Ruth's Chris Steakhouse Atlanta, GA

This Buckhead steakhouse has been named the Best Restaurant in the United States by the Robb Report. Where Atlanta dubbed Ruth's Chris, "Atlanta's Most Memorable Meal," and the elegant, clubbish feel of the bar and dining room is part of the reason. High ceilings, dim light, and impeccable service create a decadent dining experience. The beef is expensive and worth it, from the tender filet mignon to the dazzling porterhouse. Great sides and sinfully chocolate desserts come in servings large enough to share, and should also be sampled. Full bar.
