It’s a toss-up as to whether is was the amazing food, the best server ever, or the infectious enthusiasm of the owners that make me want to become a regular. Managing Partner Geoff Kokoszka greeted me at the door, beginning one of the most memorable dining experiences I have had in a long time. Chef Daniel Massie (CIA) is a force in the kitchen, with original small plates like Lobster Corn Salad with Vanilla Bean Aioli, topped off with a chubby lobster claw; Roasted Figs with Maytag Bleu Cheese and Prosciutto; Pistachio-Crusted Scallops on a bed of perfectly cooked baby zucchini. Entrees are classic presentations, each with a unique twist. I had the Triple Tail Grouper over Smoked Gouda, Leek and Fennel au gratin (oh my!) and a dessert of Pomegranate Panna Cotta with fresh berries. Everything was over-the-top delicious. The restaurant is open for dinner only, and I highly recommend it. If the weather is nice, sit on the back deck that feels like South Beach. Ask for Mark. www.850atlanta.com; 678-206-0850.
