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!

Dined with Becky and Kristin

Ambiance: 10
Elegant yet trendy, fairly small, acoustics were good for table conversation

Service: 10
Very efficient

Food Quality: 8
Great menu, daily change, interesting combinations and use of ingredients; but not over-the-top mouth watering; I would describe their food as something between the clean/freshness of AquaKnox and the richness of foods that I generally like (but shouldn't be eating)!

Price: Expensive.
$110 for my 5-course meal and 1 or 2 glasses of wine
Included steelhead, duck, cheese plate, grapefruit dessert and one other item which I couldn't remember. Yea, I'm sure Kristin and Becky could've shot me when I ordered the 5-course meal!
