| This friendly, neighborhood watering hole on the northern edge of Buckhead has a huge, loyal following, although some naysayers carp that owner Hal Nowaks Creole specialties are more Atlanta than New Orleans. However, the place stays jammed from cocktail hour through closing. Many diners come for the topnotch filets, fresh grilled fish, veal, pasta dishes and such Louisiana specialties as oysters Bienville and soft-shell crabs. When available, these are simply superb. The duck rates along with outstanding veal chop and the lamb chops as among our favorites. Relax on the small outdoor patio and catch sounds from the piano. |
