Chef Jared Hucks and crew continues to set and deliver on superb expectations. We have never been disappointed with every one of our visits. This time around, we came for the Easter Dinner menu that still keeps me thinking and craving weeks after. The Alden

2nd week soft opening of Irritable Claypot. Grand opening planned for mid May. Still hashing out the menu.

Must must must try is the crispy fried eggplant appetizer called It’s Not THAT Eggplant. Large portion that stands on its own and can even go very well with white rice. Even if you aren’t an eggplant lover like, you will like this crunch packed with flavors. Elly will vouch since she normally doesn’t like eggplants. This will become as staple for sure.

We tried the beef brisket clay pot which was unlike the traditional ones we’ve had at other Chinese places. It’s a little sweeter but also very flavorful. Had to try the crispy rice clay pot so tried the spicy beef on rice. Sauce isn’t over powering and rice had a nice crunch, not too much and just right. Ethan, owner, recommended me flip the rice over the beef and start mixing in the crunching rice bottom to even it all out. You can always ask for more sauce if needed.

Ethan stated that they are still working on the menu and want to see what they can add and take away. We’ve eyed a few other dishes that we are definitely coming back to try. He recommended trying the similar beef brisket but with chicken version. And the wings will be on our next list.

New Venezuelan 🇻🇪 grill location, lesser known, and a sleeper. We are coming back for more. Got to try the ribs which were fried but juicy and was our favorite. Honestly had no clue what things were but had to try as much as we could. 😅 And we were not disappointed at all. Must Ty place if you want some good juicy flavorful meats with tasty sides. Oh and the yucas were the best we’ve ever had in Atlanta, fried to perfection.

I personally haven't been back to Joey D's in over 20+ years and totally understand why it's a long standing institution after taking Elly here last night
The prime rib is among the tops of Atlanta for a reason. Perfectly cooked medium and tasted perfect with the creamy horseradish sauce. Elly likes it a little less salty but was perfection for me. Also tried the blackened trout which paired perfectly with the included arugula side. The recommended appetizers were excellent. NOLA spicy shrimp, she crab soup and topped it off with mouth watering buttery croissant that we could eat as starters and desserts . Restaurant was jam packed on a Saturday night so reservations recommended. Superb service giving the feel of proper upscale steakhouse but still very casual vibes as if you were coming to a place you've frequented weekly.

Chef Jack creating some delicious and tasty food at Danbi Seasonal Kitchen. Offering fresh ingredients and chef driven seasonal menu. It’s a located in an unassuming shopping strip and has simple quick bite design but lets you feel like you are in a small boutique hip restaurant. Order at the kiosk and grab a seat or chill while Chef Jack and crew puts together a lovely to go bouquet of tasty food.

We started out with the beet salad that blew us away with the light dressing on sweet beats, arugula, Asian pears, apple and fig. This definitely told us we were going to have an awesome meal. Than came the lox and pita, another superbly mix of flavors with house cured salmon. And everything else became a blur of super tasty food. Even the simpler street corn was the best we’ve had in awhile, perfection with snappy sweet corn and not overpowered by the mayo and others. Seasonal dish of scallops and risotto makes you wanting more. Scallops seared to perfection and plump. Risotto and sauce was so good that I literally licked the plate. 😁 Finally the Tuna tataki poke. Hmm. Can’t say much but you have got to try this dish. We cleaned up the tuna because it was so good. The gochunjang base sauce was superb touch and not overwhelming. Combinations of plentiful avocado, slaw, rice, and picked cucumber with the seared tuna made this a perfect light dish that I could eat every time. We had some of the mix left so had to order some chicken shawarma to take home and it with this later. 😅

Even the drinks are seasonal. We got the beet smoothie, simply refreshing 😍 and the watermelon chia juice is a summer must.

One of our new favorites ❤️ total hidden gem. It’s a must. 💪
