Holler & Dash & Hamilton

As a provider of keen insight into the obvious, Date Night has mentioned that Atlanta is quite the brunch town.  We have matinee tickets to Hamilton and we are not going to throw away our shot at having some brunch before the show.  West Egg is thrown around as a possibility, but then I remember… Read More Holler & Dash & Hamilton

Osteria del Figo: 10/18/13

Date Night gives you a double dose of fun tonight with fresh beer and fresh pasta. We find ourselves on the Westside again in a restaurant we have not visited for awhile. For our pre-dinner beers, we park at Osteria del Figo and start walking, and 7/10 mile later, we are at Monday Night Brewing.… Read More Osteria del Figo: 10/18/13

West & Mill: 10/4/13

Date Night ends a California travel hiatus with another hot date. We have been in Orange County, sampling the restaurants there. It’s tough to find a bad meal in California! Staying with the California theme, we head west, to the “West Midtown” area, where places keep popping up that we have not tried. The name… Read More West & Mill: 10/4/13

Gio’s Chicken Amalfitano: 5/24/13

Date Night really likes it when you can bring your own beer or wine into a restaurant, crack open your cooler, and pour away. There aren’t too many places in Atlanta that let you do that, and when we read that you can pour your own at Gio’s, we have to check it out. Gio’s… Read More Gio’s Chicken Amalfitano: 5/24/13

5 Seasons Brewing Company: 3/22/13

Date Night is fortunate in that our work location is two miles from so many restaurant choices. We can hit Midtown, Inman Park or the Westside, which gives us many options when it’s time for our night together. Tonight we have plans to hit a spot in Midtown, but a bad accident on Spring Street… Read More 5 Seasons Brewing Company: 3/22/13

Abattoir: 3/1/13

Cue the Hitchcock music: Date Night has dinner in a slaughterhouse. “Abattoir” is French for slaughterhouse. Don’t worry, this is a really nice place, housed in an old warehouse on the Westside. This is one busy area, with Ormsby’s and Yeah Burger drawing the young crowd and Abattoir attracting those with a higher income. It’s… Read More Abattoir: 3/1/13

Southern Food Tour: 2/22/13

Date Night was out of town this past Friday so instead of our normal report we are sharing a special food event that we recently attended. The “Southern Food Tour” features some of our finest southern chefs cooking regional foods. Throw in beer from Monday Night Brewing, whiskey from American Spirits, a hot band, and… Read More Southern Food Tour: 2/22/13

Westside Bar and Cafe: 2/1/13

It’s the Friday before the Super Bowl, one of the highest pizza-eating days of the year. In fact, it is considered one of the top 3 foods for the big game. We won’t be having pizza on Sunday so we decide to have ours for Date Night. We are at Westside Pizza because of a… Read More Westside Bar and Cafe: 2/1/13

The Optimist: 1/4/13

Happy New Year! It’s the first Date Night of 2013, and to commemorate the occasion, we are headed to the restaurant that is first on many lists in Atlanta. The Optimist is the most blogged about restaurant in Atlanta as well as Esquire Magazine’s Restaurant of the Year for 2012. Because of all the great… Read More The Optimist: 1/4/13

Bone Lick BBQ: 11/9/12

Date Night returns to the West Side, and tonight we roll some balls, drink some beer and lick our fingers. We are at Bone Lick BBQ, which is an offspring of P’cheen in the Old Fourth Ward. Seems that BBQ night at P’cheen was so popular that they opened up their own BBQ place. We… Read More Bone Lick BBQ: 11/9/12

Bocado: 10/26/12

Date Night gets trendy and heads to Bocado, one of the hottest spots on the Westside. It’s not quite as hot as The Optimist (just named restaurant of the year by Esquire Magazine), where we could not get a reservation, but look for us to visit there when the hype cools down a bit. Bocado… Read More Bocado: 10/26/12

Flip Burger: 3/2/12

A few weeks ago, when we were having Date Night beers at the Highland Tap, we saw an interesting boast on their menu that they had the “best burger in Atlanta”. We did not eat the burgers there, but it got us to wondering who really did have the best burger in the city. When… Read More Flip Burger: 3/2/12

Ormsby’s 2/10/12

It is said that one of the challenges of eating at Ormsby’s is actually finding the place. It’s a fun hunt and you feel really good when you accomplish the feat. There is no sign, but there is a sense of satisfaction when you push open the door with the fancy “O” on it. We… Read More Ormsby’s 2/10/12
