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!

This is the perfect energetic, neighborhood spot conveniently located in the Kroger shopping center on Sandy Springs Place. The music selection was great, creating a fun & upbeat climate with the volume set just right to enjoy the music while still allowing diners to easily converse at the table.

Food Quality: 8
Casual food...everything was delicious. I had three different tacos: the BLT, the Fish and the Steak Fajita. The BLT taco came with a generous portion of bacon and fried green tomatoes – yummy! The fish taco was served with jalapeño coleslaw and slices of jalapeños – spicy & tasty! The steak fajitas were just what you would expect, with a little sweetness and a little kick.

Service: 5
Our server was polite, but didn’t really know the menu. We had a few questions about the menu and had to point a few things out to him when he didn’t understand what we were asking about or why we were asking for specials. He seemed new, judging from his nervousness and the fact that he forgot to bring our drinks to us; although I will give him some points for splitting the bill for us and even splitting the appetizer 3-ways.

Value: 8
