Downtown's Marriott Marquis easily qualifies as a Top-5 piece of architecture in Atlanta. The lobby atrium feels like an indoor Grand Canyon in the sky, a seemingly never-ending stack of floors that twist and turn as they rise into the stratosphere. As such, the hotel has always
been forward-thinking and their in-house restaurant, Sear,
has always provided an enjoyable for a meal if I was in the neighboorhood downtown for a ballgame or
concert.
Now,
after an extensive renovation, it's even better. This is an example of being in a big hotel
but not feeling like it. The new version
feels more rustic and farmhouse-like and the menu works hard to source locally using Joyce Farms, Thompson
Farms and local butter maker, Banner Butter.The honey that's used in some of the dishes and cocktails comes from
50,000 working bees that live atop the hotel!
The
menu is "fire-inspired" with dishes like butter-basted cauliflower steak,
braised pork chops, dry-aged steak and seared scallops. Pair that up with one of 25 bourbons and a
solid wine list.
So
next time you have plans downtown and are looking for a cool experience for
breakfast lunch or dinner, take in the jaw-dropping atrium of the Marriott
Marquee and then head into Sear.Your
parking is also covered with validation so that's an added plus if you are up
to walking to State Farm Arena, The Georgia Aquarium, College Hall of Fame or Mercedes Benz Stadium.

level of the Atlanta Marriott Marquis in downtown Atlanta, Sear is a recently

bourbon bar. Guests can enjoy unique offerings such as breakfast, a brunch buffet,
