Lyla Lila

As you get settled in your seat, the first thing your waiter will likely ask you is, “Are you dining before a show?” That’s because this trendy restaurant is within a block of Atlanta’s iconic Fox Theater. Whether you’re catching a meal before the showtime or dining in for a nice dinner, we recommend giving yourself enough time to enjoy everything Lyla Lila has to offer, from the classic pasta dishes to the whimsical monstera leaves and paper lanterns adorning the walls. Don’t sleep on entrees like the squash-wrapped snapper adorned with currants, and roasted chicken with tangy Castelvetrano olives and capers. Next time, make a point to hang out at the beautiful horseshoe-shaped bar for a Monk’s Repose cocktail—the lemon-based gin drink is a light and refreshing way to cap the night.
