Dining room at Shaun's, Atlanta, GAWith a stylish, contemporary interior---another design gem from The Johnson Studio---Shaun's brings out the best in American and Southern ingredients. After years at other people's places (notably Mumbo Jumbo, MidCity Cuisine, Table 1280), chef Shaun Doty finally has a place he can call his own. Literally. Choose appetizers such as crispy Sardinian flatbread covered in the most flavorful small-leaf arugula anointed with fine olive oil and large shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano. It's the kind of study in simplicity that hallmarks the food in this finely crafted dining establishment. A frisée salad with sweet lardons and a poached duck egg is well dressed, not drowned in vinaigrette. The crisp french fries, cooked in duck fat, are fit for heaven's own banquet. A hangar steak, which may, unfortunately, arrive overcooked, manages nonetheless to have excellent flavor. Details abound in this menu from a cheeseburger composed of Wagyu beef and Taleggio cheese to the Anson Mill grits and Sweet Grass Dairy cheeses from Thomasville, Ga. Be sure to try dessert: the caramel-chocolate-covered sticky toffee pudding is just one inspired example. The wine list isn't very long, but there's not a bad drop in the batch. We hope time provides more choices by the glass, including a rosé, although the list does provide one by the bottle.
