Ormsby's - Gastropub

www.ormsbysatlanta.com

We met some friends in Midtown at Ormsby's for a night out.  What a neat tucked-away restaurant.  There is a long bar upstairs and many booths and tables.  But, my greatest surprise came after dinner when our friends suggested we go get a drink downstairs.  We walked down the stairway in the middle of the restaurant to find a "basement" bar.  It wasn't some trendy, get dressed up to go to bar - NO!  It was a REAL bar!  There were dart boards, bocce, pool, shuffleboards and even backgammon.  What a great place to hang out...too bad we were on a time limit this time!

Now, for the food and drink (upstairs)...it was really good.  Here is what we ate:

Appetizers:

Calamari - It was cooked perfectly.  To Dave's surprise, they also fry up lemon slices and mix it in with the calamari.  A great taste together - a little bitter by itself.  Also, on the platter were small, diced, fried jalapenos - spicy!!

Hummus with pita - This was yummy!!  

Entrees:

Fish and Chips - Dave ordered this and says that the fish was the best he had ever had on a fish and chips platter.

The Bruno Burger - This is a hamburger topped with caramelized onions, mushrooms, and provolone.  A great burger!

Atmosphere - HIT! HIT! HIT!
Food - HIT!
Price - HIT!
Service - HIT!
