All rights reserved.525The Glenn is located in downtown Atlanta at the intersection of Marietta and Spring Street. It's the "true" downtown boutique hotel with plenty of amenities including plasma televisions, wi-fi, and MP3 connections. All of the rooms are non-smoking and well designed. You will love the rooftop bar with amazing views of the Atlanta skyline. The CNN Center, Philips Arena, Georgia Dome, Georgia World Congress Center, Centennial Olympic Park, Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coke are all within walking distance or a very quick cab (for the lazy visitor).

No need to insert lame Sopranos joke but the place is totally legit and would qualify as one of the best overall restaurant selections in town. If you have high expectations for fine Italian dining, we are confident this selection will meet and exceed those. Hours of Operation: Mon-Sat 5:45pm-10pm http://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/restaurants/best-italian-food/la-grotta/http://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/restaurants/best-italian-food/la-grotta/rss/Kevin Rathbun is quickly becoming the most well known chef in town if he is not already and this is his crown jewel. The guy looks like a chef and recently kicked the crap out of the Iron Chef on TV. This restaurant changed the whole economy in the neighborhood and it is now a trendy spot to live, eat, and hang out. He could have a future in politics. Hours of Operation: Mon-Thu 5:30pm-10:30pm Fri-Sat 5:30pm-11:30pm http://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/restaurants/best-fine-dining-general/rathbuns/http://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/restaurants/best-fine-dining-general/rathbuns/rss/Lobster Bar is the standard for seafood restaurants in Atlanta located right in the heart of Buckhead. Everything is done to perfection and this could be one of the finest restaurants in Atlanta, depending on who you ask. If you are not in the mood for seafood, you can order off the menu from Chops (upstairs) and have a steak. Hours of Operation: Mon-Thu 11:30am-2:30pm, 5:30pm-11pm Fri 11:30am-2:30pm, 5:30pm-12am Sat 5:30pm-12am Sun 5:30pm-11pm http://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/restaurants/best-seafood/lobster-bar/http://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/restaurants/best-seafood/lobster-bar/rss/Not only is this place the best Greek food in town, it is also one of the best seafood choices in Atlanta. The restaurant has a contemporary look and feel, and the food is outstanding. This is one of those places that it is just hard to find flaws with. The fish is fresh and delicious and the lamb is hard to pass on. It has all of the authentic Greek dishes you are looking for too! We recommend ordering a variety and sharing. http://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/restaurants/best-other-ethnic-food/kyma-greek/http://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/restaurants/best-other-ethnic-food/kyma-greek/rss/Some people may disagree with this selection at #1, but we don't really care what the former executive chef turned editor at such and such magazine says! We are not cashing checks from any of these places and none of our meals have been comped. This place is a little small and dark and sometimes can be a little noisy, but the steak is incredible. Make sure to valet your car because the parking situation is a little strange and towing/booting is strictly enforced. Hours of Operation: Mon-Sat 5:30pm-11pm http://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/restaurants/best-steak/hals/http://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/restaurants/best-steak/hals/rss/Opera is one of the best (and only) true clubs in Atlanta. The upstairs VIP area has great Opera-style boxes that overlook the dance floor. There is an outdoor area with VIP cabanas if you want to go chat with the person who has been making eye contact or grinding with you all night. Private bathrooms so you don't have to worry about stage fright or someone staring at your package...or if you just need some privacy. Hours of Operation: Fri 10pm-4am Sat 10pm-3amhttp://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/bars-clubs/best-club/opera/http://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/bars-clubs/best-club/opera/rss/East Andrews is consistently one of the best bars in Atlanta and has been for years. There are more good looking singles in the courtyard than in the rest of Buckhead. Some people get sick and tired of going there and complain when you suggest it... ditch them and find new friends. People that don't like East Andrews are anti-fun and asexual, therefore cannot be trusted. Open Thur-Sat 5pm-2:30pmhttp://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/bars-clubs/best-singles-scene-bar-club/east-andrews/http://www.sneakysunday.com/atlanta/bars-clubs/best-singles-scene-bar-club/east-andrews/rss/Halo is best known for its Monday nights and is also one of the more popular weekend spots in Midtown. It's definitely one of the coolest lounges in Atlanta and has great atmosphere and music. Very modern, chic, trendy place and each experience will have its own story.

It should go without saying you will need a reservation and the place is completely top notch from the second you walk in the door. We are not going to insult the chef(s) by pretending to talk about this or that being infused with some ingredient, just know the place is top-notch. Many people would argue this is the best overall restaurant Atlanta has to offer.

They also have one of the best late-night food selections and late night crowds in Buckhead. During football season this has one of the most crowded Monday night happy hours. Any time there is a big sporting event the same applies. The idea of Sneaky Sunday spawned from a set of bar stools outside, no statue yet to commemorate this monumental occasion but we are told one is on the way.

Novels line the shelves, the "fireplace" welcomes you inside, and the relaxed bar staff is very friendly. The Bookhouse Pub features 15 fantastic beers on draft and yummy comfort food. Indulge in friend mac n' cheese, collard green egg rolls and the juicy roast chicken or veggie plate. Plus, who doesn't love a real funnel cake for dessert?!

This is the first Kimpton property in Atlanta and it should make the folks at the corporate headquarters pretty happy. They have a great restaurant and rooftop bar and the rooms are fantastic.

The space is relatively small but upscale and sharp looking. The menu is small but offers enough selection to keep everyone happy and the food is outstanding. Everything on the menu is fairly priced and this may be the best dining out value in Buckhead.

The decor is very impressive and they probably have the nicest bathrooms of any restaurant we have seen. Everything from the appetizers to dessert are impeccable. The presentation makes you feel ashamed to actually eat the food. We recommend trying the blue plate for an appetizer and any of the seafood dishes for an entree. Or you could just order for yourself like a grown-up.
