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: 8
We were impressed with their ability to convert an old Wendy's establishment into a trendy hot spot. I loved the kitchen and bar decor. Restrooms and restaurant were clean and well kept.....big points with me!

Food Quality: 6
The Panko Salmon was fantastic. The other items were average; we had the Bravas, Tostada, and Crab Empanada.

Service: 9
Matt did a great job. He was patient, checked in regularly with our table and was obviously knowledgeable of the menu.

Value: 7
Some items were reasonably priced, but several tapas items were on the high side.
