8 new american rooms in Atlanta we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Atlanta | New American across every city.
New American cooking is where Atlanta's fine dining ambition concentrates, and Buckhead and West Midtown hold most of the marquee rooms. Bacchanalia in West Midtown remains the city's reference-point tasting destination, while Atlas and Aria in Buckhead offer two distinct takes on polished, seasonal American cooking. At the other end, Octopus Bar in East Atlanta Village runs a late-night, irreverent version of the same impulse.
