The Luminary

This is the first place open at the Krog Street Market.  We liked the space (all white, very open), good crowd but it seemed to be lacking something.  We were thinking maybe a more ornate center piece above the bar or more subway tile.  Maybe a DJ in the front corner??  You can't just have good food either, you have to have a good vibe.  Places like Barcelona kill it in Inman Park because they create a great ambiance with music, art, etc.  We had the streak frites, bibb lettuce salad and oysters which were ok.  Loved the Shrimp Toast.  Cocktails were in super tiny glasses and salad portions were very small.  I felt like I was back in LA!  We will definitely be back to support the neighborhood and check out what has changed on the menu.  Staff was friendly and attentive, loved that valet was inside a covered area (because it was a torrential Atlanta downpour).
