With a slew of fancified burgers, marketplace dining, trattorias, and cafés, Atlanta hits the mark with comfort-casual. But Chef Anne Quatrano makes sure there are still a few places to put on your party clothes, and Bacchanalia, with its elegant tables and understated service, pulls out all the stops. Before farm-to-table was matter of course for responsible chefs, 2012 Atlanta Rising Star Chef David Carson was working with Quatrano to bring whole animals to Bacchanalia, creating a menu that's as holistic as it is approachable. And he sweeps diners away with his refined plates, combinations of modern technique, and local ingredients. Pastry Chef Carla Tomasko's desserts are an ideal end to Carson's meal; deftly executed, they are just the simple, fulfilling bite needed at the end of a swanky dinner.
