We had an absolutely perfect anniversary dinner at Livingston. Our table placement was so unique. The table for 2 was inside an old turnstile, which created an intimate ambience. The food was very good & we were treated with a delicious “happy anniversary” chocolate cake slice. Our server Ehren was attentive & generous, & really set the tone for a wonderful anniversary - pre theatre dining experience. We look forward to returning to Livingston.

My husband and I used to live in the area and Mission & Market was our favorite restaurant. When we knew we needed to be in the area we made sure to include lunch at Mission & Market. Our server Jade was fantastic, so attentive and friendly. Our food was perfect and the ambience was fantastic too. We will be back anytime we are in the area. Thank you!

Unmatched Views and an Incredible Sunset Experience The view is absolutely breathtaking! The Sun Dial is all about the experience of taking in Atlanta from the 72nd floor, and the 360° rotating observation deck makes it truly unique. There really isn’t a bad spot — no matter where you are, you’ll have an incredible view. You can also walk around the deck to find the perfect perspective as the sun sets. One thing to clarify is that the bar and restaurant below do not rotate. It’s the Sun Dial deck and its lounge chairs that rotate a full 360°, taking roughly 40 minutes to make a complete rotation. It’s a really cool way to watch the city change around you while enjoying the sunset. Our server was fantastic — friendly, attentive, and always very quick to bring us drinks or anything else we needed. Service definitely added to the experience. That said, the food and cocktail menus are fairly limited. They have the basics covered with beer, wine, and some good classic cocktails, but if you’re looking for creative or specialty cocktails, you won’t find a huge selection here. The food menu is also pretty small, making this more of a place to grab a quick bite and a drink rather than somewhere I would plan an entire dinner around. This may not be the trendiest rooftop in Atlanta, and the food and drinks aren’t necessarily what make it special. The view is the star of the show. As the tallest rooftop in Atlanta, the panoramic views are simply unmatched. I would absolutely recommend coming here at least once while you’re in Atlanta — especially around sunset. Come for the view, grab a drink, relax, and watch the city transform as the sun goes down. You won’t regret it!
