Off to a great start at the newest offering in Atlanta’s Midtown West. An Italian “inspired” restaurant by chef Jonathan Waxman, who humbly puts his initials on the menu specials.
The restaurant offers a small market area, a large, open dining room and kitchen with a nice patio and large bar.
Great bar with wonderful service, classic cocktails and a concise but good wine list. We also tried the braised pork & veal meatball, served over mascarpone grits… very good start.
Our friends arrived and we chose our dinner and appetizers from a nice but limited menu. I must say that everyone was very pleased with their choices. The gnocchi was good, the flank steak was tender, but I was somewhat disappointed.
I ordered the “new” item on the menu… the “Gulf Mahi farro. Offered with radish, herb salad and a brown butter vinaigrette it sounded promising. What I received was was a small narrow piece of “over cooked”, lukewarm piece of tough fish. Very disappointed.
Even though I personally had a bad experience, I am willing to give them another try. Maybe I’ll just hangout at the bar with John. 👍
