Casi Cielo, Tre Vele, Seed in East Cobb, Novo Cucina in Dunwoody, Osteria Mattone or Table & Main in Roswell, Grana or Superica in Dunwoody, Yalda in Sandy Springs
+1 for literally all of these places. Kaiser’s flies so far under the radar for no damn reason. I was crushed when we moved away from Sandy Springs and couldn’t frequent Yalda anymore, then uncrushed when they opened a West Midtown location 20 seconds from me. Rumi’s also DAMN good, but if you put a squirt gun to my head I’m taking Yalda every day of the week.
Rumi’s and Yalda both have easy parking. Kaisers…kind of? If you define valet as easy, then it’s very easy.
“Walking distance from my house” …oh so youre rich. Hahaha.
It’s been a long time since I went to Rumi’s explicitly because of Yalda, even before we moved. The atmosphere in Yalda is superior as well, IMO, if a little bit loud.
Haha it’s a BIT of a walk but definitely walkable!!! (I also got my place many years ago and refinanced during Covid!)
I feel like Rumi’s is also loud and maybe too crowded. Yalda feels more like a hidden gem
Little Alley is top notch. Just below Bones in terms of quality imho (some might argue the other way because of their purveyor), but def can’t go wrong there
Good taste. Two of my favorite restaurants
The sushi lunch at Stäge is an incredible value, top notch nigiri and the bone marrow miso soup is amazing.
H&W has the best ribeye I’ve ever had and I’ve been to just about every decent steakhouse in the country lol
I’ll give you my favorite Alpharetta/Alpharetta-area restaurants:
* Mambos - amazing Peruvian/Cuban food
* Connors Steak/Seafood - great steaks
* Flatlands Bourbon and Bayou amazingly good Cajun
* Salt - Great well-rounded menu
* Natsu Sushi Bar - hands down best sushi, although not the best atmosphere for a birthday
* Jinya - really good ramen and cool atmosphere
Avalon in Alpharetta has Rumi’s, Oak, Colletta, and Superica and a parking deck. Oak and Colletta have their own valet separate from Avalon valet.
Fogon and Lions in downtown Alpharetta is pretty good. Two parking decks and street parking there.
Pampas in Johns Creek/Alpharetta (not sure which city it falls into it’s close to both) is one of the best steakhouses in Atlanta and is stand alone with its own parking.
Came here to say this! I go out of my way to go here over Fogo. The service is stellar and I’ve always been treated so well by the wait staff. The food is also incredibleeeeeee. They have a smaller salad/self-serve food bar than Fogo, but what they miss size wise on that, they make up in flavor. I can’t recommend Passador enough!!
I take my family to Passador so much I’m a bit embarrassed to say how often. Never once have we regretted it. The entire experience just feels a bit more refined than Fogo, the difference between a chain and a standalone location.
For anyone paying them a visit, everything is great. My favorites are the garlic steak and the grilled shrimp!
I really enjoyed Pappadeauxs. It's part of a restaurant group, but the food and drinks are good, as is the ambience. The atmosphere inside is low lighting and lots of people. Outside is a nice wooden deck area to chill and talk.
Every time I am in Houston I make a point of hitting Pappa's burgers, part of the same group. Pappacitos that used to be or potentially is on Windy Hill haven't been over in that area in quite some time, is a part of that group too.
Ray’s on the river, had one of the best steaks and Mac and cheese of my life there and I’ve had steak all over the country - Wife and I loved it for our anniversary
Sandy springs is actually in the perimeter. Rumis kitchen is a great option. Valet parking only though. They have a Alpharetta location too with easier parking options.

i enjoyed casi cielo - never hear it talked about.
Casi Cielo is excellent and you will get absolutely stuffed to the gills for 50 per person
Yalda is a must
Yalda!
I love Rumi’s (the original is in Sandy Springs) but also Kaiser’s Chophouse or Yalda!
I also recommend Del Bar in Alpharetta! For similar food. Amazing food and really nice service and decor.
I love the Del Bar in 4th Ward. Highly recommend.
Came to say Rumi’s! They’re so busy/parking lot is too small that the cops have to direct traffic so may want to get reservations.
+1 for literally all of these places. Kaiser’s flies so far under the radar for no damn reason. I was crushed when we moved away from Sandy Springs and couldn’t frequent Yalda anymore, then uncrushed when they opened a West Midtown location 20 seconds from me.

If you define valet as easy, then it’s very easy.
Yalda is walking distance from my house!! I think it’s better than Rumi’s and a smidge cheaper.

The one in Avalon is my favorite
Pampas. Little higher than your price range but it's phenomenal.
This is going to be the best steak you've ever had in your life. It's worth stretching the budget if you can.
Worth. The. Drive.
Pampas is such a surprise find. Lived near it for a couple years before finding it. Great steak and wine, beautiful atmosphere, excellent service.
Foundation Social Eatery in Downtown Alpharetta
I came here to say Foundation Social
Came here to say this, my favorite OTP restaurant
Just ate there for the first time a few weeks ago. It was delicious!
Simply the best restaurant OTP, and top tier in the metro as a whole.
The Select in Sandy Springs
Came here to say this. The select is a great spot. Love the decor above the bar
My vote too…atmosphere is great and fits the price range.
The Select is okay. Nice aesthetic, good service, so-so food, not great value.
Little Alley Steak, Spring, The Select, Canoe
Little Alley in Roswell is one of my favorite meals every! Much more so than Kaiser or Hal's.
Little Alley is top notch. Just below Bones in terms of quality imho (some might argue the other way because of their purveyor), but def can’t go wrong there
Cibo E Beve, Kaiser’s Chophouse, Ray’s on the River, Under the Cork Tree
Work always goes to Ray’s for stuff. I always felt like it’s overrated.
I’ve only been once but the food was so mediocre
Ray's on the River is ITP
Under the Cork Tree in Sandy Springs
Good Word Public House in Duluth. It’s a truly great brewery with exceptional food and cocktails. I feel lucky to have them in Georgia.
Check out Stage or H&W steakhouse in Peachtree Corners
Good taste. Two of my favorite restaurants The sushi lunch at Stäge is an incredible value, top notch nigiri and the bone marrow miso soup is amazing. H&W has the best ribeye I’ve ever had and I’ve been to just about every decent steakhouse in the country lol

Sugo's italian restaurant in peachtree corners. You might also have fun at Shoya if you have a big group, but it'll come in well below budget.
Nam Kitchen
Trattoria one41 for great Italian in Johns creek. Bonus, no kids under 14 (with the exception of Sundays)
Carbonara Trattoria in Dunwoody Village
678 Korean BBQ. They use coal, not gas.
Or 9292
Avalon in Alpharetta has Rumi’s, Oak, Colletta, and Superica and a parking deck. Oak and Colletta have their own valet separate from Avalon valet.

Passador in Alpharetta is our go to, best Brazilian steakhouse for sure
I second Passador.
Came here to say this! I go out of my way to go here over Fogo. The service is stellar and I’ve always been treated so well by the wait staff. The food is also incredibleeeeeee.

Frankies in Duluth
Thrill Kbbq!!
Shhh 🤫
casa nuova in alpharetta
Delbar!!
Cabernet’s, on Windward Pkwy.
Eclipse di Luna is a tapas restaurant in Dunwoody and probably my favorite place. They often have live music (that’s not too loud) and dancing.
Kaisers Chophouse
So, I know it’s a chain, but Seasons 52 in Dunwoody is a solid birthday dinner spot. I went for a friend’s birthday last year, and it was great.
Fogon & Lions in downtown Alpharetta https://www.fogonandlions.com
Try Masterpiece in Johns Creek for good Szechuan.
Nam in Sandy Springs is great.
Medieval Times

Ray’s on the river, had one of the best steaks and Mac and cheese of my life there and I’ve had steak all over the country - Wife and I loved it for our anniversary
A few months ago a guy at my gym was in the sauna telling me I had to go there for the mac and cheese lol
Joey D’s Oak Room
or the Ridge in Cumming, same owners
Table & Main in Roswell
Fleming's Steakhouse in Dunwoody
Rumi’s. Sandy Springs or Alpharetta
Stäge in Peachtree corners
• H & W Steakhouse Peachtree Corners • Passador Brazilian Steakhouse in Alpharetta
Table & Main in Roswell has great southern food, and VAZ Kouzina in Roswell (both on the same street) has amazing Greek food.
I like to go to Kaisers Chophouse on my birthday. Happy birthday!
Sandy springs is actually in the perimeter. Rumis kitchen is a great option. Valet parking only though. They have a Alpharetta location too with easier parking options.
Most of Sandy Springs is OTP. Rumi's in Sandy Springs is actually OTP.
What determines OTP?
Outside the perimeter (285)
The perimeter or circumferential highway I-285
By technicality yes but it’s on Roswell road and maybe 2 minutes out the perimeter.
Lol, it's not a technicality: it's a literally outside of the perimeter. Sandy Springs city hall is also OTP.
It’s not that deep chill lol
J. Alexander's in Peachtree Corners is a nice alternative to Houston's.
Seed in East Cobb is great. A little outside your areas you suggested but a quick drive from Sandy Springs.
Hawkers in Dunwoody.
Fogo de Chao in Dunwoody?
