I have a tendency to get comfortable with a spot. Breakfast is my favorite meal and this location was within two blocks of the Renaissance where I was staying. Went back each morning with three friends. First morning I did the Huevos Rancheros. Constructed a little differently than typical presentations. This was a delicious meal. All ingredients fresh, well prepared, beautiful in presentation and satisfying. Second morning, I chose my friend's Day 1 selection of Biscuits and Gravy. He had swooned for this dish, so my expectations were (too) high. Very good, but not worth repeating.Final morning, I did the Whole Hog Omelet. Boy, was it good. Beautifully prepared. I had expected a very large omelet based on the name but it was pretty typical in terms of size -- and that was more than sufficient. Big Thumbs Up (my favorite breakfast spot in Atlanta).

Phoenix City Grille

Phoenix City Grille is a central Phoenix institution, having opened in 1997. Nestled in the heart of the Madison neighborhood at 16th street and Bethany Home Road, Phoenix City Grille was built in the style of the old town tavern. It's a comfortable place

Great little restaurant has been around for years and owned by a long time Phoenix restaurateur. Food has always been delicious and service great. Love eating at the high-tops in the bar area and I would probably give Phoenix City Grille five stars if it wasn't for, what I consider, an unusual designed dinning area.

Dining at Chef Binkley's restaurant made my party and I genuinely feel like we were good friends invited to enjoy a great dinner party at his home. Fine dining does not get any more enjoyable and comfortable than this. It is a great three-hour experience from the private tour and welcoming beverage when you and your party arrive to the serving of the many delicious courses that are described at your table when they are served.

wen there when down watching some baseball as it was across the street from our hotel and we love steaks. The food was good but not great so i felt over priced for what you get. Been to many steak houses on trips and I like the decor which is in a mall but nothing really stood out as wow just ok. took a long time for my credit card to get taken though i put it on the table i bet it was a good ten minutes maybe more before someone actually took it.

Postino

Reviewed By lindajjensen

I’ve eaten here several times. Postino has several locations. I’ve eaten at both the Acadia & Central Avenue locations multiple times. It’s very popular & parking issues as well as wait time can be problems. The menu consists of sandwiches, salads, soups & appetizers. They are especially well known for their bruschetta. I like to order the board where I can pick four different kinds of bruschetta. The restaurants have large windows & doors that can be opened for an indoor/outdoor atmosphere. Dogs are welcome on their patios & there are wine specials every day. It’s very nice that the Central Avenue location has built a new parking lot across the street to eliminate that issue at that location.

Amazing brisket egg roll appetizer that led into an amazing selection of grilled meats prepared to please the most scrupulous palette. Sides that compliment and a dessert split amongst 4 very full and satisfied adults rounded off the evening. Our waiter Bryce was attentive and respectfully fun. I absolutely hate attentiveness that becomes annoying because you can’t have a conversation due to constant interruptions...not that we were saying much more than...”OMG...this is sooo good”..We also loved the rustic charming decorAthath, we're so glad you loved our Q roll appetizer! It makes us so happy that you ordered dessert and all left feeling full. We'll be sure to pass this on to Bryce, too. We're grateful for the review and hope to welcome you back soon.Take care,Chef Mark

Our first visit here was wonderful! Our server was Rex, and he took great care of us, very knowledgeable and super pleasant. I really enjoyed my roasted chicken salad, so fresh and delicious with white balsamic vinaigrette, and I tried a side of their grits with Mascarpone cheese. My kids loved the pork tenderloin with wine reduction and fingerling potatoes, and short ribs with grits, and the wonderful beef medallions with mac cheese. For dessert we loved the dark chocolate bread pudding, and the caramel apple ice cream. The restaurant was quiet enough for us to hear, and great food and service. So good that we flagged down the manager to praise them.

Reviewed By jaymO7046JL

The Trip Advisor crowd is totally right on this restaurant. We found it looking for Mexican around the airport even though we were headed up to Sedona. Upon arrival, we knew it was the right choice just from the parking lot. We were promptly greeted by the owner and seated outside. Eduardo our server, who had a really cool watch and super friendly demeanor, took great care of us. We were really there for meat dishes but on his recommendation, I tried a vegetarian taco with the Al Pastor and Beef Tenderloin. No joke, the vegetarian one was just as good if not slightly ahead of the others. Really can't recommend this place enough.

Reviewed By RPG24

My family and I visited the Original Breakfast House early this month. The restaurant has a solid reputation and is family owned.There was about a half hour wait which we learned was normal. The server was great and we placed our orders quickly. We also ordered one of their famous cinnamon roles while we waited for our food. The cinnamon role had great flavor but the dough was dry and crispy - not very good.The rest of our meals were simply okay. The real shocker was the bill... just under $65.00 for three adult meals, the cinnamon roll and two coffees. We had two kids with us but they ate from the adult plates.I’m sad to say it was just not very good and really pricey. Oh, also, they don’t take anything but cash so be sure to grab some before you go!Hi ...thanks for giving us a try. Don't know what you had to eat except the cinnamon roll, so can't address that. I am surprised at your price comments though. Our menu entres range from 8.95 to 12.95 with the exception of rib eye steak and eggs and occassional shrimp and crab items. So it seems that you must have had more than you realize, maybe fresh orange juice or sides of bacon?? We don't pretend to be cheap, but what you describe doesn't quite add up. Sorry we weren't what you were looking for. Best regards John Stidham owner
