Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Dunwoody

Valenza is one of my "go-to" establishments in Brookhaven. The food is excellent: delectable home-made pastas, excellent appetizers and entrees cooked to perfection. Servers are friendly and helpful. The wine list has something for everyone and is priced reasonably. Cocktails rotate seasonally and the bar has something for everyone with skilled bartenders. Whether dining for business or just an evening out with family/friends, Valenza always seems to be the right place.

Can't go wrong with butternut squash soup with cranberry. Caesar salad was good but not outstanding. Cod with spinach, mashed potatoes was excellent. Grilled vegetable sandwich was tasty. Tracy, our waitress, was a delight and attentive. View of river was beautiful.

A wonderful lunch experience. A scaled down menu but great choices. Beautiful focaccia with whipped ricotta, perfect salad, fish entree followed by espressos and biscotti. Amazing and warm service.

Another exquisite Chef’s Tasting meal at The Alden. Chef Jared once again exceeded our expectations, which were already high going in. We were introducing our 24 year old son and his girlfriend to this experience for her birthday and they loved it! Do yourself a favor and give this a shot!

This has become my favorite restaurant in Atlanta. The food quality and flavor profiles are top notch. The restaurant staff provide excellent service and always welcoming to the table. One of my favorite things about Local 3 is that my food allergies are saved in the system. That is good business! I’ll be back again, and again, and again. Thank you!
