1. City of Atlanta
Atlanta, GA 30303
(404) 330-6004
Category:
Public Services & Government
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Milestone Yelp review (500!), so I chose to review the City of Atlanta. It's been about 2.5 years since I picked up my entire life and relocated to Atlanta, and while it hasn't been easy, I'm glad I did it. I like how the city is a juxtaposition of…More »

Categories:
Bakeries,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Old Fourth Ward
Trying out the breakfast/brunch a few times, all the experiences have been excellent. My fave so far is the traditional Highland Lite (eggs, potatoes, fruit), though I did try the peanut butter french toast (huge!!!!), eggs benedict, and from the…More »

Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhoods: Old Fourth Ward, Inman Park
Another solid offering from chef Kevin Rathbun- it was strange that I had never been here before, despite my many visits to Krog Bar and Rathbun's just down the street.
Full disclosure- It took Inman Park Restaurant Week special deal to lure me…More »
4. Zuma Sushi
Atlanta, GA 30312
(404) 522-2872
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Old Fourth Ward
Yummy rolls- good value, with most standard rolls around $5-6. As with most sushi places, service is quick. Decorated in modern sleek red and black- a nice cool respite on a hot day. Love the cool lighting in this place- they have fun hanging…More »

Swoon... the little cup of garlic butter goodness that came with my cheese pizza was to die for....why had I not received this before?!? Perfect for dipping the crust, or just covering the entire pizza slice with.
BTW, the pizza called "Sunshine"…More »

Neighbourhood: Old Fourth Ward
Good hearty food in giant portions. The fish in the fish and chips dish is about twice the size of most entrees, though the 3 giant "chips" were a little undersalted. I've also had the Thai spiced wings in past visits, which are delicious. Menu is…More »

Didn't like the gumbo- way salty and watery, though the flavor was ok. I loved the bread- served in a paper bag, the creamy butter (it tasted especially good, like home churned), and the cocktail named "Georgia Peach" (lemonade, sweet tea, peach…More »

Categories:
Mexican,

Neighbourhood: Inman Park
People don't really come here expecting authentic or cheap mexican food, do they? Judging from the other reviews, I guess some were. After driving by the past few weeks and seeing large crowds of hipsters and wannabes, I came expecting a scene and…More »
9. Fox Bros Bar-B-Q
Fox Bros BBQ sauce, ribs, pulled pork and the mac & cheese are still the best I've encountered. On this visit, I also encountered an appetizer called "the Tomminator", which are tater tots smothered in Brunswick stew(pork, corn, tomatoes) and a huge…More »

11. Fritti
Atlanta, GA 30307
(404) 880-9559
Trying to appease my violent craving for pizza, I hit up Fritti with too-high expectations for authentic napoli goodness. I ordered an arugula, olive and fried goat cheese salad to start and the Funghi di bosco (mushroom) pizza. The salad was…More »
12. WAX
3 years and many Yelp reviews later, I am still a happy patron at Wax! I had forgotten I was the first to review here...they had just opened when I moved to Inman Park, and they seem to be thriving, along with the rest of the neighborhood.
While I'm…More »

Neighbourhoods: Old Fourth Ward, Inman Park
Gotta update with their best value- their $1.95 "Dolci" section on the menu a.k.a. their desserts! Their flourless chocolate cake w/ sea salt & EVOO is a small slice of lethal chocolicious heaven...very rich, and very delicious! Been back a couple…More »

Saw Theatersports improv show a couple times with different improv-ers...a great time and authentically funny! Dad's Garage has an organic, slapped together type of feel with volunteers who staff the place. Cheap beers, snacks & beverages are a…More »

I finally tried the Aztec spiced hot chocolate, topped with handmade marshmallows. I've been wanting to try this for awhile, especially when it appeared on Creative Loafing's list of Atlanta's dishes to try before you die. I'm not a hot chocolate…More »

To be honest, I expected much more, based on so many rave reviews about this place. Despite passing Miso Izakaya everyday on my way home from work, I've somehow managed to have never visited for dinner until now.
Snow pea shoots- not bad, but I had…More »
18. Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room & Ping Pong Emporium
One of the more interesting and unique places to frequent in Atlanta, with great people watching (eclectic and mixed crowd, though heavy on the hipsters frequenting this establishment). This place does a number on the senses...I could also spend all…More »

Stopped in for drinks- neighborhood bar kind of vibe, and it reminded me of lots of bars from when I lived in the Boston area (Watertown, Brighton & Cambridge came to mind). I like the laidback casual vibe but I'd probably stick to drinks instead…More »
20. Il Localino
OMG, leave me alone...I was starving on July 4th so I ducked into what I thought would be an unassuming italian restaurant to grab a plate of pasta before heading home. Instead, the Italian staff practically attacked me, shoved me to a table in the…More »

eh...not impressed by their supposedly famous fried chicken & cornbread. I didn't really like the mushroom broth that rendered the crispy fried chicken soggy. I didn't like the collard greens either...pretty disappointed in my last visits to…More »

I tried the Hambo- prosciutto, green apple, arugula, mozzarella & balsamic- all pressed between foccacia bread. Tasty, and served with crunchy chips that have a dash of black pepper and onion. Smaller, but for me it was a perfect size.

One more update- Gekko now has a happy hour menu 5:30-7:00 everyday so I can eat all the same delicious sushi I crave all the time, at half the price! They have a pretty good reduced price menu with rolls, nigiri, and of course, libations :) Since…More »

Recently updated lists from Lucy W.
Making myself pretty (or at the very least- not scary) (10)I don't wake up looking like this...I gotta work at it. OK, not "work" per se, more like "pay" for it. |
Decatur (9)Tons of great places to eat & imbibe...all within walking distance of a square. |
Tastes of the Far East (20)Asian restaurants in Atlanta- I'm slowly compiling reviews from all the Asian restaurants I've tried in Atlanta- Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc...no 5-stars yet but plenty of 2-3-4 star places. |
Carbo Loading- Italian Style (Atlanta) (9)Italian dining in Atlanta has made me a little gun shy...while I love Italian food, I had a couple awful Italian food experiences when I first arrived in this city and usually end up at the same 2-3 Italian places I do like...so hopefully, making a list will encourage me to try a few more restaurants out there. Here's all of what I tried (minus the pizza places). |
Desert weekend getaway (11)Arizona vacation- Quick relaxing getaway, I need to make this a regular vacation destination! |
Party of one! Dining solo (19)Places in Atlanta where I've felt comfortable dining by myself. The only requirement is that there's a bar or small tables off to the side- nice bartenders, easy parking and good people watching areas also are a plus. For me personally, It's also nice to have no judgment or people staring if I want to order multiple dishes to try and bring leftovers home :) |
Restaurants to bring out-of-towners (14)Here's where I've brought family & friends visiting from out of town, who want some type of Atlanta food experience |
Being a tourist in Atlanta (13)I moved to Atlanta 2 years ago but I still enjoy exploring the city like a tourist. |
Dim Sum Quest- Atlanta (8)UPDATE: Found great dim sum!!!! See my last review on the list for Golden House.Original list description: I've pretty much given up on this one...I don't think great dim sum exists in Atlanta (especially a la carte and to go) so I'll have to settle for just good dim sum. |
Escaping my office for lunch (8)When I'm sick of my office cafeteria, cross-eyed from staring at a computer screen, or my butt is numb from sitting on my swivel chair, here's where I go for lunch. |
