- BBrandonNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoGreat atmosphere! Our waiter was top notch and very knowledgeable! However, the food was just ok. Definitely not worth $300 for two people! Also, be very aware of your surroundings as this isn't the best area. You have to park a good ways away and walk to the restaurant and I did not feel comfortable which that’s not something that the restaurant can help!More infoRay's in the CityPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Downtown•4.6
- GGregoryPhiladelphia County •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe had an amazing time! The decor, the view, the elegance, the service was all spectacular! When you arrive to the elevator up , you are warnly greated by a hostess. Once you arrive upstairs, you are once again greated by a warm friendly smile. Once seated the people that serve are all warm and friendly. They made our visit truly unforgettable. We were dining with 2 children 6, 12. They made us all feel like we were family. The highlight of the visit was the waitress. I cannot remember her name, she had curly hair and siad she worked there for 41 years. What an amazing asset to this restaurant. She was entertaining, friendly, funny and really good at what she does! We will return just to see her! The food was PHENOMENAL. We ordered the filet mignion which was delicious. My wife ordered the Keto dish and left the plate empty. The kids ordered pizza, and us being native New Yorkers were amazed how good it tasted! We will be returning for sure. Yes the price was rather high but worth every penny!More infoThe Sun Dial Restaurant, Bar & ViewPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.3
- JJeffTampa / Central Florida West •27 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe were celebrating a birthday dinner at AG and had a wonderful experience. Since this is a restaurant affiliated with a higher end hotel, we certainly had expectations that it would be a good experience. The food was excellent, but what truly makes the experience is the service. Our server, Vangel, was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. He was outstanding and we enjoyed the entire experience.More infoAG, Modern Bar and SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.6

The Best Places to Grab a Drink in Atlanta This Summer
Though you won’t catch a local calling this city “Hotlanta,” there’s a good reason it earned that nickname—and it’s not just because of the muggy weather. Atlanta is a hotbed of exciting bars, consisting of laidback dens and sceney haunts. From lounges with award-winning cocktail programs and wine lists to taprooms with beers brewed on the premises, here are some of the bars most beloved by Atlantans.
Discover Downtown
Atlanta natives are hiding some secrets. Their beloved pimiento cheese, the pâté of the South, was invented in New York.[1] Can anyone prove that the first batch of fried green tomatoes was whipped up in Atlanta?[2] There are far more peanuts grown in Georgia than peaches[3], and frying was a West African innovation rather than a Southern one.[2] Traditional favorites still satisfy, but the Atlanta dining scene is enjoying more global influence than ever before. Buford Highway, which runs through the center of town, boasts 20 separate international communities.[4] As a result, you’re just as likely to find snow crab chawanmushi or mughlai paratha on the menu as shrimp and grits or fatback-fried catfish. Whatever you sink your teeth into, it will be served up with homey Southern hospitality.
