Tacos, tapas, mixologist cocktails and -of course- authentically-prepared barbacoa in the heart of Virginia-Highlands, Atlanta. An eclectic-chic, Spanish vibe accented with warm copper and rich textiles, mood lighting and local artwork plus a comfortable covered patio make bar.bacoa the perfect date night, girl's night, celebratory night, or post-work happy hour spot.

Canton

About the restaurant

Welcome to the Downtown Kitchen. We have one goal in mind when we open our doors every day - "To do whatever it takes to create the best dining experience possible.' That means buying certified Angus beef, Ashley Farms chicken, New Zealand Spring lamb, dayboat fish and fresh local produce. We change our menus daily according to market and season availability. Our style of cooking is defined as simplicity at its best. We built the restaurant to elevate the guests' level of comfort. The bar, tables, and booths were custom-made by a local wood worker. And we searched the nation for unique works of Art to deck our walls. Music of Blues and Rock greats fill the air. Service is as important as the food. Our staff is sincere, knowledgeable and friendly. They hustle to deliver the best service around, yet take the time to remember your name and how you like your drink.

I’ve been coming to Nakato for over a decade and today was just as phenomenal as previous visits! The service was outstanding and the food was exceptional. We ordered a wide variety of dishes and each one was prepared with incredible attention to detail and flavor. The sushi was fresh and artfully presented, especially the chef’s special tuna cheek, which was a standout. The tempura was light and crispy, and the miso-glazed black cod practically melted in our mouths. Even the simple dishes, like the miso soup and house salad, were elevated by the quality of ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Nakato continues to be a perfect blend of tradition and innovation — a true gem that never disappoints. Thank you everyone for a beautiful evening and memorable experience. :)
