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!

Dined with Tema, Brian and Greg



Ambiance: 8
Parish features exposed brick walls with a semi-demo'd sheet rock design. It's a casual restaurant that does a nice job creating a farmhouse environment. Enjoyed the unplugged live music, but it was too loud to comfortably converse at the table.

Food Quality: 5
Brian loved his creole frites, served w/red pepper sauce and worcestershire sauce. Tema and I both enjoyed our milk and honey salad - very nice. My buttermilk fried chicken was average, served w/grits and pickled veggies. Greg enjoyed his catfish stuffed w/crawfish and crab. Brian's pea and carrot ravioli portion was too small for my liking (of course), but he said it was very good. The menu selection was limited and I wasn't too impressed with many of the ingredients in the dishes.

Service: 6
Slow to refill my water.
