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!

6 Overall Rating - Village Tavern 4/29/11

Dinner with Rosie

Ambiance: 7
Village Tavern offers a slightly darker, comfortable environment. We were tucked away in a small booth near the back of the restaurant. There's a large bar off to your left as you enter through the doors. This isn't a bad choice at all for a suburban stop.



Food Quality: 5
Colorado Chips (homemade potato chips with melted cheese, bacon & bbq sauce) was mediocre. The bbq sauce made the dish palatable. If it weren’t for the sauce, the dish would have been dry and bland.


The tuna tartare was only average.
The bacon-wrapped scallops served on top of a strip of seaweed were delicious, boasting succulent flavors from the scallops and bacon. The sauce was magnificent adding a different dimension to the dish. The sauce can be a bit overpowering, so would recommend that they only lightly top the scallops with the sauce instead of drizzling it on.
I also had their Shoestring French Fries...they were absolutely delicious!!! Just like Steak & Shake!


Rosie had a steak and baked potato.






Service: 7
Server had a good personality and had a good handle on the menu.

Value: 8
Loved the menu.
