Stopping in Atlanta overnight and decided to try some place close to the Hotel. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was very cool with the high ceilings and laid back feel. We had Mac and cheese for the appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. It was a smaller portion with larger noodles and perfect to prepare for an entree. I had the beef short rib which was delicious. My girlfriend had the fried chicken and similarly felt it was cooked perfectly. The concern was that these seemed to come out less than hot/fresh, 45 minutes after we received our appetizer, about 75 minutes after we came in. The old fashioneds were delicious and the rose 75? was hit or miss (the first was perfect but the second tasted different)? Overall we would certainly be back but it felt like they were short a server (waited for a second drink a bit longer than expected in addition to the food wait). Otherwise it was a great place - just wouldn t recommend if in a hurry..
