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!

Chops Lobster Bar 11/11/22

We ordered the Tomahawk steak priced at $132. Unlike many others, this was not an aged tomahawk steak but it was seasoned perfectly and earned 5th place on our family's list. Overall this was a fantastic experience! Nearly every dish was excellent and the service was impeccable. Our server Matthew, assisted by Tyler, were absolutely fantastic throughout the evening. We also had their special appetizer tonight - the 5 ounce blue crab claw - which was absolutely superb, served with a sweet mustard remoulade for $39. The escargot with puff pastry for $18 was fantastic, but their wedge salad was average at best. Their specialty hashed potato tots with blue cheese truffle aioli was tasty and then we finished the meal with the white chocolate banana pie.
