History

Atlanta, GA
So why create a blog? Well, those close to me know how passionate I am about my food...eating food, to be more precise. 15 years ago I discovered the joy of dining in restaurants which boast a unique ambiance and delicious food. I first started tracking lists of great restaurants when I lived in Columbus, OH in the mid 90's. I was fortunate to dine at Cameron Mitchell's, Fifty-Five, Bravo, Rigsby's, Barcelona, and many more. I read in local newspapers about the best Places to be Seen, to Celebrate, to Impress, etc. and formulated my "to try" list. This hobby continued in Birmingham, AL and again when my travels brought me to Atlanta, GA ten years ago. I started a Supper Club with close friends in 2000, trying a new restaurant every Thursday night. We had one simple rule in the club, “no chain restaurants”! After three years of stomping through Atlanta's best and worst restaurants, we realized that this weekly tradition was becoming too expensive to maintain (go figure!). However, in 2005 I started making notes of my dining experiences for personal reference. To make it easy for my friends to get my recommendations, I thought I would try blogging. So...here goes!

3.5 Overall Rating - Hyman's Seafood in Charleston 07/04/10




Lunch with Greg, Rosie & George

Ambiance: 6
Rating would have been a 2 without the following: rubbing salt in bathroom, Inspirational quotes printed on cards, long rocking bench, manager Dave stopping by) lots of unique qualities. The floor plan was compartmentalized, spread out on a couple floors, lots of seating tightly placed. Place is huge!!

Food Quality: 3
Ordered crab and shrimp dip, fried green tomatoes, and their house special grit patties w/crabmeat - all mediocre. Skimped on crackers too (for dip) requested more, but still didn't have enough.

Service: 7
Friendly. The manager, Dave, stopped by every table. the restaurant was canvassed with celebrity photos, name plates and articles. We had to request silverware and napkins.

Price: 9
Economically priced.
