Georgia Eatery Crowned 'Best Fine Dining Restaurant' In The State

Every once in a while, you may want to treat yourself to a nice meal at a fine dining restaurant, whether you want to celebrate a special occasion or a job promotion, mark an anniversary or special date night, or simple enjoy a delicious meal from world-class chefs. Georgia is home to countless restaurants perfect for the occasion, but one was recently recognized as the best in the state.

According to a list compiled by 24/7 Tempo , the best fine dining restaurant in Georgia is Mujō, an Atlanta establishment with a focus on sushi and Japanese cuisine. Mujō is located at 691 14th Street NW, Ste. C.

Here's what the site had to say about the best fine dining restaurant in Georgia:

"'Our goal is not to recreate the sushiya [sushi restaurants] of Japan,' according to the Mujō website, 'but to create an experience that represents who and where we are, while respecting and honoring the traditions of Edomae sushi.' The result is one of the most elegant and innovative Japanese restaurants in the country, although the executive chef, J. Trent Harris , is an American. His daily-changing omakase menu, including seafood air-freighted from Japan, has won the place one of Atlanta's five Michelin stars."

To determine its list, 24/7 Tempo looked at reviews and ratings on local, regional and state sites and "[extrapolated] a shortlist of establishments that fit the fine-dining bill." The list includes eateries that run the culinary gamut from sushi bars and French restaurants to steakhouses and establishments with fixed-price menus.
