A great wine destination, with a pinot noir centric reserve list....but, the restaurant is cramped, loud and the food oversalted. Standouts were a bull's blood beets appetizer. The hyped lobster cocktail was fine, but not memorable. For entrees, our party of four stuck with the recommendations including niman slow roasted pork and the zinfandel beef short ribs. 24 hours later, still have a dry mouth from the out the roof saline content. The hyped cheescake really was a great and unusual presentation, but suffered from the same saltiness and lacked sugar. The dominant sensation on the cheesecake was salt...really odd. The best of the desserts was the seasonal apple tart.
Place was packed so Atlantan's must think they have something good. However, this is no place to return to.
