by Erin D. on 4.5 stars for my Buckhead Restaurant Week experience here. The FOUR-course menu is pretty awesome, and the portions and quality of the food are worth much more than the $25 price tag. Yellowtail Sashimi (1st course): Loved it. 5-6 generous slices of delicious yellowtail atop a small bed of sprouts and soy sauce. Those sensitive to spice, beware: there are a few pretty powerful chiles sneakily diced on top. Beef Tartare (1st course): Delicious and well-portioned. Served with an Asian flair: fried wontons and drizzles of spicy and sweet sauces. Chilled Shellfish Salad (2nd course): Highly recommended. Octopus, shrimp, and really, really good crab meat served on a small bed of lettuce and sliced cucumbers in a light soy-based sauce. Thai Papaya Salad (2nd course): Very light and refreshing, but a little salty. Good, but I'd go for the Chilled Shellfish Salad if given the option again. Snow Crab Hot Pot (3rd course): Served a little spicy and piping hot in a pot (hence the name?) with delicious bok choy and mushrooms and a very generous portion of snow crab. Highly recommended. Coconut Rice Pudding with Mango Sorbet and Exotic Fruits (dessert): Good, but definitely the low point of the meal. Not enough fruit, and way too much rice. 80% of the dessert is sweetened rice - not exactly pudding - and a small scoop of tasty mango sorbet with little diced pieces of fruit. A LOT of rice. Pineapple Cake with Ice Cream and Salted Caramel (dessert): Cake was overcooked a bit and difficult to cut. Ice cream and caramel sauce were very good, but dessert was not the highlight here. Ambiance is awesome, service was great, and the valet was actually the best I've ever experienced. There were about 3-4 valet guys working, and all were super nice. The head valet, Mark, literally sprinted to get our car like he was about to be stabbed at GA Tech. I have never seen speed like that, and I truly felt like I needed to applause. Go to Aja before this deal ends in a week. Do it. ** Note: They won't make ANY changes/alterations/substitutions to the Restaurant Week menu. **
by Sherman Griggs on Bowlmor is racist :IF your black you might not be able to get in. - - Today days after a huge snow storm we decided to go go bowling to celebrate an engagement. Snow was all over and my husband who ONLY wears his construction boots in inclement weather wore his boots that day.... we get to the door( white women& black man, black women& black man w/ boots) and the "bouncer says sorry no Timberland boots. We were thrown a little because we explained that we were going to change into bowling shoes to bowl and we were not aware of the no Timberlands rule. We immediately wanted to talk to the manager because we were standing the "bouncer" let white men and women in that were wearing all kinds of boots, sneakers and timberlands. The women who happen to be white in our group spoke to the manger and he said no problem and he went with us by his self to get the rest of our group timberlands and all. We get into the bowling alley and the manger comes up and confronts the men in our group with a different and bigger body guard on his back and says in a very bad tone " We know.... that you don't want any trouble and for your information girls are aloud to wear timberlands here" referring to the fact that we saw girls and guys come in with boots but they happen to be white. I think that they pick any reason to screen the BLACK PEOPLE that they don't want in there unless they are celebrities I guess. If you think this story is far fetched just google Racist bowlmor and there will be many stories: boots, baggy jeans and other bogus screening methods. DO NOT GO TO BOWLMOR!!!!!! Check out Brooklyn Bowl in williamsburg instead! Much much much better, better in every aspect!! http://www.brooklynbow...
