Dining room at Spice Market, Atlanta, GASpice Market’s exotic Asian atmosphere is evoked in its décor of Chinese silks, ropes and hanging lanterns. Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s menu recalls that of the New York original. Dishes are served family-style, and include coconut milk and chicken soup, mango salad, Vietnamese spring rolls, satay and Vietnamese chicken curry. These are dishes one may find at any of Atlanta's less “upscale” Asian restaurants. Indeed, the better Asian restaurants present more exciting menus. Chef de cuisine Ian Winslade has departed the restaurant; the chef is now Mauro Gomez, who was on the launch team that opened the restaurant. Thai Jewels is the signature dessert, a cold soup made with miso and coconut milk. In fact, the desserts as a whole excite more than the rest of the menu. The wine list is more adventurous than the food, and we recommend the Georgia-grown Frogtown Cellars "Vineaux" with the soft-shell crab tempura---a lovely pairing. There also are a few good sakés.
