*Restaurants near the Intercontinental Hotel, Buckhead*

There are numerous places to eat and drink only a short drive away but with one exception, these are within walking distance. If you do venture further afield, count on phoning a cab to pick you up - you almost certainly won't be able flag one down.

Buckhead boasts numerous upscale steak houses (you could walk to Morton's: The Steakhouse at 3379 Peachtree Rd) but this old Atlanta favorite is just a short cab ride away.  This choice could do serious damage to your balance sheet and your weight control, but then most steak houses do\!

If you have silver hair, you may remember this place moved when the original Underground Atlanta closed - it's been a Buckhead institution ever since.  A jazz club, all decked out like a boat, that serves fondue.
