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 Jeffrey

Ambiance: 8
Buckhead location in a renovated home. Hardwoods throughout the bar and restaurant. Quaint, small and intimate. Personable staff from the owner to the servers.

Food Quality: 7
Jeffrey loved his meatball appetizer and spinach/ricotta ravioli covered w/meat sauce. I started with beef carpaccio, settled in with tomato sauce gnocchi and finished w/the panna cotta topped w/strawberries. Panna cotta was delicious - creamy, yet guilt-free (so I like to think!).

Service: 10
2 servers, very professional. Attentive. Drinks refilled without request (as I learned from my brother, this is a great indicator of service).

Value: 7
