Since Michael Tuohy has left the building for good like Elvis... how good could it be under new ownership? Well, if they were smart they would keep the staff that worked under him... and like Graceland, they did. The kitchen and service were spot on... just a little timing issue but nothing that can't be fixed.
The first wine tasting with the new owners proved positive... for the future of this Atlanta icon. I hope they will continue on the tradition of locally sourced food because the reviews all have been nothing short of spectacular. Just one of the most consistent and creative resto in da ATL.
Take a gander of the grub that were paired with the flights of Viognier...
Veggie Assortment: Indian spiced okra & tomatoes, rattlesnake pole beans, fromage blanc stuffed Anaheim chile.
Pan Seared Sonoma Artisan Foie Gras, candied walnut pancakes, port wine-thyme glazed muscadines.
Pan Roasted Sonoma Artisan Duck Breast, chanterelle mushrooms, delicata squash, crushed pistachio, duck jus.
Crisp Fried Flat Creek Lodge Catfish stuffed with Georgia white shrimp, avocado mousseline, dried chile sauce.
Wood Grilled North Carolina "Poulet Rouge", wood oven morels, sweet herbs, white cheddar macaroni and cheese.
Pan Roasted South Carolina Mangrove Snapper, crispy Vidalia onion fritter, Indian spiced okra and small tomatoes.
I know, I know... WTF is up with the foie gras and duck bweast with white wines? Well, F U all! Sometimes things seem weird but it works... like a grilled PB&Banana sammie or just because I wanted it in my belly! I like to live on the edge, you can't stop me! I could seriously eat here on a weekly basis and do some damage to my wallet and bowels... you never know, one day Gastro might be found belly up over his throne. But at least he died like the King... a fat and happy little piglet in a velvet cape.
Oink Oink!
Burp!
