After much anticipation on behalf of residents, Noble Fin arrived on the Peachtree Corners restaurant scene three years ago. It’s a refined seafood and steak restaurant with loyal customers, for both corporate and family occasions. They have a fantastic staff, great food, and a culinary trained chef. “We’re always happy to please everybody who comes in. That’s our job,” emphasized Owner, Cliff Bramble.
Santa Baby Meets Little Fin
Currently, they do not cater off-site, but they’ve just launched Little Fin, a virtual, daytime restaurant with the capacity to serve 10-200 people with boxed lunches, sandwich platters, soups, salads, beverages, and fruit via pick-up or delivery to homes and offices in Gwinnett County. Just in time for the busy, holiday season!
In the restaurant, a small party size in a private room would comprise about 15 people. For a group of 70, two private rooms can be combined. The largest party they can accommodate would involve a complete buyout, with 150 guests.
“We can accommodate parties for lunch and dinner that are anywhere from 20-75 people. We also do a lot of rehearsal dinners that go up to as many as 70 or 80,” resumed Bramble.
At Noble Fin, your holiday party can feature a seated meal, a cocktail party, or a combination of the two. “If you want to do something between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., perhaps not a big, blow-out dinner, you can come here, rent one of the rooms, and have cocktails and small appetizers,” suggested Bramble.
Besides a semi-private room, they have three private rooms named after some of their favorite places on the coast: The Chesapeake Room, The Newport Room, and The Hatteras Room.
Service options are buffet style, family-style, and chef-driven stations throughout the restaurant, especially for larger parties. The stations make things a little less formal, allowing for people to circulate and intermingle. Salad, prime rib, and pasta stations are popular.
If you have a limited timeframe, like an hour for lunch, and you want to serve 35 people in one hour, you’ll find a salad on the table when you arrive. Then the entrees would be served. “We can have everybody in and out of here in 45 minutes to an hour. We try to be flexible and help everybody out, no matter what they need,” said Bramble.
How About a Holiday Party with Noble Fin?
Although the restaurant name would suggest a seafood-only menu, there are plenty of steaks on the menu for meat lovers. Bramble commented, “Everybody loves steak!”
Dietary needs are discussed during the planning phase of your holiday party. They can offer vegetarian and gluten-free options. If you request a kosher meal, they will have it delivered to the restaurant by a gentleman they work with in town. “We have options available for everybody. We have to have all bases covered,” explained Bramble.
Bar: Hosts can provide an open bar for their guests and be charged for beer, wine and liquor based on consumption. Bramble commented, “Companies are a lot more conservative now with the parties than they were five years ago with those two martini lunches. Ha! Ha! Or was that ten years ago?” Martini lunches? Where do we sign up?
Book it!
“We’ve been booking holiday parties since August. Usually by October, they’re already booked. I would recommend you book early because by the time you want that favorite Friday night, it might already be taken,” warned Bramble. “Saturday afternoon parties are very popular.”
In December they open for lunch at 11 a.m. and for dinner, people having large parties lasting 3 to 4 hours, will come in as early as 3:30 p.m. or 4 p.m. While they’re usually closed on Sundays, in December they offer the opportunity to have parties on Sundays as well.
Event menus are derived from the regular menu. There are three different packages. They start at $45 for 3 courses and go up to $65. If items that are not on the menu are requested, they’ll work to accommodate you.
Guests are offered a choice of appetizers, three or four entrees to select from, and then there’s dessert. “If you want a 4-course dinner, we can do that as well. Some people choose to do a cocktail hour first, especially if they haven’t eaten since 1:00 in the afternoon and they’re showing up here at 6 p.m. It’s good to have a cocktail hour or half hour, with some passed hors d’oeuvres, before sitting down to have dinner,” suggested Bramble.

The South African fast-casual favorite expands in Georgia, bringing its signature flame-grilled spice and art-filled interiors to Peachtree Corners
Less than six months after opening its flagship Atlanta-area location at Perimeter’s High Street, world-famous South African restaurant brand Nando’s PERi-PERi opened its second Georgia restaurant to the public — for lunch and dinner service — on Tuesday, February 25.
Located within the premier mixed-used development and outdoor lifestyle center The Forum Peachtree Corners, Nando’s PERi-PERi is ready to offer its beloved flame-grilled chicken dishes, signature hot sauces and more to Atlanta-area locals and visitors alike.
“Atlanta has shown us so much love with the opening of our first location at High Street, so we couldn’t be more thrilled to expand our footprint in Georgia by bringing Nando’s to The Forum Peachtree Corners,” said Sepanta Bagherpour, chief brand officer at Nando’s PERi-PERi. “As a brand so rooted in community, we are excited to be a part of this lively hub where food, fun and connection unite.”
PERi-PERi flavor
Nando’s is known around the world for their flavorful flame-grilled chicken, and the concept’s popularity can be traced to PERi-PERi — or African Bird’s Eye Chili — the heart and soul of the Nando’s experience.
“We marinate our chicken in PERi-PERi for at least 24-hours, so the flavor goes right through to the bone,” Bagherpour explained. “Then we grill it over an open flame and baste it with PERi-PERi sauce to the customer’s preferred spice level. That’s what makes our chicken so addictive.”
Nando’s sources its PERi-PERi in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi and South Africa via a network of 1,400 local farmers who are empowered with upfront access to funds, equipment and seedlings. And before the growing season even starts, they are guaranteed a fair price purchase commitment.
Warm space and friendly service
Nando’s intensely loyal following has not only been driven by its high-quality food, but also by its friendly service presented in a relaxed atmosphere that elevates the typical fine-fast casual experience.
Every Nando’s location is uniquely designed with earthy textures and vibrant colors that reflect its sunny African heritage while retaining a sense of place in which it lives and breathes.
The restaurant’s location in Peachtree Corners is no exception.
Designed by Fusion, Nando’s at The Forum is packed with custom lighting, furniture and authentic art imported from South Africa, showcasing the strong ties to its cultural heritage.
On a prominent corner within the newly refurbished open-air development, the new Nando’s visibility is boosted by its large, canopy-covered outdoor seating area. Inside the restaurant, guests will feel warm and welcome with design elements that balance the contrast of raw, textural finishes and saturated hits of color and pattern.
A great fit for The Forum
“As we continue energizing The Forum with new experiences for guests, Nando’s PERi-PERi stood out as an international favorite that would excite the community,” said Adam Schewgman, director and head of retail leasing at Jamestown. “From the inventive menu options to the meticulously selected design elements, we’re looking forward to giving visitors a taste of South Africa right here in Peachtree Corners.”
About Nando’s PERi-PERi
Since making its 1987 debut in Johannesburg, South Africa, Nando’s has spread its flame to legions of fans in 24 countries on five continents. The company entered the US market in 2008 with the opening of its first location in Washington, D.C., and now operates nearly 50 restaurants in and around Virginia, Maryland, Washington, Chicago, Texas and now Georgia.

Metro Atlanta’s food scene is a tapestry of flavors, cultures and culinary creativity. Long known for its traditional Southern fare, recent years have also seen an increase in the number of restaurants — both independent and franchise — showcasing international, fusion or new South cuisines opening throughout the city.
While the busy food halls and trendy eateries in Midtown and Buckhead may get a lot of press, the northern suburbs, including Peachtree Corners, Norcross and Duluth, are experiencing a culinary Renaissance of their own.
Dozens of new and exciting restaurants have opened in Peachtree Corners over the last few years, with more planned for 2025.
Reflecting the eclectic tastes of a growing community, places like Stäge, H&W Steakhouse, and Fire & Stone Italian Pizza Kitchen have joined long-standing favorites such as J. Alexander’s and Taqueria del Mar in finding a following.
The upcoming scheduled openings of Golestan, Sei Ryu and the multi-restaurant lineup at The Forum’s new Politan Row has only added to the buzz around dining in Peachtree Corners.
With so many incredible places to choose from, figuring out where to enjoy your next lunch or dinner out can be a challenge. So, we turned to a few experts for help. And who knows the local food scene better than the influencers who get out, taste and share their thoughts on the latest and greatest spots in the city?
The following foodies answered the call to share some of their picks for must-try restaurants in Peachtree Corners and Norcross, with choices that offer something for just about every taste.
From Southern favorites to sushi, seafood, steak and more, these are a few of the local restaurants to check out — or revisit — in 2025.

Dahlia’s Restaurant & Porch
One of Peachtree Corners newest restaurants, Dahlia’s Restaurant & Porch serves Southern American fare in the heart of the city. The setting is casual, and they often have live music in the evenings, which is a nice touch. They also have a beautiful patio, so be sure to dine outside when you can to truly enjoy the facilities.
On my most recent visit, I ordered the Bourbon Glazed Peach Pork Belly, Grilled Steak, Red Chile Glazed Shrimp and Bourbon Pork Tenderloin. The shrimp was crispy and flavorful, and you can’t go wrong with steak!

Stäge Kitchen & Bar
This was our third visit to Stäge Kitchen & Bar, and once again, it did not disappoint. The quality of the sushi here remains absolutely incredible. Every roll is fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented, showcasing the attention to detail that sets this place apart.
The consistency of the flavors and the impeccable service make it a standout spot. Whether you’re a sushi aficionado or just starting to explore Japanese cuisine, Stäge delivers an experience that keeps you coming back.
Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking high-quality sushi in a welcoming atmosphere!
The Spider-man, Phoenix, Hotel California, Smoking Gun, Tsunami and Goku rolls were melt-in-your-mouth good! (My personal favorites were the Hotel California and the Phoenix.)
We loved their calamari and grilled Spanish octopus. Both were very flavorful and fresh.
The Lychee Martini and Whiskey Sour were the best drinks we’ve had in a while — strong but perfectly not-too-sweet that will warm you up.
And you need to get the brownie as the complimentary dessert; It’s our favorite!

H&W Steakhouse
One of the BEST meals we had in 2023 and one of the best new restaurants we’ve dined at overall is hands down H&W Steakhouse in Peachtree Corners.
This stunning, fine-dining steakhouse is located 30 minutes outside of Atlanta and is one of the most beautiful restaurants we dined at [last] year.
Serving everything from high-end steaks to luxury delicacies like caviar and A5 Japanese Wagyu, with over-the-top, tableside presentations, you will be absolutely blown away by your meal there.
You also have to end the meal with their famous Turtle Gelato Pie and Carajillo (a Spanish coffee cocktail made with espresso and liquor)! Both were absolutely phenomenal and a great way to end an amazing dinner.

Pêche Modern Coastal
Good cheese needs good companions!
Our long overdue Girls’ Night Out led us to Pêche Modern Coastal where we had a cheesy good time.
We started our night with a cheese board and croissants followed by the Beet Cannelloni and Burrata and Peach salad from their small plates menu.
For our entree, we had the Truffle Pasta, which was delicious.
I loved the patio at Pêche. We hung out [there] even after they closed. I can’t wait for spring and summer to come so I can enjoy it again.

Super Banh Mi Pho
I finally got to try Super Banh Mi Pho, and I’m definitely coming back!
This Vietnamese restaurant has been on my list to try, and everything we got was so good! Some of my favorites are their banh mi and pho, which are made with fresh ingredients. The broth was so good, and adding in all the fresh ingredients made it taste even better!
Editor’s note: Serving traditional Vietnamese dishes, the family-run Super Banh Mi Pho has developed a following among local foodies not just for its excellent food, but for its buzzworthy Dragon Ball Z décor, lively atmosphere and fun events.
