Date Ideas

The Buckhead institution. A tasting menu or à la carte — either way, unhurried and excellent.

If the evening is going well, extend it. The city below, a final drink, no rush. For more detail, see how to plan a Buckhead date night.

Culture gives you built-in talking points. Neither of you has to perform — you're both just experiencing something.

One of Atlanta's most celebrated restaurants. Smart-casual ambiance, exceptional wine list.

A second wind or a natural close. Either way, low-stakes and genuinely good coffee.

Mediterranean, candlelit, and consistently excellent. The terrace itself is a date.

The park at night is quiet, lit, and genuinely beautiful. A good close to a good evening.
