Additional Restaurant Recommendations

The dining options at Avalon and Historic Downtown Roswell are all delicious and convenient for guests staying at Hilton Alpharetta Atlanta. We also wanted to highlight a few of our favorite special occasion restaurants in other locations. Ray's Killer Creek (Seafood & Steak- very close to Hilton Alpharetta Atlanta with easy parking). Canoe is lovely for dining with views of the Chattahoochee River. Aria in Buckhead is an all-time favorite.
