From the first cheese wafer, warm from the oven, that you have with your cocktail to that last bite of Mile High ice cream pie, your meal at this Atlanta institution will be as familiar as a rerun of a favorite TV show, a fair bit more indulgent than a normal meal, and somehow better than you remembered. The char on the steak, the crunchy coarse salt dusting an enormous baked potato, the buttery depth of flavor in a side dish of spinach. Servers materialize the second you need anything and disappear the moment you turn your attention to the food. The wine list is the deepest in Atlanta, but you can also save a pretty penny by bringing your own wine for a $10 corkage fee.
