"Tropical-looking green plants and Santorini blues color the patio at Inman Park’s Kitty Dare. It feels so much like a warm, Aegean escape that you might be inclined to start checking flight prices to Greece halfway through your herbal, citrusy Hommas cocktail. But before you can even get to that you’ll have to explore the expansive Mediterranean fusion menu, which features everything from good koobideh kabobs to bucatini and shrimp served with thick, garlicky noodles. The amount of choices can feel overwhelming, so here’s a tip: bring friends to split more things and definitely get the savory, cumin-spiced eggplant dip." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard
