Tiny Bistro Restaurant Review – Westside In Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Tiny Bistro is a new café just off the beaten path in the midtown/westside part of town. It’s pretty well hidden given that it faces the intersection of 8th and Marietta St. In fact, it’s so easy to miss that Adam, a FB guest blogger , and I were pretty sure we were going to …

So I guess this is my first ever “live review.” I just sat down here at the newly opened Noon Midtown, the Katie Birmingham experiment over in the newly built 1010 Peachtree Building. The space is “airy” and open … clean lines and very slick decor. Me likee. It sort of reminds me of One …

One Flew South Restaurant Review At Hartsfield-Jackson Airport In Atlanta [First Impressions]
A restaurant review from the airport? Yup yup! My return flight landed just after 8:00 in the Post Meridian; the ideal time to go grab a bite. So I took the opportunity to check out One Flew South, the newly opened “fine dining” experience over in the E Terminal. Damn Delta for landing me in …
The Nook Restaurant Review – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
For the longest time, my previous rants on The Nook occupied the top spots on my popular posts list. As that list is based on the number of page views (aka – number of times someone read(s) each post), it was a bit of a surprise. Those writings were nothing more than news blurbs on …

First Impressions: Violette Restaurant Review – Druid Hills, Atlanta, GA
Until last night, I was shamefully ignorant to the tragic history of Violette restaurant. The short of the long is that proprietor Guy Long, a native of Alsace-Lorraine, came to the United States after his mother passed. In 1989, he met Stephanie Belcher and from that that meeting, a relationship flourished. Eventually, the two became …

Even before the kitchen opened to the public, Leon’s Full Service endeared itself to the Decatur dining scene.
