DOWNTOWN. Constantly busy with downtown professionals and folks staying at nearby hotels, Hsu's boasts much more than a convenient location. Its husband-and-wife team capitalize on their Asian heritage and love of food, and their passion shows in the celebrated cuisine. Szechuan and Hunan dishes are a specialty, and you'll find everything from Peking duck served in three courses to walnut shrimp, wok-charred beef medallions, and sea scallops in black pepper sauce. Another favorite is Spicy Anna's Seafood Noodle Soup.

Description:
MIDTOWN. First off, this sushi bar's initials stand for "Magic Fingers," which is the accomplished sushi chef's nickname. Second, sushi is all the restaurant serves. But, oh, what sushi it is, presented in a stylish place of pale woods and rhythmic music. Perfectly composed morsels are beautiful, fashioned from premium seafood, and are exemplary models of the genre. Fresh wasabi, terrific sakes, and knowledgeable servers up the ante on quality. Crafting the sushi does take time, so be prepared for some anticipation.

MIDTOWN. Transformed from a Victorian home, this gorgeous restaurant is a study in style and creativity. Texture and pattern invigorate the beautiful architecture, and patrons are, without exception, mesmerized by the interior. The cuisine, too, is innovative, grounded in Mandarin, Hunan, and Szechuan fare but open to interpretation. Specialties include crispy Mu Lan snapper with aged vinegar sauce, black pepper prawns and scallops, and braised chicken Taiwanese with ginger-garlic sauce. Vegetarian and spa cuisine entrees are available as well.

Description:
MIDTOWN. Nam's sensual interior mixes fresh flowers, candlelight and charcoal drawings as a seductive backdrop to the menu's vibrant cuisine. The family-run establishment has cultivated quite a loyal following thanks to its beautiful, well-balanced dishes. Many of the items may be unfamiliar, but the staff is happy to offer suggestions such as lotus root salad, steamed sea bass in a banana leaf parcel and "shaking" Kobe beef. Nam's nuoc cham sauce also elicits praise for the additional zest it adds to many a dish. A small patio is available when the weather's nice.

Description:
WESTSIDE. This elegant restaurant is considered one of Atlanta's – perhaps even the South's – finest and is a superb setting for romantic, intimate dinners, special occasions and celebrations. The innovative menu changes daily. Begin with gourmet specialties such as steak tartare with shallots and capers, or foie gras terrine with brioche toast and onion jam. Selecting a main dish poses an even tougher question: will it be wood-grilled breast of squab with potato gratin, or braised red snapper with caramelized turnips? Going wrong is just short of impossible at Bacchanalia.

Description:
MIDTOWN. Family-run and managed, this Thai establishment is among the city's best. Its soothing decor is an apt backdrop for spectacular cuisine that provides a true sense of what Thai fare should be. Fragrant spices and fresh vegetables conspire in dishes that create complex, but not overpowering, flavors. Try the curried fish cakes for a sampling of the kitchen's skill; lobster tail and spicy lamb are also fantastic options. Their beef dishes score high points as well, as do the curries, which are a Thai specialty.

Description:
DECATUR. Quietly elegant, this Asian fusion restaurant surrounds guests with soft lighting, wispy curtains, and exposed brick. It's a melange of effects in perfect keeping with the cuisine. Fresh, light flavors are standard, and a touch of spice is not unknown to the kitchen. Roasted duck breast is dressed with soy syrup and Thai basil puree, and crispy coconut prawns get a kick from a fragrant curry sauce. Seafood is prevalent, although you'll find chicken, squab, pork, lamb, and rabbit available as well. Delicious and reasonably priced.
