MAX’s Wine Dive

REALLY enjoyed my brunch here. It isn’t that cheap, but the atmosphere is nice and the service is good. They also have a free juke box, and $ 3 mimosas (went on a Saturday early afternoon, so I am not sure how often they do this).
I had ordered a basic bacon and eggs which was fine. But our table ordered and split their brunch nachos and brunch fries, both of which came with an egg on top and sounded strange. But both were fantastic. I also think that I ordered incorrectly, because the fried chicken and collared greens were out of this world.
It was pretty dead, but apparently gets busy for brunch normally, so who knows.
I really liked this place and will be back for sure.

I’ve now tried Max’s Wine Dive for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The fried chicken here really is some of the best I’ve had (and this is true whether it’s the fried chicken entrée or just the hoecakes and wings at brunch), and the food in general is quite good — especially for brunch. («Dirty eggs» cooked in bacon fat, bacon, biscuit, and jalapeño cheddar grits? Yes, please!)
Based on the name (dive), I originally thought it was going to be a really inexpensive place, so I was a bit disappointed about that during my first visit. Still, the pricing is in line with typical Midtown restaurants, so I can’t really complain. The service is also a bit spotty, though — I had an awesome waiter when I went for lunch, but someone that seemed a bit flighty (or maybe just didn’t want to be at work) when I went for brunch. Overall, a good place, though — worth visiting more than once!

Not having the greatest experience but I’ll definitely give this place another try, especially because of their customer experience handling.
Came in for their Thursday night entrée special. Shrimp boil. Came with corn, potato, sausage and of course shrimp. Except … The shrimp was extremely overcooked.
Thankfully the manager? Staff? Noticed my lack of interest in my dinner where I explained my sadness. She understood and immediately offered to comp my meal and offered something else. I was already full, but appreciated the gesture.
Enjoying my second $ 5 house red. Would love to take bottle home. Will be back to try something else.

UPDATE ⁹⁄₁₄: The manager reached out to me soon after and was very very apologetic. I actually called because I was so taken aback with the rude server and she was even more apologetic. She sent a small $ 25 giftcard which was a nice gesture. She was super sweet, which is why I’ve changed my review from a 1 to a 3. Also, the food is good (comes out slow sometimes), but its fresh, hot, and tasty so that helps make me wanna give them a 3 instead of a 2 or 2.5.
Thanks manager! Great customer service! I wish all the servers were like you :)

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
The food is pretty good, but my most recent service was horrible — we had a server named Michael (Monday night, August 31^st). Very rude guy, very very rude.
We started out friendly with him (asking about the mugshots on the wall), and I guess he took it as a greenlight to enter into our personal conversation for the entire night. He started calling me aggressive when I looked annoyed that my male friend wanted me to cover the check. Michael chimed in and started talking about how women should pay for men?! I mean, really guy? Then, lol, he actually said, «but its okay if you don’t because for every woman that doesn’t pay there are two more who will»… ummm, I’m confused — so you’re admitting to dating desperate women, Am I supposed to be impressed by this?!? Because I’m not… it makes you look sad and pathetic but most importantly WHY ARE YOU IN OUR BUSINESS — WHHHHYYY!!!
Dear Owners — Please re-​train your server Michael. He’s rude to customers.
The service is slow here at times, but I really do like the food… Michael ruined MAX’s Wine Dive for me though. He’s hands down one of the most rude servers I’ve experienced in years. In fact I can’t even recall being served by someone this rude so he’s taking the #1 spot as most rude server ever. Congrats Mike.

I came for brunch and loved it. I am always walking around my neighborhood trying to find new places. We got reservations which it turns out we didn’t need but it’s nice to know we can reserve a brunch spot when needed. The staff was so very friendly too.
They offer $ 3 Mimosas (watermelon, orange or grapefruit). For $ 10 you can upgrade it and go bottomless.
We tried the:
Chicken Biscuits and Gravy $ 13– this was two huge biscuit sandwiches. Nice and moist, fried to perfection and the gravy is superb.
Eggs any Style $ 11– jalapeño cheese grits which where so perfectly creamy! Served with home fries and pecan wood smoked bacon. We ate every last bite of this. Props for the creamy grits, I am very picky and not all places can get it right but they did not disappoint.
Famious Southern Fried Chicken $ 17– Buttermilk marinated chicken with home fries (got their jalapeño creamy grits instead) and collard greens. Their greens are good, a bit sweet and savory too. The chicken is made fresh so give them plenty of time to make it. I got the Gluten Free batter and it was still very good. I think I’ll try something healthier next time. I love that I got a leg/​thigh and a nice boneless chicken breast. I don’t always want to work for my food picking the bones out. Options are nice.

My coworker and I came here for an extended happy hour on a Friday evening. We were seeking two things as we walked towards 12^th street: drinks and food! Max’s Wine Dive, with its welcoming outdoor patio and relaxed patrons, quickly caught our eye. It was a beautiful evening, and we timed our arrival just right – all the tables were taken outside, but as we approached the host stand, a couple left and the server quickly cleared off the table for us. The staff here is very friendly, as multiple people greeted us when we arrived, and we enjoyed great service throughout our time here.
I ordered a Bellini and their Blue Crab Cakes– Maryland blue crab and green onion sauce. The crab cakes come three to an order and are generous servings of crabmeat. Delicious! I would love to come here again, as it turned out to be an excellent choice for happy hour!

Stopped in for Friday happy hour. Service at the bar was friendly, but pretty slow.
I had a couple of glasses of house Red for $ 5 so I was pleased. The food we had was good, but our bartendress disappeared for a solid ten minutes and I watched my fries sitting in the window waiting to be brought to me. Thankfully, they were still warm once they arrived and they were tasty. We also got the popcorn chicken which was tasty as well.
The biggest downside to Max’s is the location. Parking in that area is a drag. Yes, you can park in the garage and get validated, but that is only good for two hours. After that it’s like $ 30 an hour or something ridiculous. So get in, have a couple of glasses of wine and get the hell out! $ 30 to park will ruin your whole evening.

Ate brunch with a group of girlfriends on a Sunday. Only one of us had eaten hear before. The server took time to explain the menu and substitutions we could make. Full bar with lots of specialty drinks. We had their Bellini special.
Their portions are big! I had a specific type of french toast that I can’t remember the name with chicken sausage. My friend ordered chicken biscuits. They were huge. We all shared one of them. Everything tasted great.
We ended up splitting a ScoutMob that was available that covered brunch for 2. Not sure if the deal is still available but I was shocked to see a weekend deal during brunch. Plus the staff did not act annoyed about a «deal» like most places do.
This place is worth trying. You can park in the parking deck attached to the building. They will validate your parking at the hostess stand.

Don’t let the name of the restaurant fool you, this isn’t a «dive bar» –this is a fun and eclectic restaurant with a wine and champagne selection that rivals some many 5 star restaurants.
The chef, Patrick is PHENOMENAL! His inventive menu and fun themed weekend brunches (Saturday Morning Cartoon & Soul Train) make this midtown restaurant stand out.
I went for 2 special chef tasting events that won my foodie heart over.
Patrick takes southern cooking and mixes it with the freshest produce of the season and throws in a Jewish flare that produces some of the best tasting food ever.
Some of the dishes I have tried (all amazing):
Cheese plate with homemade pickled veggies — Patrick picks the perfect cheeses… what better way to start a meal?
Alligator corn dogs — Oddly tasty… I now enjoy eating alligator
Crab cakes — Real crab seasoned to perfection.
Spinach and strawberry salad with a berry dressing that is light and refreshing.
Fried brussel sprouts — crunchy goodness.
Chicken potpie — AMAZEBALLS — Not a foodie term, but words cannot describe the this decadant delight.
Roasted chicken with wedge potatoes — I didn’t know roasted chicken could be this addictive. I really don’t how this is prepared, but I want to replicate and repeat this meal weekly.
Pork belly risotto with spring peas — another dish that was absolute perfection.
Strawberry shortcake made with southern style biscuits. I don’t care for biscuits but I could not stop eating this perfect dessert.
Sprint Wine Pairing Menu (April 8, 2015):
Strawberry Gazpacho with mint pesto — Fresh and inventive.
Asparagus latke with lemon-​dill yogurt, pickled fennel — this would make any Jewish grandma proud. Inventive spin on a traditional latke.
Lamb chops with a mint-​cumin rub, cucumber raita, and israeli couscous — Perfectly prepared and another recipe I want to add to my list.
Strawberry Tiramisu — Fluffy strawberry perfection.
Everything on the regular menu is extraordinary. I cannot wait to try the fried chicken and waffles with champagne, a signature dish at MAX’s.
Let me not forget to mention the amazing lunch options. I wish I worked closer to MAX’s, this would be my daily lunch spot.
Beautiful décor with an amazing wine/​champagne wall.
Fun bar area to enjoy dinner alone or with a group. I enjoy watching the chef and staff preparing the meals…
Great layout inside for groups or an intimate dinner.
Nice patio area to enjoy the beautiful Atlanta skyline.
Visit MAX’s soon… and make sure to say hello to the amazing chef that is breathing new life into this fun area of midtown Atlanta.

My boyfriend and I ventured over here on a Thursday for a mini date night. I convinced him what a great place it was after a Unilocal event in January when they first opened up.
We sat on the patio and started with a cheap bottle of wine (#priorities), pulled pork stuffed peppers ($ 13.50), and the MAX’n cheese ($ 11.50). The stuffed peppers were decent, but I had a love affair with the mac and cheese because it had truffle oil, which is my kryptonite. He got the chicken pot pie ($ 14) and I got the fried chicken ($ 17). Chicken pot pie was really good. The fried chicken was very flavorful and appropriately satiated my comfort food craving for the month. Service was good. It was a lovely date. Not the cheapest meal, but it was a good experience and we enjoyed the food and ambiance.
We brought our friends to the restaurant less than a week later and decided to sit on the patio again. When my boyfriend went to sit down, his patio chair completely collapsed. OMFG. The back of the chair broke from the seat. Thankfully he leaned forward when he fell backwards; otherwise, he would have hit the window behind him and that would have been really bad news bears.
Our waiter and the chef immediately came out and asked if he was ok. After making sure he wasn’t hurt, our group proceeded with our meal and ordered a couple bottles of wine, the MAX’n cheese again, and the drunk bread. The bread was decent but not that memorable. I got the chicken pot pie this time so that I could have it all to myself. My boyfriend got the fried egg sandwich, which was huge and also delicious.
Halfway through our meal, our waiter came out and offered to comp our second bottle of wine or a dessert for my boyfriend’s near-​death experience. It was a very generous gesture. We thanked him and went with the wine because if I fed my love handles any more, my chair would have collapsed too.
Then the chef comes out and asks which dessert we would like, and we got really confused. I mentioned we were told we could have our bottle of wine comped, and he laughed and was like, yeah, we can’t do that, a dessert is around $ 7; there are no comparable bottles of wine around that price.
Come on, really? For an extra thirteen dollars, you’re willing to lose a customer because you’re too cheap to comp a $ 20 bottle of wine? We selected the banana pudding and made a silent note that we would probably never be back.
Fortunately, our waiter came back out and basically told us to ignore the chef because he already cleared with the manager that the bottle was on the house. Additionally, because of the confusion, they would also be comping our dessert. What an emotional rollercoaster. Well played, MAX’s – good food can only get you so far; thanks to your management and customer service, we will be back.
Also, happy hour Monday — Friday, 4 — 6 PM.

I’m having a hard time writing this review and actually held off for a while because I really want to keep this place all to myself! Fried chicken and champagne!!! That’s what the f I’m talking about!!!
Location: The location here is wonderful! It’s close to a lot of other places in midtown but not too congested to access. They validate parking in the garage for up to 2 hours. Be careful though because that garage is extremely expensive otherwise so be sure to get it validated!
The food: their specialty is fried chicken which is super on point! It’s not finger lickin fried chicken but more like fancy fried chicken. It’s a must try. Although the chicken is good I have to admit their brunch menu is my favorite. Crème brûlée French toast… Whaaaaattt… Yessssss! Just go try it. Don’t ask questions.
Service: I’ve never had anything less than 5 star service! Holly keeps everything running smoothly and Michael provides stellar and prompt service. I am truly impressed with their level of service and welcoming nature.
P. s. Try the mimosas!!! Pace yourself. Happy drinking!!!

Most of the information you need to know is in my last review, but I thought I’d update my review with an amusing tale from this past weekend.
Since I think Max’s is not a good value, I was excited when they popped up as a scoutmob hand-​picked. $ 29 for apple fritters, two entrees, and two drinks (mimosa/​bellini).
When we came in at 1pm on Saturday they were already out of the bellini (but were happy to tell us how good it was). Not sure how they couldn’t make more. No big deal, the mimosas were tasty.
The deal came with apple fritters. We cut into the first round and all four had raw dough in the center. We sent them back and the second round were even more raw in the center. I can understand one round could be undercooked, but two in a row? It was like the cook didn’t care at all.
For entrees we had the fried chicken, which is really incredible. Perfectly seasoned and well cooked (not raw at all!). I had the burger which I found to be pretty standard, but way too wet that burger juice got all over the plate.
I’ve given Max’s three shots, but that’s it for me.

Went here for a friend’s birthday on a Saturday. It’s not as big as I thought but it was much more enjoyable since it was a quiet Saturday night… It was good for us but maybe not so good for their business.
I didn’t drink so I couldn’t enjoy their long list of wine so I’ll definitely have to return a second time to do so. The food is really good. I highly recommend the brussel sprouts. It’s baked in the oven and then flash fried to a crisp, super crunchy and delicious.
I had the steak medium rare and it was perfect. A tad heavy on the salty side but I’ll request for less salt next time. My friend had the special of the night which was almond crusted trout — sooo good. She and I normally would not order fish at any restaurant… It was perfectly seasoned and the crust is so addicting.
The service was decent, I thought the price was very reasonable for the portion. The ambiance is more casual than I thought…

Drunk Connie reaaaally liked the fried chicken. We came here after a day party at Ri Ra’s (across the street) for St Patty’s Day. A girlfriend and I shared the plate which was HUGE! The fried chicken (3 pieces) came with mashed potatoes and collard greens. Our table also ordered tater tots which was also pretty good.
We had originally sat at the bar by the window but was moved (it was the six of us) to a table because the hostess was nice to try to keep us together. After that though, the service was almost non-​existent. He took our order, food was brought out and that was it. Took forever to flag down someone to bring our checks so we could take our drunk butts home.

Simple, Cool and Homey. These are the three words I would use to describe Max’s. Absolutely loved the visit here! It’s a little gem in midtown that I’ve clearly been overlooking for a long time.
— CHICAGO/​NEW YORK VIBE when you are sitting inside. Why do I say that you might ask? Well, the finish of the room inside looks like it came from an old building and was decorated on top with contemporary touches. I don’t believe the building itself is old, just had that feel. Cool experience for Atlanta.
— BEST SERVICE throughout the night. Bailey was our server and did such a fantastic job. Speed and attention in every aspect. His recommendations were awesome too.
— GRILLED CHEESE sandwich is such a bang for your buck. That thing is massive, delicious and loaded with so much cheese. I mean, SO MUCH CHEESE. Loved it. I actually finished the second half of it for lunch today.
— BISON SLIDERS were nice. Although they call it a small plate, it’s really not that small. 3 sliders!
— MUSIC selections were excellent. Everything was just a little funky, fun and for the money, just does not get much better.

«Fried chicken and champagne? Why the hell not?» With a slogan like that, how can you not want to try Max’s Wine Dive. Having won tickets to the Atlanta Wine Party (thanks Ben — it was amazing!), we needed to find dinner in Midtown before going on a wine bender.
My best friend and I took to Unilocal and decided that Max’s seemed like a perfect place to have fried Southern food before getting white girl wasted at Opera. I should note that we were unsure what to wear to a wine party, so we opted for cocktail dresses and were completely overdressed for Max’s. It is a very nondescript Marlowe’s Tavern type of interior and we were very much dressed too fancy for it. Oh well, you can never be overdressed or overeducated!
We were promptly seated at 5:00, where there were a couple of others enjoying the blue hair special. Our server was very helpful in explaining the whole restaurant concept and menu. We were sort of in sticker shock of the wine list. It’s pricier than one would expect given the mundane ambiance. We opted for the cheapest bottle of champagne because clearly we needed to have fried chicken and champagne. It was $ 34 and fine but nothing to write home about.
For dinner, we decided to split the fried oyster nachos, famous fried chicken, and tater tots. The fried oyster nachos are delicious but oh so garlicy. I don’t think I’ve ever complained about something having too much garlic before, but these were really over the top. The tater tots are good, but they really weren’t that memorable. Where Max’s really shines is the fried chicken. It was three pieces of perfectly moist and breaded fried chicken atop of collard greens and mashed potatoes. It’s a hearty serving that can easily be split amongst two people.
Truth be told, I thought everything was a tad overpriced for what it was. All of the food was good but not mind blowing by any means. The atmosphere is okay but not great. Where Max’s really rocks is the amazing music selection they play. Stevie Ray Vaughan, Janis Joplin, and the Rolling Stones make any meal better. I would definitely come back if in the area for a concert or something (I never go out in Midtown), but Max’s Wine Dive was not good enough to become a regular destination for me.

For many years I’ve been wishing for a wine bar to come to Midtown, and while this wasn’t exactly what I dreamed up, this concept is 100% perfect for Atlanta and the Midtown crowd. Think gastropub except… wine…
I felt very comfortable in the small space, it’s the type of spot that will work for a business lunch, casual business dinner, dinner with friends, first date… the space just works for all those occasions. I think the fact that most people are drinking wine and there are wine bottles decorating the place give a touch of class to an otherwise carbon copy of all the other modern, urban dive bars around town.
They have lots of wines to choose from, including many blends for those of us that aren’t super particular. Our server was very knowledgeable and helped someone at our table pick a second glass based on what she didn’t like about the first. I really respect that and feel it is a complete necessity for any venue that is alcohol-​centric, so it was a mix of relief and satisfaction that the server pulled through in that moment. I was very happy with the white I chose at a great $ 7/​glass price.
For dinner, I had a hard time deciding because nothing really stood out to me as a *must order dish*.
We started with the drunk bread, which is basically a way fancier version of cheese bread you might get from a local pizza joint. It looked and tasted absolutely divine. Who doesn’t love bread & cheese?! Warning that the texture can be a bit soggy at times, and while I thought I might be put off by that, I wasn’t.
I had the MAX’s Hungry Dinner, which included a slice of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, roasted cauliflower, and a «sweet treat» — your basic meat & three. Most entrees are served on a gigantic square plate, but this was served in a dinner tray. For me it was a cute novelty but I definitely felt like I was in a completely different restaurant than the rest of my table. It was nice to have each side stay separated though. I didn’t LOVE anything in my dish — nothing was served piping hot; it was all lukewarm. Mashed potatoes were very plain (need seasoning), brussels sprouts were very undercooked for me. Cauliflower was good but nothing wow about them.
My sweet treat (that is exactly what it says on the menu!) was a banana bread pudding. I had bites that were delicious and other bites that were meh.
My friend had the fried egg sandwich which looked AMAZING and the chips alongside it were delicious.
Staff members were constantly around clearing plates and refilling waters — this was really nice!
This one is really tough for a star rating — it is definitely above a 3 but I’m not sure I would voluntarily suggest this as a place to go back to, so it doesn’t quite get a 4. Certainly it’s a better option than some of the other places in the surrounding area.
By the way — they validate parking but only in the garage on 12^th street — not on the one Crescent. Navigate to the restaurant Tabla and you will find the entrance to the garage.

A welcome addition to Midtown, Max’s Wine Dive has a pretty cool vibe and nicely complements the abundance of beer joints in the area. Long and narrow, the space reminds me a little of Churchill Grounds near the Fox Theatre, but with classic rock and roll blaring from the jukebox instead of live jazz. The staff is welcoming and will help you select the right wine — or wines — to pair with your food selections.
The food options are varied, but the emphasis is comfort food: fried chicken; burgers; mac and cheese; shrimp and grits. The good news for those with food allergies is that many of Max’s signature dishes, like their Famous Southern fried chicken, can be made «gluten friendly» or gluten free. (There’s a dedicated fryer for the GF fried chicken. It’s finger licking good and pairs nicely with Prosecco.)
In addition to the fried chicken, Max’s pulled pork stuffed peppers are flavorful and filling. New to the winter menu is a pork belly risotto, which may need some work to be a really great dish, but I’m confident Chef Patric will work out the kinks and make this dish really sing. Both paired well with a Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon.
During a recent lunch with a friend, I tried the lobster Cobb salad, which arrived on a large platter filled with lettuce and drenched in buttermilk dressing. The lobster was cooked expertly, but most of the other ingredients — pecan wood-​smoked bacon, egg, roasted grape tomatoes and cucumber — kind of got lost in the mix. Next time I’ll ask for the dressing on the side and about half the lettuce. Wine pairing — Broadbent Vinho Verde, a clean white with a slight effervescence. Easy on the palate and delicious with lobster.
All in all, Max’s Wine Dive lives up to its name and its concept. Great wines paired with tasty comfort food, familiar classic rock and Motown tunes on the jukebox, and excellent customer service. I will definitely be back. Next up — brunch!

I was delighted to attend a Unilocal Elite Event here. This place will definitely be put into the «hangout» list. The atmosphere is hella cool and the food is great! I had the white wine option (don’t remember the name of it but i’ll post a pic of it). It was very nice and will be added to the bar at home! The food options were quite tasty. The macaroni & cheese was made with 4 cheeses and cooked to perfection. I’m an advocate of «you can never have to much cheese.» The 4 cheeses blended perfectly and made for a tasty dish. I’ll definitely be ordering it when return!
THE FRIED CHICKEN… LISTEN! LISTEN WELL! This is one of the best renditions of fried chicken that i’ve tried in this city outside of Sweet Georgia’s Juke Joint. I WILL BE GETTING FRIED CHICKEN EVERYTIME I RETURN HERE! And the honey chipotle sauce that comes with it just makes it even better! If a friend committed a crime and they offered me this fried chicken, i’d strongly consider rolling on them. lol… that’s how good this chicken is!
Pulled Pork Stuff pepper — it actually surprised me how good these were. The Pulled pork was tender and seasoned to perfection and the pepper was a creative way to package it. This was my second favorite dish behind the fried chicken.
Pork Melon risotto — this was my least favorite dish out of everything. I just felt like there were too many clashing flavors going on here. I think whoever came up with this in the lab (kitchen) may be on to something but simply needs to go back to the drawing board. I understand that all great chefs take chances and i totally see the potential in this dish but it just needs more work in my opinion.
I’ll definitely be back here. The only downside that i can think of here is the parking situation. Parking is REALLY expensive. If you simply wanted to come hang out here for a few hrs, the parking rates are insane. I’m very glad that they validate parking but even with that it’s still expensive. I’d probably find parking elsewhere and walk here if possible. Other than that one thing, i give this place a two thumbs up. Try it out!

While the rest of the Crescent Ave scene was on and poppin’ with inebriated, club-​attire clad individuals strutting their stuff to the sound of howling, cat calls, and loud music pouring out of the clubs into the late Saturday night, MAX’s Wine Dive was catering to a different sort of crowd.
Here, classic rock played in a casual bar atmosphere as patrons chatted over glasses of wine and food. The décor was very eclectic — mugshots of celebrities and artistic photos of Lego Mini-​Figures were hung on the walls. There was a vintage jukebox. Heck, I even spotted a leg lamp tucked away in a corner near one of the wine racks.
The wine list offered a pretty good selection of wines of different varietals from various regions of the world — certainly not the most extensive or impressive list I had ever seen, but plenty good for the size and scope of their operation. I ordered a glass of red blend, my wife ordered Prosecco.
The menu presented several appealing and unique food options in small and large plate formats.
We opted for the Pan Borracho («Drunk Bread») described as «torn sourdough baguette baked in a white wine custard with prosciutto, thyme, Gruyère, provolone and Parmigiano-​Reggiano».
When one thinks of baguette and custard, pain perdu (French Toast) comes to mind. Taking a few bites out of the Pan Borracho, I could certainly discern the familial tie it had with French Toast. The texture was a close match, only where French Toast is usually sweet, Pan Borracho was savory and cheesy. Pan Borracho is like the love child produced from French Toast and Baked Mac ‘n’ Cheese getting together after a drunken one-​night stand. Naughty… tasty. Be advised: This kind of baby-​making takes some time, expect to wait at least 20 minutes for it to be delivered to your table.
We also ordered BBQ Chicken Empanadas off of their fall menu. Featuring roasted corn pico and sweet corn aioli on top, these may go down as the best empanadas I have ever had. Freaking amazing.
Even though my visit was less than 48 hours ago, I am already eager to eat and drink here again.
(Note: It was MAX’s Wine Dive’s food sample and 15%-Off coupon at Taste of Atlanta that ultimately convinced us to come here. Their marketing strategy paid off nicely!)
