Rank 1. Spring
Contemporary American
Exposed brick and a vaulted dark-wood ceiling set the tone at this Michelin-starred fine dining room in downtown Marietta, where the menu is short by design and the cooking lets ingredients argue for themselves. The chef keeps things deceptively simple, which is harder than it looks. The wine list has real range. A James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef: Southeast, this is the kind of place that makes Marietta a destination, not a detour.

Rank 9. Seed Kitchen & Bar
Contemporary American
The covered patio next to the bar is where Marietta regulars tend to settle in for the long haul. This neighborhood American restaurant runs a seasonal menu built around local and organic sourcing, which in practice means dishes like miso maple-glazed scallops and lavender honey duck breast sharing space with a chicken schnitzel that apparently nobody can leave without ordering. Servers know the menu well enough to actually help. A comfortable, unhurried room without any pretense about it.
