The Kimball House - Decatur, Ga.

Located in Decatur, this Georgia restaurant sits about 20 minutes outside of Atlanta and was built in the former Decatur railway depot which dates back to 1891. Debuting just last year, the 88-seat eatery began drawing crowds almost as soon as it opened its doors. Through seasonal, daily-changing fare and local, farm-to-table cuisine, The Kimball House reflects its southern surroundings and enthusiasm for exquisite food. The restaurant's design aesthetic is a nod to classic Atlanta, and more specifically the old Kimball House Hotel. With elegant chandeliers, leather booths, penny-tiled floors, vintage art and trinkets decorating interior, the space feels sophisticated and storied. It is best known for its oysters and cocktails, specifically its absinthe menu which boasts an extensive array of traditionally-prepared cocktails.
