Cafe 640 Restaurant Review

: Bistro comfort food rules at Café 640, from the good tomato bisque to the crispy fried calamari rings with Meyer lemon aïoli, spicy sriracha aïoli and sweet chili sauce. Executive chef Stephen McGuffin reaches out to local purveyors for such treats as cured meats from Rusty Bowers' Pine Street Market (Avondale Estates) and cheeses from regional producers. Georgia's own Springer Mountain chicken is roasted for a dinnertime dish --- and it’s a whopping half chicken. If you get a hankering for cheesy onion soup made with a robust veal stock or a classic hanger steak with hand-cut fries, here’s your source. Dessert could be bread pudding or, for a time-warp flash-back, a float made with Abita root beer from Louisiana. The wine list offers some nice values here and there.
