As Atlanta's first spinning restaurant, Polaris has been a staple since the 1960s. In its heyday, Polaris drew a glamorous crowd. Now, it’s mostly conference attendees heading upstairs from their Hyatt Regency hotel rooms, corporate types taking clients out, and tourists checking the rotating restaurant off their “first time in Atlanta” list. If you’re among them, don't come expecting the meal of your life, but the food is just-fine if you’re here for the novelty. The artisanal olive sourdough is pleasantly chewy, dense, and a worthy starter. The scallops arrive with a nice crisp but aren't remarkable. The $58 steak requires some chewing, but it’s serviceable. Like the food at your cousin's wedding, it's all decent enough to soak up a strong cocktail like their Hennessey-infused Love Below. The best part of the meal here is dessert. The Southern buttermilk and apple tart is a highlight, topped with sweet vanilla-almond crumble and a soft buttery crust. By then (roughly 75 minutes later), you and your heavy-ass chrome dining chair will have completed a full revolution, letting the changing skyline do all of the “oh wow” work the dinner missed. Also check out our review for The Sun Dial, which sits just a block away and is Atlanta's tallest spinning restaurant.
