Two Urban Licks, Atlanta

Your visit to Two Urban Licks begins with an arrival you won't soon forget: Its entrance, seemingly in the middle of an industrial zone, is an old loading dock. Once inside, you'll quickly see what draws the crowds: The former warehouse has been sleekly decked out as an urban lounge. Even with the passing of several seasons since its 2004 debut, it still fills up with Atlanta's trendy set. The setting and the innovative (even quirky) menu selections have kept it on the short list for the city’s foodies. The salmon chips (short smoked salmon with chipotle cream cheese, capers, and red onion) are a popular appetizer, while the bronzed sea scallops (served over smoked gouda grits—seriously—in a tomato broth) are our favorite. Prices are on the high end of moderate, but it's a hip dining experience that sums up Atlanta’s cutting-edge cuisine scene.
