shuttle (underground train type vehicle) was fast and efficient, with clear signage (both audio and visual) to direct you to your required terminal. I believe the baggage handling operations are efficient, as the 1h 50 stopover was more than enough time for my bag to safely make the 6 concourse journey with no issues to my knowledge. I would like to know more about baggage handling operations but not enough to look it up, but will eagerly listen if somebody is telling me at some point. I was not detained here so no stars deducted.
Max R — Google review
The busiest airport in whole of USA and for a reason. This airport is so gigantic, the 7-8 concourses are like separate terminals themselves. There are trains that runs between the concourses every few minutes. Each concourse has bunch of restaurants and shops. But sadly all of their passengers go through a single security checkpoint, so I saw humungous lines at security, probably wait time of up to 2 hours. For TSA Pre-check, it was little shorter, about half an hour. The airport is mostly clean and has good directions. The baggage claim for all concourses is in a single area that has about 8 belts. The rental car building is separate from main building. I had to take the sky train to the rental cars building. Thankfully all train riders are free. Being one of the biggest airports in the country, they have several lounges in this airport, including Delta, United and Amex Centurion. Since Atlanta is home of Cocacola, they have several vending machines throughout the airport. My most favorite part of the airport was, seeing multiple planes take-off and land side by side, since the airport has parallel runways.

My layaway was here before I flew out to Rio De Janiero. This is a nice airport and I had some time to walk around for a bit. The first thing I did at the airport is as walk to my connecting gate. I was lucky to have a food court nearby with a McDonald. But since there was a line, I decided to go to TGIF that was nearby. I also stopped by a shop to get some bottle water.
Peter X — Google review
Very family friendly for an airport. Clean, lots of food choices and extremely helpful staff. Lots of staff in general too. I would give it 5 stars but our first plane was delayed because they let another plane stay parked at our gate for an hour and it made us miss other flights.
Amy T — Google review
I recently had a great experience and was genuinely impressed by the facilities and overall atmosphere. The check-in process was quick, and the security staff were professional and courteous. The airport was clean, modern, and had plenty of comfortable seating areas. I appreciated the availability of charging stations at almost every gate, It's definitely one of the better airports I’ve traveled through—efficient, welcoming, and traveler-friendly!
