"Often called the city's best restaurant, Bacchanalia has been a destination since it opened in Buckhead in 1993." Full review
Frommer's Frommer's
"Bacchanalia's edgy and sophisticated space in a meatpacking plant on the outskirts of an industrial area takes first-time diners aback, but just for a second." Full review

"Since 1993, partner chefs Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison have drawn raves for their seasonally changing, all-organic menus—often using produce grown on their own organic farm." Full review
BlackBook BlackBook
"Chef-owners Clifford Harrison and Anne Quatrano pluck many ingredients from their own farm. Ultra-fresh fish, broad cheese selection, killer wine list and attentive service."

"For traditional Southern food—fried chicken, ham steak, and turkey with dressing—insiders head to Colonnade, a local institution since 1927 and a magnet for gay men and the elderly." Full review
Frommer's Frommer's
"This Atlanta institution, established in 1927, serves authentic southern specialties without any newfangled twists (thank goodness)." Full review

"“Cheap” tabs, “seriously high-octane potables” and an experience that’s “like nothing else in Atlanta.”" Full review

"Clubbers, bouffant-bearing ladies, and gay seniors make up a portion of the eclectic clientele. Old-fashioned faves like lima beans, okra, and fried chicken prevail."

"The Colonnade serves some of the region's best fried chicken... and yeast rolls, the latter a rapidly disappearing Southern treat." Full review
