Taste of Buckhead 2017 will bring together more than 20 chefs and representatives from the city’s most popular and trendsetting restaurants for a one-of-a-kind, upscale experience.  Participating restaurants this year include American Cut, Bold American, The Capital Grille, Eclipse Di Luna, Gusto!, Meehan’s Buckhead, Rock’s Chicken and Fries, Seasons 52, Smokebelly, Southern Art, Southern Bistro, Southern Gentleman and The Big Ketch.

Back by popular demand, attendees will also have the opportunity to purchase a ‘Spirit Wall’ raffle ticket for just $20 to take home a bottle of spirit or wine.
