Atlanta Dining

Bitches please, I love East Atlanta.

Was at Midway Pub on Friday night.

Vickery's near Gunshow is a pretty cool spot.
 
Thanks Moon. Been to all those except Cakes and Miller Union. Might need to give Eugene another shot. On the Optimist, I have now been three times and each time sucked. First made me sick, second was just bad and third was a joke (2nd and 3rd try were in groups and I just said WTF and went). Not going back.

Canoe is a thought, but it is BORING.

Have you been to Canoe after they started the River Bar? Pretty cool atmosphere and the food is always good.

What did you get at The Optimist that you didn't like? I am obsessed w/ that place but I have to say that I'd much rather have a lobster roll, she crap soup and shrimp toast than any of their entrees except the oxtail jam one (which isn't even on the menu anymore).
 
I'm picturing this scenario:



I took some of Governor Perdue's people to Busy Bee one time when Carver's was closed (I think they were on vacation). I think the music stopped when we walked inside.

From the raw bar, ordered boiled shrimp (peel and eats). They came out raw. Raw shrimp is not good. Puked.
Next time was nasty black bass
Last time was fish and chips. Thought I would be safe, but I would have done better getting a fila of fish from MCD's. Place sucks balls.
I did see Sir Charles in there with a nice piece of ass. She was older than I would have expected but maybe she was an escort.
 
Canoe is my all-time favorite restaurant in Atlanta. I've never had a bad meal or a bad experience there. Atlanta Fish is good, but the atmosphere is much better at Canoe.

That's terrible. You should write the owners, at least get you a certificate for dinner at 246 or one of their other restaurants.
 
Add Bistro Niko to a great place for an anniversary.
 
Love Niko. Went there for NYE dinner this year.

Oh man, I might have to look into that if we are in town. I've gone to the mountains the last couple of NYEs.

Niko has great service, I really appreciate that sometimes.
 
Bistro Niko is good...had some Van Winkle 12yr the last time I was there...it was a couple of years ago though.

Heading to Iberian Pig tonight.

Beers at Brick Store afterwards...a good night.

Well done!

I want to give Iberian another shot, I wasn't in love w/ it the first time around. Still haven't been to Cakes and Ale, damn damn damn
 
For the foodie crowd we have here, I'm surprised a bunch of y'all haven't been to Cakes & Ale. Definitely one of my Decatur favorites.


Any opinions on Pinewood? Went once and loved it, went again and was kind of meh. Cocktails were fantastic both times, but I was disappointed in the food the second time.
 
Think we are going to go to Aria tonight for the Anniversary. Havent been in years and we always liked it.

Try not to get too upset when one of the Buckhead geriatrics croaks face down in her bowl of Vichyssoise soup.

Ford Fry has definitely put together a nice little collection of restaurants with 246, JCT and the Optimist. The exec chef at K & D is moving over from JCT. The wife's office is in this complex, so I am sure we will be hitting it soon.
