Visiting Atlanta with 10 year old.

We will be visiting Atlanta this weekend with our 10 year old daughter and would like to find a more causal restaurant that has very good food. She is an adventurous eater and has been to a number of Chow-worthy places. We want to stay away from "family" restaurants.

    Would love to see this post revived - will be spending 24 hours in Atlanta with my 10 yr. old son in July. He too is an adventurous eater (eats everything from sushi to 'Q) and gets frustrated with typical "Kids Menu" fare (frozen pizza, mac & cheese, etc). We are only in town for 24 hours & plan on visiting the aquarium as our main thing to do. Looking for breakfast & lunch spots within walking distance in that area. Also a reco for dinner close to (or at?) the airport would be great!

        Atlanta is a pretty spread out city. Where will you be in town? Since it's just for the weekend, it'd be a shame for you to spend hours in traffic.

          We are staying at the Hotel Melia at 590 West Peachtree Street NW Atlanta. By casual I do mean less formal, someplace with good, interesting and maybe even unique food where we can wear jeans a decent and a decent shirt.

            Miso Izakaya and Sound Table come to mind for not-too-far away with good/funky food. The Porter in Little 5 Points would be a good place for that plus a great beer menu.

              You can walk to Gladys knight chicken and waffles. That's unique for sure.
              Also check out Ecco. You can walk there too.

                The kids in my life love to go to Houston's. And the grownups also enjoy it.

                  Thanks tried Houston's being close to the hotel was a great selling point. We all enjoyed it especially my daughter.

              Guess depends on what you mean by casual....do you mean less formal, or do you want to wear shorts and flip flops?

              If you want to dress a little I would suggest:
              JCT Kitchen
              Local Three

              Also depends about lunch or dinner...other thoughts that are very casual (for dress).
