Before even sitting down, these called to me… Sticky Buns!!
Bar
Facing the outside
Kitchen
Christine and Menu
Brasstown chuck tender steak, two farm eggs, rosti potatoes, roasted red peppers
Tagliatelle – carbonara, bacon, crispy farm egg
Got my Sticky Bun!! 🙂
One of Chef Ford Fry’s other quality establishment. This was one of the other locations in Atlanta that I had not yet visited and definitely enjoyed myself! Had some time before the fashion shoot with Christine, so thought it might be best to warm up a bit (it was probably low 20’s with the wind chill). A solid little menu, but I was definitely more interested in the Sticky Bun. 🙂 Just saw it in the window on my way into the restaurant and couldn’t get it off my mind.
Come check this place out sometime! A solid eatery. Will need to come back for dinner.

The Optimist | Atlanta, GA USA
When you first walk in, you’re greeted by the Oyster Bar; first come first serve with a varied menu than what you can get in the main dining area.
Inside of The Optimist, main dinning area.
Shot of the bar area
Hot out of the oven bread with sprinkles of sea salt on top
Peel & eat ga white shrimp, “come back” sauce & lemon
Duck fat poached swordfish, pickled sweet peppers, crispy pancetta
Maine sea scallops, oxtail marmalade, brown butter-chicken jus
Pan seared red snapper
Grilled rack of lamb, field peas, preserved lemon, lamb jus
One of the newest restaurants in Atlanta that serves sustainable seafood. They seem to change parts of their menu; when I tried looking at the menu from The Optimist’s website, they no longer had the grilled rack of lamb nor the version of the red snapper. But I hope they never change the Maine sea scallops served with an oxtail marmalade because that dish is AMAZING! Go get that if nothing else. mmm….so good.
Also their website is pretty awesome. The main page has audio of the waves cascading against the shore. Looping infinitely. I think I’ll just leave that on while I work from now on…
