Great Brunch hot spot

by KeithKNOWS

Looking for another Brunch/Breakfast option, you must go and checkout Parish foods and goods, it’s a quaint, cute, New Orleans styled, restaurant. Upstairs is cozy, beautifully decorated, downstairs, a market/deli and outdoor seating. My dining guest and I decided to avoid the long lines at some of our favorite breakfast spots(no names mentioned) and try something brand new.(well, new to us) Parish is tucked away in my favorite and former neighborhood, Inman Park. We decided on brunch, I had “Bella’s Omelette” stuffed with mushrooms, spinach, sharp cheddar, on the side…ummm…. ummm, good, grits(I was pleasantly surprised, I don’t usually eat grits, these were buttery, creamy, delicious) my dining guest agreed. My dining guest, feasted on “Eggs Boudreaux”, Louisiana crab cake, egg, andouille sausage, spiked creole sauce, with a side of pontalba hash(potatoes), which we both thought was not very tasty. All guests receive complimentary beignets, now those were so good, we ate too many.(LOL) Be sure to checkout the market filled with Serenbe Farms goodies.(Serenbe Farms is a local farm and community that focuses on going green and organic farming, living) Bring your laptop with you there’s free wi-fi, sit outdoors, relax, chill, grab a bite to eat.

Call me, I’ll meet you there! (reviewed, Oct 4, 09)

• Pros: Great beignets, excellent customer service

by then

Just why can people get away with this slow service and poor quality at such high prices in this economy?

I will not go back. Guess they don't care based on all of the poor reviews and yet the place is still busy. Sad that Atlanta is such a superficial spot. I am from Boston and Ny , where food rules, not pretense.

Please find me some great local places with good food, reasonable prices and service.Not interested in the take a number or the high end, something fun in the middle to go to a few times a week.

• Pros: location, drinks
• Cons: service, food

Great Food, Terrible Service

by SMoccia

Like many other reviewers, we were sorely disappointed with the service. The food was great, except our dinner arrived a bit on the cool side (not fresh, piping hot like you'd expect). We suspect the food sat waiting for the servers to bring them to the table. Lighting was poor, and our server was rude. The chef did come apologize for the cold food, and offered us desert on the house. But when we got our bill, we had been charged for the deserts. We are not likely to go back - despite the great market and food.
