For anyone living in, or visiting the fine city of the Braves (Atlanta), put this restaurant on your list. It is absolutely a "don't miss it" kind of place.

The decor is a very cool, cutting edge style. We had a party of 16 and were in a private dining area, marked off by semi-sheer drapes. A video monitor hung on the wall showing all forms of landscapes, seascapes, etc. in lieu of the traditional pictures.

The food is innovative and definately not your typical steak and potato place. It is unlike any other restaurant that I have been to and certainly exceeded our wildest expectations. We were treated to a number of "gifts" from the kitchen, all delightful tidbits of whimsy.

From the "Cristal" tiny bacon cheeseburger appetizer to the Kobe beef ribeye, each course was beautifully and imaginatively presented, and a joy to eat. We were pleasantly satisfied and not "stuffed" from the multitude of offerings.

The wine list, while not exhaustive, was very well chosen, was reasonably priced given today's restaurant pricing and was thoughtfully presented. We ordered 4 seperate wine offerings including a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet to cover the wide variety presented within the menu.

The service was marvelous. Jeff, our server of the night, did a fabulous job, especially while handling 16 crazy people. He handled the meal beautifully, was extremely good at describing the foods to be offered, suggestions for choices and even the ingredients and preparations involved. A true professional and certainly amongst the best waiters that I have ever experienced.

Bravo to the place, the food and the personnel. Just could not have been finer.
