Quick post with two interesting meals I had recently. The uni carbonara at Octopus Bar has received a lot of rave reviews lately. After catching a show at the Earl on Friday, our group decided to grab a bite at Octopus Bar. While this was certainly an interesting take on carbonara, it didn’t wow me. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I prefer the braised rabbit cavatelli that we had the first time we came in. Still, if you’re in East Atlanta late at night, and you’re hungry, Octopus is a must.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Rosa Mexicano at Atlantic Station is a chain restaurant at a mall. But it’s wonderful. The tableside guacamole is some of the best guac I’ve ever had. They make their own tortillas in house. And this steak sandwich had delicious short ribs, crunchy bread, and addictive sweet potato fries.
