1. Valenza
1441 Dresden Dr NE
(404) 969-3233
Let Chef Matt Swickerath delight you with any of his amazing daily creations, I had crudo, baracuda and mascarpone desert- it was perfect- can wait to go back to Valenza.

2. Haven
1441 Dresden Dr NE
(404) 969-0700
I got the Georgia trout and have been thinking about it since. • They have another restaurant (Valenza) that's good and in the same shopping plaza.

3. Terra Terroir
3974 Peachtree Rd NE
(404) 841-1032
Great wine selection and beautiful outdoor patio with full foliage. • It is in a shopping center, but don't let that fool you! • The back patio is gorgeous and unexpected.

4. Kaleidoscope Bistro & Pub
1410 Dresden Dr
(404) 474-9600
Chef Joey Riley knows what's up. • Friendly folks and diverse crowd mainly ranging from 20-something to 50-something singles and couples hanging out.

5. Amorino
3393 Peachtree Rd
(404) 816-9996
Absolutely amazing gelato. We first discovered Amorino in Milan during our honeymoon. Their Gelato was wonderful and we loved how they shaped it into a flower shape.

6. Verde
1426 Dresden Dr
(404) 254-5319
Verde Taqueria has two locations: one in Brookhaven and one in Westside. • Super reasonable prices & nice change of pace as I usually go for the 'authentic' stuff around the corner.

7. The One Sushi
2523 Caldwell Rd
(404) 869-6988
Try the yellowtail jalapeño shots you won't regret it. oh also, there's valet so no worries on looking for a parking spot.

8. Pour Bistro
1418 Dresden Dr
(404) 254-5277
My favorite flatbread is the arugula with fig and prosciutto. • Our server was attentive and professional without being overbearing.

9. Hudson Grille
4046 Peachtree Rd
(404) 233-0313 Good place to watch games, UFC fights, and other sporting events. • Trivia nights can get noisy, but not so noisy you can't hear yourself think.

10. Vero Pizzeria
1441 Dresden Dr
(404) 869-1166
The only thing I wasn't impressed with was the ordering process. • And while you can order Haven's food in Valenza and vice versa, you cannot order Vero into Valenza or Haven.
