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!

Ambiance: 8
Great location and decor. This was formerly Lola.

Food Quality: 4
Quality of meat was good, but the dishes weren't that great. I tried several tacos and found them mediocre at best.

Queso con Carne - good
Fish Taco - decent
Trailer Park - bland
Veggie Taco - veggies were overcooked and soggy

Greg had the Pork taco, Lamb taco and Double Decker

We also had the Chocolate Bread pudding which was pretty good. It was moist with just the right amount of flavor.

Service: 8
Promptly seated and greeted. Ordered the queso w/beef and it was delivered within a few minutes, not to mention the salsa and chips which were delivered nearly immediately after placing our drink order.

Value: 7
