by Wayne Gastineau on What an interesting night. Although I'm not bias to going to strip clubs at all I was a little curious as to what to expect from the grand opening party at Bliss, formerly the 24K club. I was pleasantly surprised. Even though I felt more as if I were going into a nightclub than an adult entertainment establishment it was very welcoming. From the valet to the door guy the door girl and the rest of the staff my friends and I were very accomodated. I have to give a shout out to Ashley, our waitress, for being so friendly as well as Walker, better referred to as the hot or handsome stranger by other patrons. I'm not quite sure what Walkers title is but he's there to make sure you're having a good time and taken care of. Thank you Walker! You are a hottie though. ;) I don't quite know how to describe it. Very nice renovations, the dj will definitely get you out of your seat and into what's going on around you (hello gents and ladies!! Beautiful ladies undressing), plenty of attractive staff to help you, clean bathrooms (my big thing), reasonable drink prices, oo oooo and they have an actual shower and yes the girls put on quite a show. all in all I had a good time and definitely do plan on returning. It's truly a step up from what cheshire bridge is known for. Couple of key notes: the club has valet parking and a cover charge, and the club isn't too big but what you may think it lacks in size it makes up for in personality. Bring your friends and make a night of it. :D Welcome to Atlanta Bliss!!
by Glen Uglum on I'd been dying to go back to this cute little joint right off South Street since that one time in college. It was good times: the company was brilliant, the food excellent, and the atmosphere jovial. So, when I found myself in Old City with my beau and not a plan in mind, I thought of The Latest Dish. There were something like two tables available. They were kind enough to let us sit at the four top even though there were only the two of us. On tap: Bell's Two Hearted Ale, Dogfish Head, I forget, I forget, and Hoegaarden. They give you bread with some pesto and olive oil dip while you wait. It's delicious. There are some surprise items on the menu, such as the Vietnamese vegetable rolls -- which you shouldn't get. Please. Don't do it. You'll regret it. I wonder if they've ever SEEN Vietnamese rolls... these things were HUGE. There were two when there could have been four. The only reason why I could have finished one in just two bites is because I have a huge mouth (apparently. I bit off half of a roll in one bite and left the other half to die. alone. and cold.) The sauce was damn good, though. The specials, written on a blackboard hung up on the wall, looked amazing. So amazing, in fact, that my companion changed his mind from what he had chosen on the regular menu (vegan burger) to their penne...something...bay scallops...spinach...vodka...something (sorry, I don't remember what the exact name was). As for me, I marveled at the various choices but ultimately went with the hanger steak (with amazing fingerling potato fries, chive aioli, their homemade steak sauce, and scallions galore -- I love scallions!), medium rare. The penne was a bit bland, but not bad. The scallops were rather tiny and a bit too...chewy. My steak was tender and delicious (red meat WHAT) and the fingerling potatoes were heavenly. The steak sauce was amazing, the chive aioli brilliant, and omfg scallions. Our server was great; the hanger steak was her recommendation (in her words, "it's unreal") and she was overall very pleasant and cute. Safe to say that I still love this place. Aside from the food and the service, I really like that it's got an open kitchen -- for two reasons: first, I like being able to see and hear the kitchen staff at work; I think it's neat that they get to see people enjoy the fruit of their labor, and it pretty much tells me that they've got nothing to hide from us diners. After all, the kitchen is really the heart of a restaurant, and this is a great way to make the dining room and kitchen feel like a cohesive unit. Second, since it's such a small restaurant, it opens up the place a bit. It's just great. I'll be back.
