Have you ever tried Hal's steakhouse in Buckhead? Puts Ruths Chris to shame. The Filet is bigger than your fist. And they have a bone in rib-eye the size of a plate.

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

It has been a few years, but Bones' filet is/was fantastic.

Many of the restaurants mentioned so far are fairly traditional, and if that's what you want, go for it. If super-traditional is what you're looking for, also add Anthony's to your list. Very southern in style and hospitality. 1980s in terms of high-style food. I highly recommend Floataway cafe near Emory University. Very modern, yet still romantic, and excellent food. Also consider Watershed in Decatur. Food is award-winning, yet atmosphere is not intimidating and is more casual (maybe too casual for the event). South City Kitchen on the west side of Midtown is also award winning, but a little loud. The Inn at Vinings, while a little boring on the food side, may work well for romance. I would avoid Bone's (while excellent). It's more of a men's club. Sundial is interesting because of the rotating floor, but it's very "touristy". I vote Floataway.

Congrats!

Consider Kyma in Buckhead for some great greek food. I guess it all kinda depends on your preference though. Here's the link to Kyma along with all the other Buckhead Life Restaurants. They're all very good and this link shows you photos and food descriptions, etc. Others I would recommend would be Chops and Nava.

The choices in this town are endless.

For Steakhouses take your pick:

Bones in Buckhead
Chops in Buckhead
NY Prime in Buckhead
Mortons in Buckhead
-These will all run you $150+.

Fogo de Chao is wonderful but is a true Brazilian all you can eat steakhouse. Not the best place to pop the question.

For ambience, Hals, City Grille, the restaurant on top of Peachtree Plaza (downtown), and Rathburns are all good choices. Rathburns is in a "transitional" part of town and while it will look a little scary its really not. Also, Rathburns is very popular and the atmosphere is not what I would call intimate.

If it were me, I would try to get a table at City Grille close to the window with a view. It's unique and the food is excellent.

The Palm is another excellent choice and if you really want to wow her the Ritz Dining room will more than take care of you.

Good Luck!

Bones is a great place. Its worth the time. :BigA:

 

[TDBama78]

Canoe on paces ferry rd is a good place

 

[RT3413]

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.

Bingo.

If you want steak, go to his steak place (creatively named "Kevin Rathbun Steak"). But good luck getting a res at either of his places now. But beware - both places are loud and not romantic.

Also, a nice thing would be The Atlanta Grill at the Ritz Carlton downtown. Not nearly as expensive as it sounds. Ask for The Cheaters Booth - it's a corner booth with a big thick velvet curtain - has an heavy air of romance. Also it's not widely known so it doesn't get too awfully crowded.

For phenomenal food, I'd go with Bacchanalia. Best food in town, bar none. Just named to the top of the Zagat list for the umpteenth year in a row. Same price tier as Rathbuns but more romantic. If money's NO object you could go with their ultra-chic and ultra-quiet (and ultra-expensive) sister restaurant Quinones by Bacchanalia. (fyi - starprovisions.com)

I'd stick with the romantic places - and stay out of Buckhead. My wife (who is with me now) also thinks Bacchanalia. Good luck!!!

Bones is good, I agree--best steakhouse in ATL

Rathbun's is good, I agree--not been to his steakhouse

Canoe is good, not great, but an awesome scene there on the river, could be a good proposal spot (btw you should have put more thought into this )

Restaurant Eugene is good

Bacchanalia and Floataway Cafe are good

 

[BamaJama17]

Dang you beat me to it!!! lol Thats a great fast-food restraunt to eat at!!! I love it to death!!! YUM YUM YUM!!!:biggrin:

Fire of Brazil.

Considering the occasion, I would go with the following:

The Vinings Inn - http://www.viningsinn.com/ converted old house with great atmosphere

Hal's on Old Ivy - http://www.hals.net/ Atlanta institution with best steak in town, also with good atmosphere

Bacchanalia - http://www.starprovisions.com/ considered one of Atlanta's best and the prices reflect it.

Congratulations and good luck!!

Highly recommended!!

And congrats 711!!!

Emeril's has closed in Buckhead. Rusan's in Buckhead is great for Saki Bombs and Sushi, as well as the Atlanta Fish Market. By far the best type of seafood in the city. You could wow her on this weekend and go to Morton's-the Steakhouse or Fleming's near Perimeter Mall in Dunwoody. Asking a girl to marry you aside, I suggest going to STATS sometime while you are here. It is an amazing sports bar owned by 790 the Zone and even has beer taps at your own table and a rooftop bar overlooking the dome, city, etc...

This. Best steak I've had that doesn't break bank.

If you want an upscale sports restaurant type atmosphere, check out Stats. It's by the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coke. The major downside is that it is likely to be packed on Friday and Saturday so you likely won't get to sit at one of the beertap tables.

 

[RLLTIDE711]

Chops in Buckhead $$$ but very good.
