Best Atlanta Restaurants??
I just moved here and I am planning on Eating my way through Atlanta. Any restaurant suggestions. So far I have tried Pappadaux, 2 Urban Licks, Geisha House, and Sage. I am interested in restaurants $20 a plate or less. Any more suggestions??

Any particular cuisine? Have you been to The Flying Biscuit yet? It serves vegetarian gourmet but it's not a vegetarian only place - they serve eggs and other animal-base proteins, too.

If you like Thai food, Nan down on 17th and Spring Street is excellent. Some of the plates are over $20, but it's well worth it.

OK, well I live near Little 5 Points and I recommend:
1. The Vortex (burgers)
2. Fox Bros BBQ (pork, chicken, and beef)
3. The Flying Biscuit (breakfast, lunch, dinner - gourmet American)
4. Fellini's (more for the outdoor seating and atmosphere though the pizza is good)
5. Mediterranian Cafe
6. Agave (in Cabbagetown)

There are so many good restaurants here that it's hard to even start a list. When I moved here, we bought a cityguide that focused on food, and we've been working our way through it over the last seven years!
A few quick recommendations:
Shaun's in Inman Park
Mitra (Latin, on Juniper)
Loca Luna (tapas, also on Juniper)
Beleza (Brazilian, would be a splurge, but YUM)
Thai Me Up in Decatur
Tamarind Seed (midtown, new incarnation of Tamarind, one of the city's best Thai restaurants)
Fritti (Inman Park) or Osteria 832 (VaHi) for thin-crust individual pizzas
Wahoo! in Decatur for brunch, a great patio
The Chocolate Bar in Decatur for dessert/drinks/chocolate 
Pura Vida (tapas, on Highland near Freedom Park)
Mezcalito's in Oakhurst has the best margaritas I've found
Okay, officially hungry now... |

Bluepointe at Lenox is very good, but pricey as well. Worth it!
