This newly opened addition to the Atlanta scene was a gem of my visit to this lovely and amazing city. As a Seattleite, with the cold snap in the air, I forgot I was away from home here.

The space is large and open, a solid Pacific Northwest vibe with a modern update and classic antique touches. It feels at once comfortable and classy. The owner's crushed velvet jacket with jeans and well chosen shoes tells me exactly where the restaurant's vision came from.

The flower in his lapel is the level of customer care. Despite being overwhelmed with an unexpected group of 40+ in their upstairs bar, being temporarily understaffed for the evening, and completely full on only their 5th weekend, our 2 person table was not overlooked. The waitstaff always had a smile, a sense of humor or lightness, no one seemed overwhelmed, and when things were comped, they were done so quietly. Again, classy.

We had beyond what we needed despite the wait, with a round on the house, and our steak frites arrived hot and medium-rare with crispy fries and perfectly executed bearnaise. When the quality is worth the wait, the wait is worth the quality.

The in-house and guest draught lists are impressive, so come ready for a tap room experience.

P.S.: Make a reservation Tell them the girl from Seattle sent you.
