sunO
The Jake’s ice cream at Clairmont & North Decatur closed and was quickly replaced by a SunO. SunO, from what I can tell, is an Asian dessert spot. Their main product is a form of shaved ice/shaved ice cream that is lighter than frozen yogurt. You pick your flavor (original, strawberry, chocolate or mango), pick a topping, and pick a syrup. We let the cashier help us out and ended up with...

the sound table
The Sound Table is the newest restaurant/club from the owners of Top Flr. It’s in the Old 4th Ward and the bottom floor is a bar/club with a DJ booth, while the second story hosts the dining room. We visited on a quiet Monday, so we had dinner downstairs where we could enjoy the DJ and the atmosphere.
The menu is one of those amazing ones where everything sounds good. It’s supposed to...

on the road: terminal brewhouse
I took a road trip two weeks ago to Bowling Green, KY. On the way home, we stopped in Chattanooga, TN for a late lunch. If you know me at all, you know I was scouting locations on my iPhone as we approached the city. I picked Terminal Brewhouse, a local microbrewery.
I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone stopping through Chattanooga. They brew their own beer, and it’s not too...

bookhouse pub
I had read a lot of praise for The Bookhouse Pub from some of my favorite food writers in Atlanta. Especially the “Locavore Monday” nights. So I was slightly disappointed to learn that the chef, Julia LeRoy, had left the restaurant before I got a chance to try her food. I don’t know if they kept the same menu after she left, but I was frankly underwhelmed by the food.
I had a...

urban pl8
Fun, but not fabulous. I went to Urban Pl8 a few weeks ago with a group of friends before hitting an art gallery in west midtown. The menu consists of a few starters and then is divided between burgers and main plates. I had the “banh mi” burger, which was good, but not great. It had a few toppings reminiscent of banh mi, but failed to really capture the heart of that dish. We did have...
4th & Swift- update
I’ve been to 4th & Swift three times now, and loved it every time. It is always a restaurant I recommend to people, and one I can feel comfortable sending pretty much anyone to. For my earlier, full review click here.
Last week I started out with a cocktail. I’m always nervous ordering cocktails at restaurants because I’ve gotten spoiled by places like Top Flr, Cakes &...

murphy's- update
I ate at Murphy’s recently for Brian’s graduation day brunch/lunch. I know everyone has been to Murphy’s (and if you haven’t, I would definitely recommend it), so I won’t go over the basics.
I always get the crab cake sandwich. It’s just one of those dishes, that try as I might, I can’t stray from. I also tried the calamari and the flatbread appetizers...
bocado
I ate at Bocado for the second time this past weekend. The first time was shortly after it opened, and I had a lovely meal then. This time, the food was just as good, but I can’t say the same thing for the service.
We had an 8:30 reservation for a party of 3, but were kept waiting at the bar until 9. While there, the bartender was super nice and mixed me a drink that wasn’t on the...
