Dining room at Sprig Restaurant & Bar, Decatur, GAChef Britt Cloud's seasonal menu draws on local and regional purveyors, and dips deeply into Southern traditions with such small plates as house-made pimento cheese and fried pickles. Logan Turnpike Farms provides the grits for the grits-and-mozzarella cakes, a trio of small gems that sit atop fresh tomato sauce and sautéed spinach. The regional cheese plate is served with house-made crackers. Bratwurst comes from Pine Street Market in nearby Avondale Estates. Grilled rare duck breast and lamb stroganoff on noodles are among the winners. Kudos to the concept of offering half portions of most mains, even the trout. For dessert, we suggest the cold dessert of the day, a small portion of something very rich, such as chocolate mousse; ice creams are house-made. Even the kids’ menu is prepared with care. The extensive wine list highlights a variety of new- and old-world choices, both popular and niche labels, and offers many by the glass. American craft beers (including Wild Heaven's Ode to Mercy, an imperial brown ale from Decatur) and distinctive cocktails are available.

SPRIG RESTAURANT
by papasan on 01/22/2011
 
I woke up this morning still chuckling about last night’s dinner at SPRIG restaurant. Why the chuckle? Because my dinner made me feel like a king hosting a banquet at a Knights of the Round Table extravaganza. Ya, I know, I have a vivid imagination. Hey! I have an excuse. I’m getting old you know. All kidding aside, my big plate entree was magnificently, LARGE. The slow roasted pork shank I ordered was fit for a king in both size and flavor.
Slowwww cooked in an oven allowed the meat to cook to perfection. Literally melting in your mouth and unbelievably juicy. This entree is part of the new winter menu at SPRIG and I’m sure it will become one of the all time favorites. Served with black eyed peas that are probably great if you are an aficionado of the little bean. I have to admit I have never been but gave them a try. Being a meat and potatoes kind of guy I think I will ask to have mashed potatoes and gravy as a substitute next time, but that’s just me.
To top off the evening fare, a new entree on the sweet treats menu was ordered. We had a slice of chocolate gooey butter cake that was simply scrumpdillyisous. Hopefully the management will forgive my OMG’s after tasting the first bite. Especially after the couples at tables around us ordered the same and actually thanked me for being so graphic in my appreciation. Having never tasted chocolate gooey butter cake, they too were thoroughly delighted with the new addition. I have it on good authority, (our lovely waitress Sarah) that this cake has become one of SPRIG patrons’ favorite desert items. If you plan on ordering it I would suggest having your waiter reserve a piece for you as the demand has been sometimes exceeding the supply. Not to worry though, the new sweet treats menu has a fried pie entree that owner Daniel Morrison raves about and he always tells the truth about food.


Bon appetite
Very Happy
