My observation of Chef Zach and Chef Jonathan... they were always intensely focused except at the end of service saying thanks for coming and sharing a beer by Sweetwater/Ryan Hidinger - Second Helping IPA.

Chef Zach and Jonathan were always intensely focused on making sure every plate went out right. Highly recommend a dinner at the bar to see how the two work; it’s an impressive sight.

These were just a few of my favorite things… come hungry, leave happy, and as Better Half puts it, “Get Fed.” Images of the exterior and interior can be found at my images posted on Eater Atlanta .

The Dark Stuff

 

Been coming here for years upon years while schooling across the street. This place has it all. A staff well skilled in their trade, the cool college hangout, and a good selection of food / drinks. Most importantly, its consistent. Was chatting with the server about coffee and I noticed that they had a new array of liquor on their top shelf. Told him I am a fan of the Old Rip Van Winkle and that’s when he recommended that I try Colonel E.H. Taylor. I really liked it. I’m just worried it will be just as hard to find as Old Rip Van Winkle…
