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!

Ambiance: 5
The interior was on the trendier side, but the open industrial theme resulted in horrible acoustics. I really struggled to hear the conversation all evening. There was one bonus though, there plenty of self-parking spots available.

Food Quality: 3
Both Kristin and Becky really enjoyed their dinners. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my dinner. I didn't have an issue with the apple salad, but I thought it was overpriced. The pappardelle carbonara was bland. It should have been a slam dunk with the house cured bacon and parmesan. Although the pasta was cooked perfectly, it lacked flavor.

Service: 5
Had to request water first time. Our server also gave us the wrong bill.

Value: 6
