Ticonderoga Club at Krog Street Market

Online it is billed as “Colonial era–inspired tavern serving seafood, sandwiches & craft cocktails at Krog Street Market”.  I found out Ticonderoga is a town and tourist attraction in upstate New York.  Inside the new Atlanta restaurant, I felt like I was in a bunker.  Not a fan of the décor.  Maybe they were trying to go with an exclusive members-only vibe.  I DO have to say the food and service were awesome though!  Our server was so attentive and nice.  We loved that we were able to have a yummy AND healthy meal.  It is located in the corner of the market between The Luminary and Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams.  Note:  They do not take reservations and are not open on Wednesdays.

My friend and I split:

Butternut Squash Salad (kinda like a Thai salad!)

Cured Salmon Spring Roll (kinda like sashimi!)

Vegan Noodle Bowl

Great Deal at Spice to Table

Spice to Table is a wonderful Indian restaurant in Old 4th Ward and they are featuring a great deal on Scout Mob ($26 for 2 people!).  Owner Asha Gomez is also a James Beard Award winner.  Here are more details:

Spice to Table Presents: An Indian Feast for Two by Chef Asha Gomez

We’d be hard-pressed to find a more exuberant culinary master than Chef Asha Gomez. With this feast for two at her very own spot, she plans to spread the love through every course – from your first sip of chai to your final bite of her signature fried chicken. (They don’t call it the joy of cooking for nothing, after all.)

WHAT TO EXPECT

• An Indian meal for two at Chef Asha Gomez's outpost in Old 4th Ward, Spice to Table
• Two chai teas to warm you up
• Two of Asha's famous samosas
• Two entrees of your choice from a menu of spicy, savory, and complex dishes

SCOUT NOTES

Ever since we had our first tastes of Asha Gomez’s cooking in a certain cozily clandestine supper club years ago, we’ve been hooked. Since then, we’ve followed her culinary climb like devotees – from her beloved underground Spice Route dinner parties, to their brick and mortar leap at Cardamom Hill, the opening of the Third Space, to their most recent evolution at Spice to Table. And we weren’t the only ones to become smitten with her passion for Kerala cuisine and the flavors of South India: her nomination from the James Beard Awards and a tip of the hat from Bon Appetit were proof in the pudding.

The Wrecking Bar Brewpub Vegetarian Tuesday's

Even if you aren't a vegetarian I highly recommend Wrecking Bar Brewpub's weekly event.  Every Tuesday they have an awesome vegetarian menu and of course their award winning brews and cocktails.  It's a great place for groups or to belly up to the bar.  Sometimes their menu has vegan selections as well.  I have had the seitan wrap and that with fries is so yummy.  On a side note, it is a great date spot or catch up with friends spot around the bar.  

Check out their interesting building history here:  wreckingbarbrewpub.com

Sneak Peek Inside The Mercury's menu

                                         

The Mercury just opened at Ponce City Market and is the largest restaurant thus far. It is located on the 2nd floor. The Mercury was started by The Pinewood's Mike Blydenstein, Brooks Cloud, and Julian Goglia. Julian recently won an Atlanta Eater Bartender of the Year award so you know the cocktails are going to be good. I am generally too impatient for "Mixologist" cocktails but I sure do love the "Goonies Never Die" cocktail at The Pinewood. Interestingly enough, the menu consists of a large steak offering, something that InTown hasn't seen in a while. Porterhouse for 2 anyone?

Lawrence's Cafe

Lawrence's Cafe is in Decatur/Kirkwood area on W College Ave, next to Revolution Doughnuts. They serve Lebanese (i.e. Mediterranean) food and I am in love with their hummus, falafel and schwarma! They have lots of vegetarian options and are great at accommodating dietary needs (like no sugar, gluten free, etc.) They're also great at accommodating large groups.  If you are craving healthy, yummy Mediterranean food at a reasonable cost you should check them out.  Other things to note:  The wine is pretty reasonable, they are closed on Mondays and they do a great takeout service.
