The food and atmosphere is just what this difficult to occupy restaurant location on Peachtree needed.
I used to live in this area, so I have been to this location before - as Toulouse and Taqueria Tsunami. Both good restaurants in their own right. Both had to eventually close or move to a different location mainly because if you don't know about this spot, you will drive right by it.
The service was good and the food was excellent. We rarely get nights out alone, so we tend to splurge a bit when we go out. To start we tried the green pea empañada and the pimento cheese sample board. The empañada was delicious - it comes with a homemade cayenne pepper sauce and creme fraiche, both very tasty. The pastry was perfectly crispy and flaky, not dry at all, and the combination of ingredients inside are delightful. The pimento cheese board was amazing. You get plenty of grilled bread to sample a mostly mild and delicious pimento cheese, along with a slew of other surpises carefully placed around the board, including: tomato, bacon jam, an onion jam, pickles, pickled vegetables, true grain mustard and I bleieve some more creme fraiche.
Main course was chicken schnitzel wih her spaeztl. She took a single breath between bites to tell me how amazing it was before it was all gone. I had the 18 hour pork ravioli. So as you may have guessed, the pork inside the ravioli is cooked and smoked for 18 hours, and the taste was just what you would come to expect - fully smoky and flavorful. It was served in a broth with diced vegetables and onion. A wonderfully, savory dish.
Our dessert - a chocolate buttermilk pie - was so good, we asked the kitchen if they would make us a whole one for our Thanksgiving dinner. They agreed, and we are thrilled. It's honestly worth coming here just to try a piece of that pie.
Excellent experience all around - would highly recommend, and we will be back.
