Buckhead is a really great area. If I had to compare it to somewhere in the SF/SV area, it would probably be most comparable to Palo Alto. I've been in Atlanta twice over the past year, and spent most of each trip in Buckhead. There are tons of great restaurants, but my two picks so far would be Woodfire Grill for dinner and Buckhead Diner for brunch. I really can't say enough good things about Woodfire Grill -- it was probably the best meal I've ever had.

The Chef there won "Top Chef" one year.

Yep! That's why I went there the first time. It was amazing, so I went back again on my next trip to Atlanta. Interestingly, he was in the "kitchen" (at the woodfire grill, actually) cooking both times -- most well-known chefs are more restaurateurs than chefs.
