The Scene
Follow this landmark's plank walkway into a richly detailed wharf scene centered on a full-scale cutaway of a sailing ship. Below it sits a 1906 Steinway grand piano. Lanterns glow along narrow passageways and crocodiles glide through a lurid pool. Distinguished Buckhead types soak up the atmosphere from the bar, while the international business crowd shout requests to the band

The Food
It's easy to have misgivings about a menu that highlights strawberry daiquiris in souvenir glasses and fondue. However, classic cheese fondue--a popular starter--blends Gruyere and Emmenthaler cheeses with a jagged hint of kirsch. Served with hunks of sweet brown bread and cold, crisp apple slices, it's an instant crowd-pleaser. Centerpiece beef fondue offers a half-pound of rosy tenderloin, a small tray of yellow squash, button mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, and four dipping sauces. For dessert, try a slice of creamy New York-style cheesecake
