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: 7
Azul offers a great ambiance with its beautiful wood trim throughout the dining room. The location is bad, however. As you're traveling east on Old Milton Parkway, you have to make a U-turn in order to get to the parking lot.

Unfortunately, the restaurant was nearly empty aside from our table and just a couple others. The restaurant has potential, but it may face the same outcome as its predecessors.

Food Quality: 7
The food was pretty good. I liked the tofu veggie fajitas. The only complaint from our table was that the drinks were small and diluted.

Service: 9
Our server, Mark, was extremely attentive. The girls call him "sneaky" because he was always at our table. He waited near our table while I put my leftovers in a box and he was quick to remove the dirty dishes. I guess you could argue that with so few tables in the restaurant, the service should have been impeccable.

Value: 7
