by Trip B. on To say that I had a man crush on Kevin during top chef is an understatement. I know he is still great things with his life and the restaurant is a testament to that. I knew that I needed to go all out so like many, I went for the five course tasting last Thursday night. The menu changes daily in order to accommodate the best ingredients each night. I really applaud the Woodfire's local-vore mentality and appreciate how it is leading the way in the Atlanta are that is so proximate to hundreds of farms. On with the food: I went with my fiance and we were amused promptly after sitting down. We had a local easy cheese (a young cheese) with a play on a fruit gusher (yes those from childhood). The tartness of the cheese and the deep acidity of the cherry paired with a smoked cinnamon was truly a unique course and one that truly stuck in my mind. The salad course consisted of a pan roasted porcini mushroom, asparagus and a dried corn sauce. It was solid but not memorable. Cornmeal crusted catfish filets were brought to the table next. As an aside, we had imppecable service through out the night and you really can tell that the wait staff love food and love what they or doing. Of course it could be a front but each waiter seemed to enjoy being there on a bust Thursday night. Back to the catfish. Although is was a southern style cornmeal crust on the fish, there was an Asian, Indian and southwestern hint as well. This was a product of the sweet and sour tomato relish, the avocado and the curry power streaked across the top. Great dish all around. Before the next course a tomato water and mozzarella drink arrived only to make way for my favorite dish of the evening, a oh so tender grilled bobwhite and smoked pork belly. It was pure bliss paired with local beets. If I could catch a bobwhite, I'd eat it each day. Finally a duo of lamb consisting of a sausage and a lamb leg were served with green beans, mushrooms s jus and sweet cream. It again was a very solid dish and a great way to cap the meal. After a quick stretch I was ready for the dessert. Coca cola cake. Last time I had Coca Cola cake was probably 20 years ago. It was much better than my mother's (as I'm struck down) but the coffee caramel mousse really pushed it over the top. The inverted root beet float with the ice cream on top was a bit sweet but totally worth the extra sucrose in the meal. The was a truly memorable meal and I applaud thee work this place is doing and love the Atlanta restaurant scene in my short snippets that I have.
by Chris S. on One word of advice, go on unlimited bowling day. My girlfriend works at a school close to here, so one day when they had a half day we decided to go by for lunch and bowling. We were the only ones in the building besides the staff, would there be a mid-day discount? No. I think we spent 30ish dollars on 1 game, 10 frames, and shoes. So in short, yes its fun, its popular and it's bowling. Go on unlimited bowling night or take stacks of cash.
by Basilia Jesko on From the reviews below, Vessel sounds like Harlot's shitty twin sister (reference my Harlot review for details). I can't say I've had a bad experience here... I've only been here once and it was on a Wednesday night (no cover) so I'm sure those factors play largely into my experience. It's a swanky spot... reminiscent of the Hollywood clubs I've been to. Surprisingly smaller than what I expected but good times were had. And that's that.
