ATL|A Hidden Gem Beloved by the Old-Money Crowd 💰✨
Located in Atlanta's upscale Buckhead neighborhood within The Burgess Hotel, Fia is a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant celebrated for its wood-fired grill, premium meats, fresh seafood, and house-made pasta. We chose Fia for a friend’s birthday—and were completely mesmerized! The setting is stunning: a dreamy pool surrounded by lush greenery, white umbrellas, and rustic wooden tables. Every corner feels like a vintage postcard (I literally drained my phone battery taking pictures 📸). The food? Not a single miss. And you can tell it’s a local favorite—most diners were well-dressed regulars, many from the neighborhood’s established crowd. ✨ Must-Order List: 🍖 Pork Belly – Trust me, order this! Crispy skin paired with Coca-Cola-infured cornbread and hearty grits—unexpected and perfectly balanced. 🥩 Short Rib – 72-hour slow-cooked, wood-grilled short rib so tender it falls apart. (The rice underneath is a bit sweet for some, but the meat is divine.) 🦐 Shrimp Saganaki – Juicy shrimp in a rich tomato-feta sauce, served with crispy baguette for dipping (like Mediterranean-style “bread soup”!). 🍚 Lobster Rice – Creamy, comforting Mediterranean-style rice loaded with big chunks of lobster. Addictively good. 🍄 Truffle Special – A seasonal dish we can’t forget—earthy, fragrant, with a subtle tang that keeps it from feeling heavy. 🍮 Crème Brûlée – Surprisingly not too sweet! Creamy, rich, and perfectly torched. 📝 Tips: ▪️ Reserve a poolside table in advance—it’s magical after dark, especially with a little flash photography. ▪️ Expect around $100 per person (including tip). 📍 Fia Restaurant – Inside The Burgess Hotel, Buckhead 📸 Best photo spots: pool corner & the elegant bar area #FiaAtlanta #BuckheadDining #MediterraneanFood #PoolsideVibes #SpecialOccasion #AtlantaEats #HiddenGem #DateNightSpot #FineDining #FoodieHeaven 🥂🍽️
