Bacchanalia Tops New Zagat Survey

Westside's Bacchanalia has topped Zagat's best of Atlanta restaurants once again. The new Zagat Survey, released this past Wednesday, puts the restaurant at number one for a sixth straight year. Just behind it: Quiones (owned by Bacchanalia's Anne Quatrano and Clifford Harrison), Rathbun's and Restaurant Eugene. Bone's steakhouse in Buckhead won the "most popular" category. The survey, which began rating Atlanta restaurants in 1990, is based on input from 3,287 frequent Atlanta diners.
