Restaurant Review: "Maxwells on 54" in PTCI had never heard of this restaurant before, until I read about it on the Citizen blogs. Last night, my bride of 28 years, myself, and another couple took the plunge. Although, I don't frequent the upscale dinning establishments in Atlanta that often, I have been to many of them over the years and I've enjoyed fine culinary arts cooking at other small bistros and restaurants over the years. So take this review for what its worth. The Good: They had a unique and varied menu and everything looked extremely nice, but the proof would be in the eating. Anyway, I have to admit that the food my wife and I enjoyed, had to be the very best we've ever had in any fine dining restaurant. The food was absolutely wonderful. Between the four of us, we had two Camembert (sic) fillets, a cheese encrusted Talipia (sic), and a jalapeno creme sauced sirloin. They provided a wonderful pate as a complimentary dish, and it was delicious as well. The coffee was fresh brewed per cup, and the ladies raved over it, and the dessert was as delicious as it was attractive. A chocolate mousse and a banana trifle were gobbled down quickly. There are two reasons I'm writing this. The first is because it was a wonderful meal, and much better than what I've found in Atlanta, and I really am tired of seeing so many fine dinning establishments open and close so quickly. I won't be eating there every week, but I can see us enjoying it with family and friends several times a year. The Bad: None really. The atmosphere was nice and although it was fairly busy, the noise was at a minimum. They have a ghost piano player that plays wonderful music throughout the evening. The decor is new age, and very open. I would have probably liked more booths with a more intimate feel, but that wasn't a big deal. We went to Maxwells because someone on this blog recommended, and so I'm sharing our experience as being a stamp of approval on what others have already said. So please give them a try before its too late. Oh, and they frown upon you licking your plates clean. Something I'm going to have to remember the next time I visit.
