Smooth on the spoon with that soft creamy finish that makes soup feel a little luxurious instead of just warm. The feta on top cut through it nicely. Salty. Tangy. A little flash of brightness in every bite. It gave comfort with some polish. Like rainy day food that still has good posture. The almond croissant was the one. Golden edges. A soft shatter on the outside. Then that dense almond center that lands sweet, nutty, and almost plush. The powdered sugar on top made it feel a little extra in the best way. Not too precious. Not too sugary. Just enough to make it feel bakery serious. The kind of pastry that makes you pause after the first bite because now everybody else at the table wants some. The tea was better than good. Clean. Smooth. Calming in a way that made everything else settle into place. It felt intentional. Not an afterthought. Definitely the standout and the easiest thing to come back for. Forgot her name, but the woman helping me order was a lifesaver. Honest. Adorable. Knew how to guide without hovering. Gave the kind of recommendation you trust immediately. The room had that easy café buzz. Warm lighting. People lingering.

We were immediately seated and provided menus. I initially ordered the Smash the Basil drink but I didn't like it whatsoever. The waitress stated that it had a hint of mezcal but it appeared to overpower the entire drink. I then requested the Bee Word and it was prefect. For food, I ordered the Caesar salad and the mussels. The waitress brought me the empanadas out, forgetting that I ordered mussels and was comp'd the empanadas. As I was getting ready to leave, another waitress dropped a glass which made glass fly all over our table. Thankfully, no was injured. I would like to try this place again, maybe at a different time.

We started with a lovely cheese board for the table, which was delicious and fresh. Paired with that we of course split a bottle of wine at the recommendation of the staff - we absolutely loved the pick! For the main I had the gnocchi, which was absolutely fantastic. I was so full but managed to scrape down the whole thing because of how light the gnocchi was and how delicious the sauce was. All 3 of us agreed this is the kind of place we want to come back over and over so we can try everything! 10/10 from me! Just note, parking wise, there's a tiny tiny lot, but I street parked around the corner. This area is notoriously a little harder for parking so just give yourself some extra time!

You had to try to guess which type of wine you were drinking, and they gave you a list of the possibilites with the tasting notes as emojis. Cute idea, and we were only 1/3, but it entertained us.

We only did appetizers and drinks here because it is on the pricier side, but well worth it. Sitting at the bar, we got to chat with the bartender a bit too. He was friendly and even let us know of his own dry cleaning business which was great for my friend who is new to the city. For drinks, I can't recall the name of the pink drink. It's relatively new to their menu. It has passion fruit and is comparable to a Pornstar Martini x Pink Lemonade. The other is an Iberian Old Fashioned - a stronger smokey drink, but can definitely taste the bacon on the back end. If you want a table you may have to wait, but we were able to walk straight up to the bar. Outside is Decatur Square which has lots to look at, while inside has plenty of pig decor to search for along the walls.

WINE DOWN WITH VIN | I'm not sure how Vin ATL doesn't have more attention, at least on Yelp. We…read morestumbled upon it and we have never felt more lucky. The shop is small but cozy - but we loved the outdoor seating the most, especially on a warm fall day in Atlanta, since it's dog friendly. They offer full pours or various wine flight options found on their educational tasting flights menu. I decided to try the Pet Nat What, which offers 3 3oz pours for $15. The flight comes in branded Vin ATL glasses and a cute wooden flight board that makes it easy to carry yourself. And if you like any of the 3, you can also opt for a full pour, which has the pricing listed next to it. My favorite was the Heaps Offshoot, a Blaufränkisch, which I've never tried before. Nearly all their wines are organically or sustainably farmed. I love that the menu also provides recommendations for how you can enjoy the wine - with what dish, chilled or room temp, etc. We will definitely be back, although maybe once the weather heats up a little bit, because this impending snowy weather in Atlanta is no joke! Although maybe it would be an even better idea to pick up a bottle of wine ASAP before the snowstorm hits!

(keep your sample spoons for your actual gelato purchase) heck...we are trying to save the planet people. Anywho! My choses was to die for. The lemon was lemony which I truly loved.

My grandson almost finished his Carmel coffee/strawberry cup before we got to the car. I thought that was a disgusting combination but he said he LOVED LOVED it.

The only available slot was from 6:30-8:00, and as long as we arrived on time, they'd seat us. We got there around 6:45 and had already looked over the menu on the way, so as soon as we sat down, we placed our entire order. The ambiance and decor were very nice and chill. It was a little loud, but we could still hear each other comfortably. We started with the sangria flight -- fruity and delicious. Our first appetizer was the papas bravas, crispy with just the right amount of spice. We also had the beef empanadas with chimichurri sauce, which were excellent. Next were the steak skewers, seasoned to perfection (though I do wish they offered a choice of cooking temperature). The octopus was my favorite -- char-grilled, tender, and full of flavor. We also tried the mac and cheese. It came out a little loose at first, but after sitting for a bit, it had a nice bite, especially with the chorizo. We finished with the shrimp in garlic butter and crostinis -- flavorful, garlicky, and one of our favorites of the night. Overall, this is one of the best tapas spots we've had in or around Atlanta. It's definitely our new favorite -- even over some of the local favorites in Decatur.

I came with a friend around 7pm on a Saturday and the place wasn't too crowded. We were seated immediately. They have both inside and outdoor patio tables. The vibe was chill with music playing at a decent volume, but over the next hour the place got very crowded and the music got louder. By 9pm, the place was quite packed and we were politely asked to close out to give our table to others waiting in line. I was very surprised by the cocktails - in a good way. I was pretty hesitant looking at the cocktail menu because most of the drinks had at least one ingredient that I don't like. However, the drinks were fantastic. I got the Hot in the Shade and my friend got the Fast Idol, which were both delicious. I don't even like gin and yet my drink, which has both gin and vodka, were outstanding.
