Much like the city itself, many of its institutions are repositioning themselves as Atlanta status — bouyed by its international airport — climbs up the ranks as a global city.

Sear bills itself as a fire-inspired steakhouse, but it is much, much more. The full-service restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
What’s on the menu at Sear?
For lunch, there’s Spicy Fried Chicken and Blackened Fish. The dinner menu has such favorites as Stone Mountain Pecan Grouper, Pan Seared Diver Scallops and Cauliflower Steak.

For dessert, I had the cheesecake, which was a ideal finale for a hearty meal in the upscale Atlanta restaurant.
