This is not an easy question to answer!  It depends: what are you in the mood to eat that night- steak, Italian, Southern, new Southern, Japanese, Sushi....?  What type service do you want- full service with all the bells and whistles or very casual?  Great bar AND great food or versa vice!!?  Depending upon time of day, do you want to dal with the traffic to get to some of the hot areas?  MY suggestion is to use these web sites:

Don't know if you mean best latte or drip coffee but for either- Octane or Dancing Goats. Both have multiple locations. I tend to go to Octane on Howell Mill at Marietta and Dancing Goats at Ponce City Market.

Best Cuban Sandwich is at Havana Sandwich Shop @ Buford Hwy and Claremont Rd [near Aldi's].
Not much ambiance, but great food; authentic, inexpensive & fast. and BYOB.
Been going there for 20 years..

Fox Brothers BBQ - their brisket chili and jalapeno cornbread are to die for.

I'm a fan of Bones, but Hal's has won me over the past couple years.

Hals, Mortons is good too, Capital grille are all good for steak.  
Imperial Fez for Moroccan. They also have beautiful belly dancers. Don't forget the happy juice at the Fez
Tuk Tuk for fantastic Thai. Great food, wine a sake!  
Enjoy your trip and if you need a dinning buddy let me know.

The food at both the places Ziggy mentioned, Krog Street and Ponce City Market, is great.

Rays on the River!!!

What, they have special Italian ingredients in St Louis? Give me a freakin break. Restaurant quality in Atlanta is as good as any city in the USA. Saying otherwise is just regional bias.

Agree on FB BBQ, but you must have the fried rib appetizer!

Haven't eaten at Fox Brothers .  Been told it is excellent and can't go wrong.  A place I do know is excellent is Heirloom BBQ.  A little hole in the wall place.  Tiny eatery, communal table and the  BBQ is EXCELLENT.  2243 Akers Mill Rd SE in north Atlanta off the 285.
