The City Grill would be an excellent choice. Not ony does it have great food but also a beautiful view of the city. It is pricey but worth it.
 
I used to live in ATL. These places are really good.

Fogo De Chao
3101 Piedmont Road
Atlanta, Georgia 30305
Phone: 404-266-9988

Emeril's
3500 Lenox Rd NE # 100
Atlanta, GA 30326
(404) 564-5600

Morton's (steak) -- Near GA Dome --
SunTrust Plaza Bldg.
303 Peachtree Center Avenue
Atlanta, GA 30308
Phone: 404-577-4366

(Those three are kinda pricey for me but I still enjoyed them. Usually about a bill for 2 people to eat)


As for more common places that are easier on the pocket books, you can't go wrong with any of the Three Dollar cafe locations. They're awesome for food and draft.
 
what kind of food does she like?

as this night is for such a special reason I would suggest finding something unique and memorable.

also what part of town are you staying in?

i would have to second this. the city grill is a very classy establishment and IMO would be a great place for a proposal

oh, and congrats :)
 
Fogo de Chao is UNREAL good. There isn't a better place anywhere I know to get good red meat. The only problem, though, is it's more of a "man land" type place, if you know what I'm saying. I mean, women eat there, of course, but it's not extremely romantic. It's bloody red meat going around on skewers, which I like!

Emeril's shut down in May, so that's a no go. And I'd rather eat a steak from the Golden Corral than Morton's. Long story, but their steak just isn't up to par with other steak joints.

Bone's in Buckhead is really good. Stoney River in Roswell is really good as well.

Honestly, there are tons of good eatery's in the ATL. You'll find plenty of good ones in Buckhead and Midtown. Shoot, go downtown and eat at Ruth's Chris. Can never go wrong there.
 
the sundial....its a rotating restaurant ontop of the westin hotel, great over view of the entire city. also has light live jaz. four star.
 
I enjoyed the Sun Dial when I stayed at the Peach Tree.

If all else fails, go to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles:biggrin:

Emeril's is no longer.
 
Every tourist to Atlanta should visit Aunt Pittypat's Porch. It's like dining in a Gone With The Wind setting and it is a shameless tourist trap but the food is decent, ambiance is excellent and the prices a little too high but go just to say you have been there. You get cornbread served in a cast iron skillet, there is syrup on the table, all the dishes are southern style (well sort of) and the few times I have eat there it was pretty good. The pecan crusted fried catfish are pretty good for an appetizer and I recommend the venison stew which is also served in a cast iron pot with cornbread crust like a pot pie. They have a drink there called a "Leg breaker" that is quite interesting and I think the limit is 2 per customer.

Be aware this isn't grandma's kitchen cooking but I recommend the place as a novelty and a decent meal. Bring plenty of money. :)

its a sad day when the meat and three turns into a sucker's bet ;)

there is a lot of "new southern" (or whatever they call it now) cuisine around atlanta where you end up paying $25-$30 for fried chicken and grits. granted the fried chicken and grits each have an extra five adjectives, but its still chicken and grits.

yankees will waste their money on anything, especially if you tell them the grits are fresh picked off of the grits bush out back ;)
 
Easy. Rathbun's

The food there is awesome (not cheap but worth it). It's considered modern American. Food critic's rate it as one of the top restaurants in ATL, and I'd have too agree. I'm not sure if you can get reservations on short notice. The time's I've been, I've called a month in advance.
