Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Marietta

Our fave for special occasions has become a staple in our area. We celebrated two birthdays this evening. Great food, great bar, great ambiance. Got seated late for our reservation due to previous guests running late but drinks at the bar were good and hostess came to get us when table was ready. Pasta dishes are outstanding and starters were a big hit. Love Capers!

Always a great experience at the Americano! We checked out their winter chalet which has tasty drinks and yummy bites. Our family comes to the Americano often for some delicious meals!

I visited for lunch to celebrate 1) St. Cecilia’s feast day in the Catholic Church and 2) the publication of my first book. I noted these in the comments of my reservation and they added “Congratulations” to my paper menu! It was a lovely touch. The server suggested champagne and made a few food recommendations, which were delicious! Great experience!

Caleb was phenomenal. Unobtrusive, but still very present. If you want to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed, come early. Coursing was perfect after we asked to slow it down. Value has slightly declined, but Umi will always be a favorite in Atlanta. A5 Wagyu Roll was a complete miss this time, but everything else was phenomenal. The Otoro Caviar is a must try!

The food and the service are consistently outstanding! Monday night's Shrimp and Grits special is fabulous, and the donuts with blueberry glaze are delicious.
