What are some great restaurants in Atlanta?

I am coming to Atlanta next week and staying close to Perimeter Mall but will have a car. Looking for a great place to eat that has GREAT food, GOOD atmosphere and isn't going to break the bank either, with entrees from $15-35? Its for my boyfriends 40th birthday.

GOOGLE IT !!

Gladys Knights Chicken and Waffles. Great restaurant.

Watershed
406 W Ponce De Leon Ave, Decatur, GA
Celebrated Decatur eatery serves accomplished New Southern cuisine to a devoted following.

I love Houston's!! The Hawaiian Steak is awesome!!

Atlanta has no bad restaurants they are all reasonable in cost the problem they all have is the portions to much food to eat, every time i go to the downtown area i eat so much i can hardly walk. sauces that no one has ever heard of, waitresses that sound like they came out of the past with politeness. i love Atlanta but if i lived there i would never have a kitchen i would eat out every night and have to be trucked around in the back of a pickup truck.

Wisteria

Atlanta, GA 30307
