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!

Tema, Brian and Greg



Ambiance: 3
Casual, which was perfect for what we wanted tonight. Bar/restaurant environment. We sat outside in their covered patio area. Although there was an industrial quality heater/blower installed above us, we were very cold. We spent a good part of the night standing up near our table just so we could feel the heat blowing from the unit.

Food Quality: 6
Great menu with lots of variety! Absolutely loved the quotes scattered throughout the menu! Be sure to take the time to read them; they’re quite humorous. Tema and I were amazed by the number of creative salad options on the menu despite all the other “not so health-conscious” items offered. There’s definitely something on the menu for everyone, whether you’re trying to watch your calories or seeking a little grease or just something heavier.

We shared an order of fried pickles…interesting:-0.
Tema ordered the Roman Holiday for her entrée, one of the many house favorites according to our server. I treated myself to Fish & Chips, which was average, but I did especially like their cole slaw & tartar sauce.

Service: 10
Our server was quite fantastic. He was very helpful with recommendations, patient & friendly. We received prompt service and all but one drink request were responded to with great speed. I appreciated the efficiency with which they operate!

Value: 8
Good value. There were several low-cost items on the menu. Split appetizer, 2 cocktails, 2 entrees for $54 (including tip).
