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!

9 Overall Rating - Pepe's Grill in Cozumel 5/8/11

Todd, Marty, Greg & I dined at Pepe's on Sunday night after our Delta flight was cancelled. Pepe's was rightfully highly recommended by a few individuals. We were definitely glad we went!


Ambiance: 8
It was fun with the mariachi band. They were actually very good. Restrooms very clean and modern.
Food Quality: 9

Salad bar was lacking, but it was included with your entree so it's hard to complain.
The shrimp were enormous, succulent. The King Crab was deliciously sweet, served with butter, garlic butter and mayonnaise (a little odd).

Entree....10 for grilled shrimp and my King Crab.








My goodness - get a look at these things!!
Service: 10
Second to none! Our server and the wait staff were on top of things throughout the entire service. They cracked the entire crab for me (thank goodness because I'm still a rookie when it comes to crab legs)! Warm water in a dish with lime was brought for tableside service to clean our hands. Toothpicks served in a dish were brought to the table as well.


Value: 10
$76 for two
$39 for King Crab, salad bar comes with it!
