    In this article, we’re going to show you the most fancy places to eat in Atlanta. These are those “special occasion” restaurants where rings and things can appear.

    The Ashford in Brookhaven is a chef-driven concept from chef and restaurateur Randy Lewis. The restaurant has a quiet ambiance that punctuates its inspired dishes and menu, which leans heavily on Georgia ingredients.

    Here’s what one reviewer says about The Ashford. “Very tasty drinks, small plates and entrees. Really enjoyed the unique flavors. Fun bar area, and patio space. You can go for drinks/apps and eat enough to fill you for dinner. A lot of choices on small plates and I enjoy being able to try several different things. I tried the fondue with pears and ricotta olive spread which was amazing, ate it too fast to take a pic. Loved the salad dressing and the meatball – especially the sauce on it!!! The short rib paired so well with onion and mushrooms. Dessert was a rich and delicious dark chocolate pot de crème, perfect for sharing. I’ll be back soon, so many more things to try.”

    Atlas

    88 W Paces Ferry Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30305 | (404) 600-6471

    Atlas restaurant in Atlanta

    One of the most inviting culinary atmosphere in all of Atlanta, Atlas is a place you definitely want to try. Located in the Regis Hotel in Buckhead, Atlas is an elegant choice with excellent service and a top-notch ambiance.

    Here’s what one customer says about Atlas. “Beautiful and elegant is the simple way to describe Atlas. I loved the selection of wine and champagne. The service was good. The ambiance was very romantic and relaxing. The food taste and presentation was perfect. There was a slight mix up with the server asking if we wanted another drink from the menu or something, but we bought a bottle of champagne so all the server had to do was replenish our glasses from the champagne bottle. I forgot to get my ticket validated so instead of 15 for valet parking it was 25. Still not bad for Atlanta parking.”

    Bones

    3130 Piedmont Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30305  (404) 237-2663

    best steakhouses in Atlanta - Atlanta Restaurant Makes OpenTable's 100 Best Restaurants for Wine Lovers in America

    Bones is one of the best steakhouses that Atlanta has ever had. With that being said, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the stellar seafood the menu.

    Here’s what one reviewer says about Bones. “Great food! Great service! One of my favorite steak houses. I love a good lobster bisque and with Bones you can taste the sherry. The baby octopus salad with sherry was incredible. The sherry vinaigrette was light and flavorful. I am very particular about octopus and I can say the octopus here is one of my favorites. The bone in rib-eye was marbled nicely and had lots of flavor. If you haven’t been you must visit.”

    Canoe

    4199 Paces Ferry Rd SE, Atlanta, GA 30339 | (770) 432-2663

    Canoe is one of the best restaurants in Atlanta

Excellent vibe, fantastic food, best Manhattan I’ve ever had, love being by the water and out waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and products. I rate 5 stars when establishments meet my every day expectations but places like this make me want to rate every days a 3 so my 5’s are super special. Having been to many higher end restaurants, I can tell you this is a top for me country wide.”

    Chops Lobster Bar

    70 West Paces Ferry Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30305  (404) 262-2675

    Chops lobster bar in Atlanta

    Another steakhouse makes our list. Chops is a Buckhead favorite and perfect for an anniversary dinner or even for the bride and groom.

    Here’s what one reviewer says about Chops: “Went here on a work dinner and it was really good. The table ordered the cold seafood appetizer which is HUGE, I liked everything on it but the oysters (I won’t touch those things). I was in the mood for chicken so that’s what I ordered and the rest of the table ordered steak. Everyone enjoyed their meals and their drinks. It’s definitely a pricey place so it’s not a place we can frequent often, but if you can, it’s worth it.”

    Oceanaire Seafood Room

    1100 Peachtree St, Atlanta, GA 30309 | (404) 475-2277

    Oceanaire is one of the best restaurants in Midtown Atlanta

    Here’s what one reviewer says about Oceanaire: “I’ve always loved Oceannaire. It’s an old school, high quality dining establishment with great seafood. The service is always fantastic. I’ve only given it four stars as the prices are very high, so the value just doesn’t equate. That being said, I love the atmosphere and food and it’s one of my go-to splurge places.”

    AG (Ritz-Carlton)

    181 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30303 | (404) 221-6550

    AG is one of the best restaurants in Atlanta, Georgia

    914 Howell Mill Rd, Atlanta, GA 30318 | (404) 477-6260

    The Optimist is one of the most fancy restaurants in Atlanta

    The Optimist has made its name by serving some opulent dishes, including some of the best seafod you’ll find in the city.

    The Palm

    The Palm restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia

    The Palm is located inside the Westin hotel in the Buckhead district of Atlanta. The food continues to get rave reviews for locals and visitors alike.

    Here’s what one reviewer says about The Palm: “I Am Shocked That As A Georgia Native, I Am Just Now Discovering The Palm Restaurant. The Atmosphere, The Cuisine, And Most Importantly, The Guest Service Were Remarkably Executed. From The Warm Greeting At The Reservation Podium To The Final Course Of Flourless Chocolate Cake, This Was Truly A Gift Unto Myself. Be Mindful, This Is Upscale Dining So Expect The Prices And Service To Match. I Look Forward To Returning To This Gem Of Buckhead.”

  • Where to get the best headshots in Atlanta

    Where To Get Great Headshots In Atlanta

    3 Min Read

    One of the key things in you in show business is a winning headshot — and in Atlanta, there are several places to choose from. This article will show you some of the best places to get headshots in Atlanta.

    You may be wondering where to get a good headshot for acting, and that’s a good question. But you may be wondering this: Can you take your own headshots for acting?

    Can You Take Your Own Headshots For Acting?

    if you have a smartphone that takes good photos, you can take your own headshots for acting or other aspects of the business. The question you need to ask yourself is whether you consider yourself a professional photographer.

    Professional photographers are highly skilled at taking photos that look high quality. You can try to take headshots yourself, but you may find yourself wasting a lot of time and effort.

    Some things you’ll want to make sure of if you do decide to take your own photos is to:

    • Take multiple shots
    • Make sure your lighting is right
    • Take multiple pictures but always smile

    What Should You Wear For Headshots?

    One thing you always need to consider is how to dress when you take a headshot. Because the photos will be in black and white, you may need to wear dark-colored shirts.

    Mix it up a bit by wearing light-colored shirts, including white and other pastel colors.

    How Much Does It Cost To Get Headshots?

    If you want to opt for a professional photographer for headshots, it’s going to cost money. The cost of some headshots can range between $75 to around $500.

    In Atlanta, the average price of some headshots is about $250, although you can get some done for as low as $125, but the quantities will be low.

    Now let’s go over some good places to get headshots in Atlanta.

    Where To Get Headshots For Acting

    • Headshots Atlanta: 1012 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30309 | (404) 892-3533
    • CK Headshots Atlanta: (704) 608-3006
    • Happy Hour Headshot Atlanta: 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30308 |  (720) 306-7404
    • Hollywood Headshots: 2849 Piedmont Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30305 | (404) 500-6413
    • Corporate Headshots Atlanta: 3365 Piedmont Rd NE #1400, Atlanta, GA 30305 |  (770) 953-1719
    • Buckhead Studio Photography: Peachtree Road Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30326 |  (404) 462-2385
    • Atlanta Photographer Kris Janovitz: 3355 Lenox Rd NE #750, Atlanta, GA 30326 | (770) 570-9661
    • Robert Kim Photography:  3833 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30319 | (212) 645-5788

    Do Your Headshots Be Black And White?

    Back in the day, most actors only took black and white headshots. The reason was because if you were a struggling actor, it cost money to hire a professional photographer. That’s not so much the case today.

    Yes, actors are still struggling, but the rise of smartphones with great cameras has made color headshots a popular option. 

    If you’re unsure of which way to go, choose both color and black-and-white photos for headshots. That way, you can give producers options.

    Last Words

    If you want to get into the acting business, you need to have professional headshots so that your credentials can circulate throughout the industry.

  • Chick-fil-A’s Banana Pudding Milkshake Is Back

    2 Min Read

    The Banana Pudding Milkshake and Banana Frosted Coffee have made their triumphant returns to participating Chick-fil-A restaurants nationwide, including in Atlanta, Georgia.

    For the banana pudding milkshake, it’s a re-introduction that hadn’t been seen in over a decade.

    You can order the sweet treats from August 26 through November 16, 2024, while supplies last. Customers can also grab these treats for pickup or delivery; however, delivery orders will come with a flat lid and will not include whipped cream or cherry toppings.

    What Are the Banana Pudding Treats?

    Banana Pudding Milkshake: This limited-time, hand-spun milkshake features Chick-fil-A’s signature Icedream® dessert blended with banana and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles, topped with whipped cream and a cherry (except for delivery orders).

    Banana Frosted Coffee: A hand-spun drink combining a custom cold-brew blend with Icedream® dessert, mixed with banana and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles, available for a limited time.

    The Banana Pudding Milkshake is a seasonal treat, available for a limited time while supplies last. Hand-spun the classic way, it combines Chick-fil-A® Icedream® with banana and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles, and is topped with whipped cream and a cherry (note: the cherry is not included for delivery orders).

    Where To Get the Banana Pudding Milkshake

    The Banana Pudding Milkshake as well as the Banana Frosted Coffee are available for dine-in, pickup, and delivery at select locations while supplies last. Check out this list of Chick-fil-As in Atlanta.

    Unfortunately, they are not available for catering. You can redeem these treats with Chick-fil-A One® points and continue earning points on the rest of your purchased.
