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: 5
Enjoyed the casual, open space. The table was perfect for our group. The twelve of us were seated in the corner of the bar at a high-top table.

Food Quality: 3
The scallops were cooked perfectly, but aside from the buttery flavor, there were no other flavors which made the dish rather bland.
The spaetzel needed a little more salt, but the onions in the dish were a nice twist. The dish was luke warm when served and then cold by the time I finished it.
The shrimp & grits were bland, but the polenta cake grit was nicely done with a great flavor.
The Ahi tuna seaweed salad was good.
The bread served with the mussels was hard, but the presentation was good. The dish was spicy with black pepper and slightly watered down.

Service: 3
The service wasn't slow through drinks, but it took a long time before our server took our order, then he disappeared after delivering dessert. the kitchen's executions was very fast, however, especially for a large group.
