    I visited for lunch to celebrate 1) St. Cecilia’s feast day in the Catholic Church and 2) the publication of my first book. I noted these in the comments of my reservation and they added “Congratulations” to my paper menu! It was a lovely touch. The server suggested champagne and made a few food recommendations, which were delicious! Great experience!

    First visit to Bistro Nico. I’m a business traveller so usually sit at the bar, which I did here too. Service was a bit rushed, but you’re competing for the bartenders’ attention so it’s almost to be expected. Had the duck confit appetizer and the pork chop entree. Both were to die for. I’m already thinking about my next trip to Atlanta so I can have that again. Food came out quickly too, which is nice. Ambiance was good, Christmas decor is over the top, but not in a bad way. Do the valet parking, it’s much cheaper than self parking. Restaurant is well worth a visit.

    Except for valet (upon arrival, he just looked at us, zero greeting or communication...), our experience was excellent all around. Caviar service, veal mousse, carpaccio, gnocchi, lobster pasta, clam pasta, and halibut. Clam pasta was just okay. Everything else was perfect. Thank you, La Grotta.
