Dining room at The Sun Dial Restaurant, Bar & View, Atlanta, GAWhen visual drama is a key element in a dining experience, often the dining disappoints when the food arrives. But at the top of the Westin in downtown Atlanta, one may enjoy a striking view of the city's skyline as the dining floor slowly moves 360 degrees as well as good food and wine. Executive chef Christian Messier has risen to the challenge of transforming the frankly boring steakhouse menu into something that wouldn't frighten away the core constituency while perhaps attracting locals who have happily left it to the conventioneers to enjoy. Chef Messier's menu is not cast in concrete, but instead rotates through the seasons as his dining space does through the Atlanta skies. Beautifully prepared salmon, steak and vegetables---the latter relying heavily on local produce---lie at the core of the menu. We like the grilled chicken salad with dried cranberries and blue cheese, one of several dishes that can be rendered gluten free if needed. The grilled salmon with a vegetable salad may be enjoyed as a panino or as a light main dish at lunch. The wine list continues to improve, and if some of the offerings seem a bit ordinary, at least a large number of them now go with the dishes. A reserve list of pricey wine selections is still a feature so one may impress a client.
