Atlas Buckhead

Since the lights are low, you can only pick up the smell of old money when you walk into this upscale spot in the St. Regis Hotel in Buckhead. Dinner here is an experience, beginning with the presentation of an iPad containing info about all of the artwork in the room (so if dinner at the Louvre is on your bucket list, eating caviar in the presence of a Picasso, Van Gogh, or Matisse is cool second). Because we like choices when we’re putting down big bucks, we’re happy that Atlas offers an a la carte menu and a $250 eight-course tasting menu. Neither option is the wrong choice, but make sure you’re getting a bite of the creamy black truffle gnocchi and tender Westholme filet.
