Summary: This is a very good restaurant pocket guide.
Comment: Hundreds of Restaurants populate Atlanta. This compact guide is greatly needed to whittle down the selection. Often used to help select the best, I have found the Zagatsurvey to accurately guide me to the best cusine that Atlanta has to offer.

The 2002/03 edition has 95% of the best restaurants in Atlanta (when compared against the culture Atlanta magazine "Jezebel" in their July '100 Best Restaurants of 2002' edition). Scoring 1-30 in each category (food, decor, service) a restaurant's top score in each category can be 30. The Ritz-Carlton Dining Room, Buckhead scored 28, 27, 28 . . . the highest score in Atlanta. The remaining 449 restaurants in this guide have a flagship to follow.

One of the most useful features is the guide's "Top Rating" sections: Top Food by Cuisine, Best Buys, Most Popular, Top Outdoor, Top Romantic, Top Views, etc.

This is a very good pocket guide and, if there is a downside, it is the lack of maps. Two small maps are what you get to cover 450 restaurants. Actually, these two maps only list the 42 most popular restaurants. Another area that may disappoint some is the terse 50 word description for each restaurant, a brief narrative that fails to mention any outstanding restaurant dishes.

If you are looking for a fuller restaurant description, I commend the "Atlanta Restaurant Guide" by Christiane Lauterbach. Though dated (1996), it is a good guide to also have, but both are guides used together would be best. Zagat has been, and is, the best overall dining guide for Atlanta. Recommended!
