One of the most lauded restaurants in the American South, Rathbun's has enjoyed quite a reign atop the Atlanta fine-dining scene since respected restaurateur/chef Kevin Rathbun opened it in May 2004. But the industrial-chic eatery, located in The Stove Works building at the edge of Inman Park, refuses to rest on its laurels. The atmosphere remains casual; the regionally influenced menu is relatively affordable; and a walk-ins-only policy on the exquisite patio makes last-minute dinner plans possible. Small plates such as Thai rare beef and onion salad scan Rathbun's global sensitivity, while entrées may concurrently include sea scallops on country ham grits, and Asian-inspired seared yellowfin tuna with ginger pineapple. Full bar. Serving dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun. One of the Atlanta Constitution-Journal's Top 50 Restaurants of 2008. Voted Best Overall Restaurant and Best Chef in the 2008 Creative Loafing readers poll. One of Jezebel magazine's Top 100 Restaurants of 2008.
