Rathbun’s Steak

Date July 13, 2008

I think our Prius was certainly the cheapest car in the parking lot when we left this place on Saturday night. Yet, I am proud to say, it most certainly got the best gas mileage of any of the over sized very expensive cars parked there.
Kevin Rathbun’s Steak is located (and certainly boasted about) […]

Girl’s Night at The Shed

Date June 29, 2008

A few friends celebrated Lea’s birthday (she is over 30-that is all I will say) at The Shed , a new restaurant in Glenwood Park. We walked in to what is a very nice fresh, simple dining area and bar. The two t.v.’s over the bar were a bit large for the place […]

Abita Beer and Homemade Pickles - Yum

Date June 11, 2008

On a whim - while driving on Highland, the completely re-developed strip in Inman Park - Ashley and I decided to drop in to one of the new Atlanta restaurants on that road – Parish Foods and Goods. Not Perish – as in death, but Parish – as in the geographic boundaries used […]

Looking for a New Mexican Restaurant?

Date May 23, 2008

Well, if you are, then get ready for this one. Opening the first week of June by Kristen and Michael Benoit of The Vortex Bar and Grill fame, this Mexican restaurant is going to kick some butt. Touted as an authentic Mexican eatery, the Bone Garden Cantina is inside the Lumber Yard Complex […]

Allegro - Midtown’s Newest Italian

Date April 7, 2008

Eric and Michelle discuss world peace as they sip on their cocktails.
Two other couples met Alison and me on Saturday night for an evening at Allegro. I had been searching on-line for something new to try and sent out Allegro’s link to our friends. Michelle said it looked “hot,” so we decided to […]

Mexican For Everyone

Date April 7, 2008

We love Cantina La Casita in the East Atlanta Village  We usually end up at the bar watching football on their really crappy HDTV - but who cares about that.  What we  go for is the good authentic Mexican food (from the cooks’ family recipes) and of course the Margaritas for Two.  I don’t know […]

Le Petit Marche’ (The Little Market) Rocks

Date March 10, 2008

Brutus and Little Girl wish they could enjoy The Little Market as much as I did…
I have always wanted to open a great market that serves sandwiches and snotty things like cheeses, olives, lotions, and fabulous honey, but alas, I have never done it. Well, thank goodness, Ms. Marchet Sparks has! […]

Loca Luna - Live From Miami…

Date March 4, 2008

I really have always loved Loca Luna. In fact, Alison and I had our Celebration (unlawful wedding) there when it was located on Juniper Street. That Loca Luna was great with dark colors - as in “starry night” colors. Paintings across the walls of the bar area depicted a moonlit evening […]

Wisteria-Snotty Southern Food Served With Sweet Southern Hospitality

Date January 29, 2008

Alison and I have a few favorite restaurants in Atlanta -but the one that we truly never tire of is Wisteria. In fact, it is like our home away from home. Nestled in the Virginia Highlands (near the Freedom Parkway), the intimate atmosphere draws you in. We love the wait staff, especially […]

Decatur Date Night - to Cafe Alsace and The Chocolate Bar

Date November 19, 2007

Decatur - Atlanta’s little sister city - is a great place to stroll around and enjoy a weekend evening.  This past Saturday, we enjoyed a nice meal at Cafe Alsace, a tiny French restaurant celebrating 10 years in Decatur, followed by dessert and drinks at a new arrival - The Chocolate Bar. 
Cafe Alsace is the epitome […]
