    The Lawrence is getting into the spring of things quite literally: The Midtown Atlanta restaurant has refreshed its lunch, dinner and cocktail menus.

    The lunch and dinner menus are just as Southern and yummy as ever, but it’s the cocktail menu that reads like a novel: That’s because many of the items are classic literary characters.

    “Spring is a time of awakening and fresh ideas, and I think our latest menus really encapsulate that,” Executive Chef Katie Juban said. “Our cocktail menu, inspired by literary characters from classic novels, is so unique – and delicious – and the lunch and dinner menus speak for themselves. I’m excited for Atlanta to experience them.”

    Here are some highlights from The Lawrence’s cocktail menu

    • “Lizzie Bennett & Mr. Darcy” inspired by Pride and Prejudice – Grapefruit Peel Infused Gin, Alysian Blanc, Dimmi, Lime, Honey, Chamomile, Honeydew
    • “Montgomery Montgomery” inspired by Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events – Marie Duffau Napoleon Armagnac, Cranberry Infused Fino Sherry, Cocchi Americano, Dolin Blanc, Orange Bitters
    • “Sirius Black” inspired by Harry Potter – Dulse Infused Glasgow Scotch, Averna, Cap Corse Blanc Quinquina, Leader, Peychauds.

    Where is The Lawrence located in Atlanta?

    The Lawrence is located at 905 Juniper Street Atlanta GA 30309. Their phone number is (404) 961-7177. Here’s a map to help you find it.

    Atlanta is having a restaurant renaissance. Hot chicken is the rage in Atlanta’s dining scene right now. But so are chicken and waffles.

    Fast-casual is also the dining trend du jour around metro Atlanta restaurants. The concept involves mixing the quick accessibility of fast food with the casual dining experience. Food in Atlanta is also adapting to the various tastes of the migrants that come here to live.

  • Taco Mac Closes In CNN Center In Downtown Atlanta

    2 Min Read

    Call it a victim of progress. Taco Mac, which has been anchored in the CNN Center for a decade, recently closed its doors, AtlantaFi has learned. The restaurant closed abruptly at the end of April 2018.

    The site has seen many restaurants come and go, but one has to wonder how its neighboring restaurant, Dantanna’s, is doing. Major expansion has occurred over the past few years in downtown Atlanta, with restaurants being opened and closed on a regular basis.

    Taco Mac in CNN Center closes down

    The company, which was founded in Atlanta in 1979, was recently sold to Morehouse College graduate Harold Martin Jr. and three of his partners from Fresh Hospitality, a Nashville-based restaurant incubator.

    There is no word on whether the shuttered Taco Mac spot has been acquired by another tenant.

    When it comes to restaurants, Atlanta is quickly gaining ground on some of the dining capitals around the United States.

  • Drink Of The Week: Pinewood’s ‘Lady James’

    1 Min Read

    If you’re looking for a citrus-y drink to get your engines revved juuuuust enough, then you’ll like what The Pinewood in Decatur is cooking up. The Decatur spot has quickly become known for its drinks, courtesy of its Whiskey Wednesday promotion.

    But I “digest”: What we want to talk about this week is The Pinewood’s “Lady James,” a mix of vodka, elderflower, rosemary, lemon, and blanc de blancs.

    This drink goes down smooth and is a perfect compliment to the indulges on the food side. Try it with the Anaheim Chicken Sandwich (toasted ciabatta, anaheim pepper, red onion, artisan lettuce, tomato, cheddar, remoulade) or the Ritz Cracker Crusted Chicken Breast (mashed potato, green beans, crystal gravy).

    The Best. That’s a food you can find in Atlanta is in various places around the city. There are pork chops on the south side that are hard to beat. Steak in Buckhead is impeccable. Barbecue on the east side is No. 1.

    But without a doubt, if you want to find an establishment that pretty much has it all: top-notch service, awesome food, great atmosphere and more, there are some staples that are hard to ignore.

    Here are the top eateries in ATL, according to Trip Advisor.

    Bone’s Restaurant

    1,511 reviews

    #2 of 3,293 Restaurants in Atlanta. A reviewer says: “A wonderful place for fine dining in Atlanta. Having been several times it never disappoints with exceptional service and superior quality steaks. An ample wine list and classy atmosphere make it a perfect location to enjoy fine dining at its best.

    Chama Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse

    284 reviews

    #3 of 3,293 Restaurants in Atlanta. A reviewer says: “This place is a lot better that other places with recognized names in town. The service is awesome! I’ve been here a few times and all the time has been great. Even the valet parking guys are very nice! This restaurant can be compared to Fogo di Ciao, but with more options. An unforgettable experience.”

    Desta Ethiopian Kitchen

    381 reviews

    #4 of 3,293 Restaurants in Atlanta. A reviewer says “Hands down the best Ethopian food we’ve ever had! Couldn’t decide what we wanted to order, so we went with the Vegetarian Platter and the Original Meat Lovers (we picked salmon, lamb, and filet mignon). Amaaaaazing! Every single bite was delicious!!! Highly recommended.”

    Capital Grille

    616 reviews

    #5 of 3,293 Restaurants in Atlanta. A reviewer says “Some businesses and companies achieve true greatness: Lexus with cars, Apple with computers. Jaeger LeCoultre with watches. This is one of those places. Truly exceptional. The bone-in filet and porcini-rubbed ribeye were simply first rate – better even than local specialists like Rathbun’s and Bone’s, or out-of-state legends like Peter Luger’s. These folks know what they’re doing. The ambiance and service are first rate as well. Come here when you want the best.”

    Canoe

    1,858 reviews

    #6 of 3,293 Restaurants in Atlanta. A reviewer says “I had heard so many good things about this place and was finally able to try it out with a friend on a Friday evening. It did not disappoint. I called on Thursday evening and was able to get a reservation for two on a Friday evening at 6:45 pm. We had on jeans and a nice shirt, but I would probably recommend at least khakis and a nice shirt as a minimum. Make sure you turn on your GPS, because it is a bit strange to find. But, we arrived on time and were promptly seated. The place is very rustic chic, but gorgeous and inviting. We were seated right by a window, but unfortunately, it was dark out, so we could not take in the spectacular views. We started with some Pino Noir and the fried oysters (special) and kangaroo as appetizers. Both were simply amazing. I had never tried kangaroo and I absolutely loved it. Also, they bring several bread options to the table and you have as much as you want. The sourdough was my favorite. For dinner, I had the swordfish, which was delicious. My friend had the monk fish, which was a special. His was delicious, as well. For dessert, I had the popcorn ice cream sundae with cracker jacks. It was beyond amazing and quite a sizable portion. My friend had the chocolate grotto, which was great, as well. The service was spot on the prices were reasonable. I would recommend this place for an intimate dinner or small group. Additionally, they have a small party room that would be great for a higher end work or personal function. This is now truly one of my favorite places in Atlanta and I plan on coming back, soon.”
