Buckhead energy without the Buckhead attitude

Yeppa & Co. pulls off something rare in this zip code — a 4.8 with nearly 7,000 reviews that doesn't feel like it's coasting on hype. The $$ price point keeps things relaxed enough that you're not performing, but the Buckhead Ave address means your date will still feel like you picked somewhere.
