Editorial Review for Front Page News – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Lush ferns, a trickling fountain, wrought-iron fencing and dark-wood accents welcome neighborhood residents and day-trippers to Atlanta's original counterculture area. The decor is a touch more modern than its sister restaurant in Midtown. Staying true to the theme of the restaurant, walls are covered with front-page newspaper clippings. An upstairs loft houses a few tables for intimate dining or cocktail sipping; the lower level is a mix of tables and booths.
The Draw
People come here for the cocktails and hearty Cajun-style fare. A make-your-own-bloody-mary bar beckons weekend revelers with an enormous array of hot sauces, spices, olives and mixers. While drinks are flowing freely, you can fill your belly on generous portions of po-boys, fried appetizers, seafood gumbo, burgers and crab cakes. Sunday brunch is also popular with omelettes and heaping sides like andoille sausage, bacon and grits.

For food, drinks and great patio Front Page news IS springtime. The patio can't be beat. The busy nights are more a bit of a hassle on the patio but the dining room inside stays reasonably quiet until around 10ish. The menu is great, but I must admit, I have so many favorites, I rarely try anything new. While my friends say the new Orleans food is the draw, I prefer the blackened chicken salad and the amazing blackened salmon salad. (I like salads, alot) Wine list is short but decent, and quite inexpensive. We usually start with Martinis and switch to the special drink list later. Perfect neighborhood joint for dinner and drinks anytime!
Pros: Great patio, Free Parking, Live music
Cons: Wait on weekends for patio, loud.

We just moved back to Atlanta and one of our first nights out we returned to Front Page. We used to go to Front Page before we moved 3 years ago and I am glad to report it is better than ever. The patio is still fun & festive and the bartenders (some old faces, some new) Seem to always pour a extra strong drink. The food is still fabulous, we had a steak and Jambalaya Like most non-tourist restaurants in new Orleans there is more than just "Cajun and Creole" food. From many years of visiting I can tell you, Steaks, burgers, and the Jazz brunch are great. There is no better place to celebrate being back.
Pros: Great patio
Cons: Can be busy on Sunday brunch.
