Atlanta: looking for something good north of the city

[csbernard]

Does anyone know what the best restaurants along GA 400 are? Any cuisine is fine.

I agree with Bistro VG, 5 Season, AND Sushi Nami.

Sushi Nami is a wonderful hidden jem that has fantastic sushi. Scott is a funny, knowledgeable, and highly skilled sushi chef.

Bistro VG is great and some may call it fine dining, but I want to stress it is by no means an elitist dining experience. The food is wonderful though, don't get me wrong. The cuisine is very approachable and the atmosphere is somewhat refined but you would feel comfortable in nice jeans and a nice shirt.

5 Seasons is a brew pub and it has some of the best local beer around. It is far beyond your usual french fries and hot wings bar though. If I'm not mistaken, they have been rated among the top 50 restaurants in the city. I'll echo what jboeke said.

5 Season's Brewing is at Roswell Rd. & 285, just West of 400. As you may have guessed, they brew their own beer, but they also offer a fantastic menu of seafood and meat using local, seasonal ingredients.

There is a second location of 5 Season's Brewing on Old Milton Parkway (GA 400 Exit 10).

For sushi, we love Sushi Nami on Windward Parkway (GA 400 Exit 11).

Bistro VG for fine dining

KC Pit BBQ and The Brickery, both on Roswell Road in Sandy Springs are worth a visit. Carniceria San Miguel, on Holcomb Bridge at the first light west of GA 400 (SE corner in shopping center) has great tortas (sandwiches).
