Restaurant reco near Chastain Park in Atlanta?

October 16, 2015 6:30 AM

My wife and I are headed to Chastain Park to see Mark Knopfler next Saturday. Can anyone recommend a restaurant on that side of town? It could be really high end but if it's just cool, that's cool too. We're beer fans and have no food restrictions. Thanks!

Best answer: Within walking distance of Chastain Park amphitheater, there's Horseradish Grill. Bartaco, an upscale taqueria is close by too.

North of Chastain Park (a short drive), there's 5 Seasons Brewing.

To the South you have Buckhead. Lots of new restaurants in Buckhead Atlanta, King + Duke and Umi.

Response by poster: Umi was amazing. We got the omakase (or Ito-kase at Umi) and everything was incredible. The bill was suprisingly reasonable too, by the time it was time to leave for the concert we were fairly full on mostly sashimi and it rang up to $75 per (plus drinks and one hot dish). Thanks again!
