Eager to try Decatur’s new Indian restaurant, Chai Pani, I visited two Saturdays ago with Brendan and two friends of ours, Mike and Amanda. We certainly weren’t the only ones
It’s about time I get back to posting – Atlanta’s ever-expanding food scene gives me plenty to write about. I’ll begin with a quick review of H. Harper Station, which I first visited in May for a cocktail class led by mixologist and owner, Jerry Slater. I learned how to make some killer cocktails and […]
It’s old news by now, but last month, Tierra‘s owners announced that they are closing the restaurant on February 17. I was saddened by this news because I have thoroughly enjoyed the food at Tierra. We do not have many Latin American restaurants around Atlanta, nor do we have many establishments with
There are a few new(ish) deals and discounts for you to look out for as 2012 begins…
My resolution for 2012 is to blog more often. And to stay away from holiday pre-fixe dinners. I recently dined with Brendan at Anis Bistro on New Years Eve. We considered a few options, which included Serpas, Local Three and 4th and Swift. In the end we chose Anis because the price was in the […]

I had the chance to get to Goin’ Coastal last Thursday for Midtown Restaurant Week. Overall, I would say it was a satisfying experience. There were several choices for each course, which is rare for a restaurant week deal. The portions for the appetizers and dessert were a bit on the small size, but both […]
I’ve already raved about Molto Mondays in an earlier post, but I have to mention it again after another great Monday dinner at La Tavola. Or at least, share some pictures. The two $10 pastas we tried last night: Tagliolini Cacio e Pepe (fettucini-like egg noodles with Pecorino Romana and fresh pepper) and Basil Risotto […]
