At first glance, C&S Seafood and Oyster bar is another in the long list of Atlanta restaurants that under delivers and over charges. As with all first impressions, it’s hard for any single diner, myself included, to ascertain the differences between systematic failure and the anomaly of a bad meal. If I had to venture …

Cypress Street Pint & Plate Restaurant Review – Midtown, Atlanta, GA
Overall:[rating:1.5] Part gastro pub, more neighborhood hangout, Cypress Street Pint & Plate has become a popular chill out zone in Midtown, Atlanta. As the term gastro pub has become completely overused, Cypress Street is really just a bar with a slightly elevated menu. In that thinking, some come for the food, some come for the …

Ri Ra Irish Pub Restaurant Review: Get Your Jig On – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
The 1080 block of Peachtree is bustling with new life. In the past few months, we’ve seen Noon Midtown start to serve up gourmet sandwiches and RA slice up some “progressive” sushi.

5 Seasons Brewing Company Restaurant Review: Still Stale And Annoying – Midtown, Atlanta
Overall:[rating:0] Despite my initial impression of 5 Seasons Brewing Company over in Midtown, Atlanta, I was both willing and able to make a return visit. In the two months since, I’ve made three return trips. To be honest, I’ll have a very hard time mustering up the guts for a 4th. As you may have …

Ra Ra Goes The Sushi: Ra Sushi Restaurant Opens – Midtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Light years ahead of Ru San’s, miles behind the likes of MF Sushibar and Sushi House Hayakawa, the Ra Sushi chain has expanded into the deep south. To establish their foothold, Ra has setup shop in the sparkly glowy 1010 Peachtree Building in Midtown Atlanta. RA’s menu is splattered with words like volcano, Godzilla, and …
Wisteria Restaurant Review – Inman Park, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
Last night, I had the pleasure of hitting Wisteria with CND. Unfortunately for Wisteria, the majority of the enjoyment was the company I was in and not the food I was served. Part first impression, part quick hits, this was my first full meal at Wisteria and my first visit of any kind in over …

Taqueria El Rey Del Taco: 24-Hour Tacos In Chamblee [Quick Hits]
Last week, a few of us got together for some lunch at Taqueria El Rey Del Taco. It seems almost like clockwork: once every handful of months, an Atlanta food blogger heads over to Buford Highway to grab some of ERDT’s lauded tacos. Last week was my turn.
Rolling Bones BBQ Meet Todd Richards: Restaurant Review – Downtown, Atlanta, GA [First Impressions]
The area of downtown surrounding Edgewood Ave doesn’t get a lot of love. For the most part, it is pretty dingy and it’s definitely not the safest of places. Still, the ‘hood does have some life, and Rolling Bones Barbecue has long been part of the reason to venture down there. The converted gas station …
Co’m Vietnamese Grill – Buford Highway, Atlanta, GA [A Review In Pictures]
Open roughly four years (at least by my count), Co’m Vietnamese Grill has become one of the de facto responses to the question: “Where do I go in Atlanta for good Vietnamese?” It is therefore no surprise that this BuHi hotspot now has a devout following and a satellite location.
