Nine Street Kitchen in Historic Roswell puts an emphasis on fresh ingredients, making all the sauces, rubs, dressings, and marinades from scratch every day. Many locals come to sample the small plates, like the homemade bleu cheese and celery, or the Pizzadilla, which is pepperoni, tomato, and cheese, wrapped in a tortilla. One of the menu features is Marina del Mer, which is linguini topped with crab, shrimp, and marinara. Weekends and some nights find the patio filled, with patrons bobbing heads to the sounds of live music.

Table and Main was inspired by a song by The Band, which begs its listeners to "take a load off." The inviting atmosphere of this rustic, old-fashioned restaurant invites exactly that. Go all out with the Preservation Platter, a serving of cured meats, cheese, pickled vegetables, Vidalia bacon jam, and thick country bread. For dinner, feast on grilled lamb chops, savor shrimp and grits, or indulge in country fried veal with pickled onions. End on a sweet note with the pie of the day. Complement your meal with a choice from the surprisingly healthy wine and beer list.

Salt Factory in Historic Roswell has an inviting and relaxing atmosphere. The focus is the extensive beer list, which includes a draft menu with many staples like Guinness, Stella Artois, and Blue Moon.

The food menu centers around organic and local, classic comfort foods with a haute-cuisine twist. Before your entree, have a selection of cut meats from the Butcher's Block, like the sweet cappicola (black pepper and herb crusted pork shoulder) or the prosciutto di Parma (aged Italian farmhouse ham). Top it off with a Shepherd's Pie with minced lamb.

No. 246 creates a crisp appearance with white-washed walls that throw the contrasting dark wood tables and rustic pizza-paddle wall decor into sharp relief. Large overhead metal lights hang from the ceiling, perfectly illuminating the bar and the center seating. A basket of giant, fresh baguettes flaunt themselves on the wall by the waiter's station. If you come for brunch, you'll notice the number of pizzas (topped with bacon, potato, poached eggs, and cheese) that spring from the kitchen. A dinner here would call for an order of the well-flavored flounder which is served with a healthy side of greens or the gnocchi, which comes with perfectly roasted wild mushrooms. An interesting dessert called the spoom makes a great ending, served in a waffle cone and topped with olive oil! The chef's counter, a meal for four, comes highly recommended. Get seated in front of the busy and fiery kitchen and experience an on-the-spot planned meal by Chef Belline himself!
