Restaurants near Chinatown Shopping Center

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!

How is the best quality is never second. Atlanta is a growing Nobu. That is my favorite stop when I’m there.

First visit to Bistro Nico. I’m a business traveller so usually sit at the bar, which I did here too. Service was a bit rushed, but you’re competing for the bartenders’ attention so it’s almost to be expected. Had the duck confit appetizer and the pork chop entree. Both were to die for. I’m already thinking about my next trip to Atlanta so I can have that again. Food came out quickly too, which is nice. Ambiance was good, Christmas decor is over the top, but not in a bad way. Do the valet parking, it’s much cheaper than self parking. Restaurant is well worth a visit.

A wonderful experience start to finish. The Wagyu starter was out of this world. A true highlight off menu feature. Terrific presentation; unique without overpowering what A5 brings of its own. Ribeyes were just right. Many places in Atlanta have good food — Amber was taking great care of us and is a true professional. She made the experience. Well done all around.

Me and a friend decided to dine here for dinner and I’m so happy that we did! The ambiance is classy and lively. The food is top notch, prepared to perfection, and delicious. We ordered a few of the starters (wagyu meatballs, baked oysters, and crab claws) that were magnificent, followed by dinner plates that blew our minds. Definitely a 10 out of 10!!
