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 Rosie and Jen

Ambiance: 9
9 rating for outdoor patio seating. The interior looked nice, but it was very loud. We were sitting at one of the few tables without an umbrella. Shortly after our entrees were served, it started to lightly rain. We tried to wait it out, but then we had this grand idea of picking up our table and carrying it to an area underneath the building's awning. It was perfect, quite honestly. There was a nice bench along the building under the awning and we pulled the table up to the bench, pulled up two chairs for Jen and Rosie, and completed our dinner there. It was such a great idea that another table of quickly followed and set up their table next to us!

Food Quality: 7
Enjoyed the fried green tomatoes and homemade blue cheese potato chips. Rosie ordered the scallops - 7, Jen ordered the blackened shrimp relish salad - 7, and I had the fried catfish w/cole slaw and hush puppies. The catfish was good and cole slaw was some of the best I've ever had. Desserts were delicious, we ordered the krispy kreme banana pudding, white chocolate banana pudding and fried peach pie!

Service: 8

Value: 9
$111 before tip for all three of us
