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!

Dinner with Amy!

Ambiance: 8
Great location on Canton St on the northern end of historic Roswell. We happened to pick a popular night…Roswell’s Alive after Five which occurs every 3rd Thursday from April - October. What a fun area!

Food Quality: 4


Started with their Crispy Calamari with Roasted Jalapeno & Apricot Drizzle. Good flavor – not too overpowering. However, I think they substituted the jalapeno with thinly sliced fried onion rings.




For my entrée, I had the Gorgonzola Gnocchi with Speck Ham, Grape Tomatoes, Cracked Olives & Caramelized Shallots. The dish was missing the shallots – one of the main ingredients I was looking forward to in this dish!



Service: 5
