| Neon, stainless steel, enamel and vinyl are the elements that, even after more than 20 years, still give Pat Kuleto's designer diner a classic diner look. The house signature appetizer, homemade potato chips with warm Maytag blue cheese, remains popular, although we think better versions have now cropped up around town. But we remain fond of the "buffalo style" shrimp. Blue Plate specials inspire such signature dishes as the veal meatloaf with mashed potatoes, a Buckhead Diner standard as is the banana cream pie. Braised dishes are hefty, not quite right for hot summer days. That’s when you turn to the salad offerings, such as a very good hanger steak salad or the scallops (we prefer grilled) on a bed of greens. The wine list, pared down from its original extensive set of offerings, has gotten boring in the name of trying to find value-priced wines. A three-course $29 menu has been added, featuring such delectables as pickled Georgia shrimp and braised lamb shank with buttered fettuccine, although its specific elements change monthly. |
