Customer Reviews

A reliable and very useful guide.

If you live in the greater Atlanta Area or are coming to visit for a while then this guide will serve you well. In the sprawling metropolitan area of Atlanta there are well over two thousand restaurants and Zagat has whittled these down to the best 722. I have used the guide often and found that it accurately scores each restaurant in three categories (food, decor, service). Perfection is "30". The Ritz-Carlton Dining Room, Buckhead scored 28food, 27decor, 28service . . . the highest score in Atlanta. Of course near perfection will cost you: $150-$200 for two, without wine. What is new in this edition is that it has included more restaurants that were on the fringe of the Atlanta area. The guide has no maps to speak of and this is a serious short coming. The short description of the restaurants is often generalized and talks more about the location than the food, i.e. "Interesting cuisine, complimented by killer margaritas; the convenient strip-mall location and a great balcony overlooking the neighborhood.". After 25 years Zagat has become a well known and respected guide for good restaurants, but it needs a fresh make-over, and, especially, Zagat needs maps to help you locate restaurants in sprawling metropolitan areas, like Atlanta. Still, strongly recommended.
