Horseradish Grill

This restaurant had a previous incarnation as the Red Barn Inn, and it still retains some of the rustic atmosphere: wood barn walls, a raftered pine ceiling, and a massive stone fireplace. Big windows overlook the organic garden on one side and Chastain Park on the other; patio seating is under ancient oaks. The view is lovely, whether you're inside or out, but go for the patio if you have a choice. It's also Atlanta's oldest continuously operating restaurant.

Chef Daniel Alterman emphasizes innovative southern recipes, simply prepared. Ingredients are seasonal and regional: no salmon or lobster, no tomatoes in winter, no turnip greens in summer. The excellent specialties include spicy North Carolina barbecue on corncakes, Georgia mountain trout, hickory-grilled double-cut pork chop, and so on. The wine list is predominantly American, but there are international selections, too. Kentucky oatmeal spice cake is the not-to-be-missed dessert. At lunch, there are sandwiches, small plates, and salads. The brunch menu is especially good; try the white omelet with goat cheese, Roma tomatoes, caramelized onions, and spinach.
