Dantanna's

3400 Around Lenox Dr, Ste 304, Atlanta, GA 30326 404-760-8873

Description: BUCKHEAD. Stop in on a March afternoon, and you'll likely find this establishment near Lenox Square packed with suits captivated by NCAA Tourney broadcasts. Dantanna's is a "sports restaurant" ­ a sophisticated gathering place that isn't dressed with neon signs and team pennants. Instead, dozens of flat-screen TVs hang from the clubby, dark-stained walls. The bar area includes attractive open-air patio, and the adjoining cigar lounge gives Buckhead aficionados a place where they can puff freely. That said, if you're on business and looking for a classy place to catch the "big game," Dantanna's is a good call. Great surf and turf options, too.
