Holeman & Finch Public House – Atlanta, GA
About a week ago, after church when we had zero chance of getting there before the crowds, it occurred to me just how long it had been since we had been to Holeman & Finch Public House for their fabulous burgers, so we made plans to go today. When we arrived about 11:15 (they open […]
Watershed on Peachtree – Atlanta, GA
On a Saturday morning, as we lazed around the house, we decided to head toward the city for brunch. I consulted Open Table looking for a spot, and grabbed a noon table for two at Watershed. We’ve been fans of Watershed for years, but we hadn’t been since they moved downtown. We actually drove by […]
Local Three Kitchen & Bar (An Update) – Atlanta, GA
If I had a way to make a blog post sing, this one would sing Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” with the fervor of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The brunch buffet is back at Local Three Kitchen & Bar! A couple of months back, I spoke of Local Three, praising the food and lamenting the loss of […]
Farm Burger – Atlanta, GA
I have wanted to try Farm Burger, in Decatur, since right after it opened. This afternoon, being given the freedom to choose lunch, and realizing that FB had a location on Piedmont Road in Buckhead, the opportunity was taken. We arrived for a late lunch (around 2:30) and the joint was jumping. Apparently, everyone else […]
Local Three – Atlanta, GA
(This is actually a compendium of several visits) One of our favorite dinner / lunch spots is Muss & Turner’s in Vinings. When we saw that they were opening a new restaurant with chef Chris Hall, Local Three Kitchen & Bar, we got excited. They took over the old Jo-el space off Paces Ferry. Our […]
Aria – Atlanta, GA
Over the last several years, Aria has kind of faded from the limelight of Atlanta dining. Not because of a degradation of service or a decline in the quality of the food, but due to the overwhelming number of restaurants in Atlanta. Maybe it was the change in the dining scene focus to New Southern […]
Kyma – Atlanta, GA
To close out March, we went with good friends to Kyma. We had an early (6:15) reservation and as we arrived they took us straight to our table. The place was fairly empty, but it filled to about 75% of capacity during our visit I love when you’re at a restaurant where the waiter pays […]
Kaleidoscope Bistro & Pub – Atlanta, GA
One of the greatest opportunities / challenges to living in Atlanta is the sheer number of restaurants. Finding a new restaurant. Deciding if tonight is the night to try something new or whether you want to go to some place again that you’ve been before. But the biggest challenge is hearing about the new restaurants. […]
Restaurant Eugene – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. Several times over the last couple of years, when I was scrolling through the choices on Open Table, Restaurant Eugene has rolled across the radar. I’d look at the reservation slots, pull up the menu on-line and think, “one day, we’ll go there. Just not tomorrow, or Saturday night.” Finally, last […]
Holeman & Finch Public House – Atlanta, GA
Late in the summer of 2010, I kept hearing stories of the “secret” burgers that only appeared on the menu at Holeman & Finch Public House at 10:00 pm. And that they only made 24 per night. And that they sold out EVERY night. ((the Legend). I began plotting a way to end up there […]
