Brooklyn Cafe

If you haven’t tried this neighborhood gem in the heart of Sandy Springs, you must go! I had been here years ago but my best college friend and I just revisited this fantastic place and I wish I wouldn’t have stayed away so long.

Positives: Family-like atmosphere, staff, food, Smoked Salmon

Negatives: None to speak of!

Overall Review: Enjoy your meal at the bar, where owner Jeff Trump will introduce you to all of the regulars. As they same on their website, it’s like going to a friend’s house for dinner. (You may even catch a glimpse of Jeff’s precious fiancé Kimberly.) And while the company is memorable, the food also definitely deserves your attention and is reason enough to come back again and again. The smoked salmon appetizer is delicious and their crab cakes are comprised of huge hunks of succulent crab meat with no bready filling in sight. However, after trying a bite of my friend’s entrée, I am already dreaming about the lobster risotto I’ll have on my next visit. Thanks Ashley, Jeff and Kimberly for a wonderful Tuesday night! See you all again soon!

Thai Chilli

Yesterday I had a lunch appointment with a great friend and client and we tried Thai Chilli off of Briarcliff and La Vista.

It was great to catch up and enjoy authentic thai cuisine.

Positives: Thai Basil Rolls.

Negatives: Perhaps the distance from Buckhead, but it was worth the drive.

Overall: Great food, great company, and a wonderful experience. I would try this again!

Revisits: 10 Degrees South

As I rarely repeat restaurants, I revisited a recent favorite so that I could introduce two great clients to this wonderful place… so I’m at least slightly obsessed with Ten Degrees South. :)

On Saturday night, The Theins and I sat out on the deck again and had a lovely dinner while it rained around us. On the server’s recommendation, I tried the Bobotie which was amazing. Thanks Sveta and Jeff for a perfect night! Let’s do it again soon.
