Atlanta’s 2025 Eater Award Winners | Eater Atlanta

"A casual wine bar with serious finds, this Poncey-Highland hangout arrived to big anticipation and delivered, complete with sommelier Jade Palmer’s secret, hand-written reserve list tucked in a diary that’ll make you melt. James Beard Award winner Steven Satterfield and restaurateur Neal McCarthy teamed with sommelier Tim Willard to spotlight a short, ever-updating reserve list poured by the half-glass — think 2016 Paolo Bea Arboreus Bianco, 2001 Henriques and Henriques Sercial single harvest, and 2010 Daniel Etienne Defaix Chablis 1er Cru. Don’t sleep on the simple cocktails, especially the white rum and tonic, which carries surprising weight while staying refreshing. Food puts wine first with small plates (and a few larger portions from chef de cuisine Ollie Honderd): crispy panisse for $8 that channels Sicilian bar snacks and a savory anchovy tartine for $13, plus a new weekend lunch with a burger, omelet, and steak frites. It’s the spot to grab a small bite and a drink after work, hang with neighbors, and spot unicorns on the menu — and it recently picked up its first Michelin recommendation." - Henna Bakshi
