Best Southern Fine Dining:
NEW

Empire State South
Best Non-Traditional Southern
Fare http://www.empirestatesouth.com/

Smart, smart restaurant, this
Empire State South. Open since
late August on the ground floor of
the 999 Peachtree building in
Midtown, it manages to dish up its
thoughtfulness in every detail. Love that front table laden with
pastries to go (everyone takes a cakewalk around it). Love the way
the menu references an old-school meat-and-three. Love the
varietal coffee drinks. Love the bocce court!

Hugh Acheson is the chef/partner of Empire State South.
Acheson is a four-time James Beard Foundation nominee
and chef/partner of the lauded Five & Ten, The National and
Gosford Wine in Athens, GA.

Dogwood Restaurant http://www.dogwoodrestaurant.com/

Fusing elegance, sophistication and stellar regional cuisine,

their first restaurant, Dogwood. Located in Midtown, on the ground
floor of the Reynolds condominium building, Dogwood defies the
notion that Southern culinary traditions cannot demonstrate
complexity or refinement. "Dogwood brings the warmth and charm of
our Southern culture along with the intricacies of big city dining to
Atlanta's most celebrated street."

Welcome to Atlanta and Please Enjoy!

Anis Café and Bistro http://www.anisbistro.com/

In the years since its inception, Anis has managed to retain its warm and cozy atmosphere, but is always
adding to the look and feel of the restaurant in many ways. The outdoor patio is one of Atlanta's favorite, the
decor is ever changing, but most importantly, the food is what keeps people coming back for more.
Recommend making reservations first!

" Anis is a true Atlanta jewel. The food is superb and
the atmosphere is authentic and very romantic. You
truly feel as though you are in a bistro or cafe in the
South of France. The moules frites taste as though
you ordered them in a Parisian bistro. The food and
