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: 4
I didn't go inside so I can't comment on the interior; however it looked pretty nice. The tables were covered with white tablecloths. The evening was too perfect to pass up with temperatures dropping into the mid-70's.

Food Quality: 8
Appetizers were mediocre. Ordered the sampler which came with the Shirazi Salad, Kash-O-Bademjan, Mirza Qasemi and Dolmeh (Stuffed grape leaves). The shirazi salad was bland, the grape leaves were peculiar; however, the eggplant was delicious.

For our entree, Greg and I split the sirloin kabob, barberry chicken rice dish and a side of vegetable kabob. Dinner was fantastic. The barberries added an unexpected tart flavor to the otherwise buttery and savory rice and chicken dish. It was a nice complement to the sirloin and vegetable kabob. I liked the fact that the kitchen removed all skewers, but was able to maintain the clean, straight line of a skewer.

Service: 8
Staff were friendly and very accommodating. At times, we were searching for our server. But for the most part, we were satisfied with the service.

Value: 7
Fair and reasonable for what you get.
