Location, location, location. We are in such a great neighborhood. In addition to lots of shopping and theaters and trails and history, we are smack in the middle of food and drink heaven. I hate to even begin to write this since I don’t have time to cover all of the good places in this post. But, I wanted to give you a few of my favorites hangouts.
We are right next door to one of the best steak houses in the country, Kevin Rathbun Steak. It is a delight, dark with lots of atmosphere built out of an old warehouse right on the Atlanta Beltline. Their bar is a treat if you want to pop in for some apps and a nice glass of wine, and their covered patio, with its upholstered furniture is one of my favorite spots to get away and have a drink and some quiet conversation. When you go, you should really try the dry aged steak for two. I can’t tell you what else to try because Kevin changes the menu with the seasons and provides a lot of local specialties too. The heirloom tomato salad this past summer was just scrumptious. Reservations are recommended ( 404-524-5600), but you can usually slip over to the bar and still have a meal.
