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!

Went there again w/Greg.
Need to order mussels next time. Food quality not the best. Fries were undercooked and portabello sandwich w/added bacon was not good. Mushroom was too salty and they forgot the carmelized mushroom. Service very good, though.

4/28/10 - 6.5
Dined w/Amy & Uncle Kevin
This place stays busy. Full restaurant, good crowd. Ordered Fish 'n Chips and She-Crab Soup. Soup was very nice. Fries were awesome! Fish - large portion, good, but too greasy after all those fries. Cole Slaw had some KICK! Service great!
