Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Kirkwood

Always a great experience. Food and service is the best.

Exceptional. It had been 2 years since we last dined at Marcel and while our previous visit was good, there are lots of great steak restaurants in Atlanta. Well, in the 2 years since, the experience has improved astronomically. Service: Excellent, personable, knowledgable. Food: Delicious. Delivered to the table at temperature. Terrific taste. Ambiance: Exceptional. Speaks to a special night out, without being fake or stuffy. The food is exceptional and demands a special night out attention to detail and respect by the guests. I am a bit of a steak experience snob, and Marcel has really rung the bell for me - easily capable of unseating some of Atlanta’s finest “old school” steakhouses. Highly recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute gem in Midtown Atlanta! Divan Restaurant & Bar is an unforgettable dining experience! Housed in a stunning, multi-level historic castle, the ambiance is plush, romantic, and incredibly welcoming. Their Persian and Mediterranean menu is out of this world—the traditional kebobs, perfectly cooked salmon, and the pomegranate cheesecake are absolute must-tries. What really made our night spectacular, though, was the top-tier service. Farid went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our evening was flawless, and Raven was an absolute delight, giving us the most amazing craft cocktail recommendations and keeping the good vibes going. If you want Michelin-level food with a warm, beautifully designed atmosphere, Divan is the place to be. I cannot wait to come back!

We loved our dinner and our server, Amanda, and manager, Mark, even gave us great recommendations for what to do in Atlanta. A very warm vibe and beautifully prepared food.

Wonderful for a group. Desserts were the crowd favorite.
