Updated January 24, 2024
Atlantans know that romantic restaurants keep a flame good and hot. First dates get a kitschy tiki haven in a hotel basement. For peak privacy, there’s a decades-old steakhouse with curtained alcoves. And if you’re ringing in a special anniversary, head straight to a Mexican hotspot with a scenic rooftop bar.
This guide pairs Atlanta restaurants with romantic occasions from first dates all the way to milestone anniversaries. These are Atlanta’s 12 best date-night restaurants.
