I hesitate to write this column, since I always like to keep a secret find to myself, but I feel it's my duty to keep the dining public of Fayette County informed.

After numerous recommendations, I decided to try Pascal's Bistro in Peachtree City.

The restaurant is in the former Agnes & Muriel's location in Westpark Walk. The new owner has overhauled the space and the restaurant is now one of the prettier and most nicely appointed rooms in the county.

Linen napkins and white tablecloths now grace the room and the outdoor dining area is set off by beautiful flowers.

I always like nice surroundings, but to me the heart of the experience is the food and the service. For lunch, the restaurant offers an incredible pasta buffet that features a variety of pastas, sauces and toppings.

Feel like bowtie pasta with a clam sauce and fresh mushrooms? Go ahead and order it. Or perhaps you'd like linguini with a marinara sauce and grilled chicken. Help yourself.

The pasta comes served with a Caesar salad and garlic bread and the pasta servings are unlimited. This is one of the best choices for lunch in the county and this restaurant is poised to be a destination not only for Fayette County residents, but surrounding counties as well.

The dinner menu is sublime. Where else in the county can you dine on Caribbean lobster Napoleon served with tropical fruit salad, carambola and orchid? If your tastes run to beef, check out the grilled New York strip with fried onions and demi glaze.

For appetizers, the restaurant serves up such delights as escargot crostini, baked brie with pecans and butternut squash soup.

But don't eat too much in the preliminary courses. Save room for dessert. How about creme brulee, a cannoli tour or a honey apple tart with anglaise sauce?

This is one of the best restaurants I've encountered in a long time and it's in our county. Folks, let's support Chef Pascal with his innovative cooking and have folks from Atlanta head this way to eat, instead of us heading north.
