WOW

by diner43 at Citysearch

My husband and I both work in midtown, and we decided it was time to try the Globe for dinner (We both have taken clients there for lunch and have never been disappointed). WOW. We got there around 6:30 and the place was buzzing with a great casual but beautiful vibe. There was an artist sketching live models in one corner of the lounge area, and the bar was full of gorgeous people. We wanted to have a drink in the lounge, and the amazingly genuine bartender offered us the wine tasting. HOW COOL! For $15 each we got a taste of 4 different wines with 4 different--very creative-- "bites" of food. And dinner was even better!! Our waitress told us that they had just changed over to their summer menu, and we both loved our meals (and if you go you MUST finish with the ricotta strawberry shortcake thing!)

GO GO GO to the Globe, I can't believe we waited this long!!!

Refreshing decor, delightful servers, good food

I visited the Globe for the first time during Restaurant Week in 2006, and it really blew me away. The prices aren't even all that high, so I ended up ordering from the regular menu for what ended up being the same price since I don't really like dessert. The food was good, but the experience was really what I loved about it. The ambiance was cool and refreshing, and our server was really friendly, knowledgeable, and witty. The wine was excellent, too, and served in unpretentious tumblers. The two glasses of wine and an appetizer deal is perfect for an after-work drink. If this place weren't out near GATech I'd be there more often!

• Pros: Ambiance, service, house wine.
• Cons: Location.

Great for Lunch, after work and dinner

by veronicawrig62 at Citysearch

Last night I went to the 2nd anniversary party for the Globe. My entree was the duck and it was so tender it melted in my mouth. The staff was very attentive.The crowd was nice and relaxed and consisted of a nice mix of students from Georgia Tech, ladies who lunch and people who work in the area. I will make this my place for after work with friends.

• Pros: ambience,service and great food

Excellent Small Plates/Pear Martini's! Hip Industrial Midtown Atmosphere!

by jaymaygm at Citysearch

The Globe is too cool. Industrial, hip, creative small plates, and drinks you won't find anywhere else. The Pear Martini's won us over. It's just usually a casual non-dressy Wednenday night out, with an assortment of great small plates. We always start with Tempura Frittes-asparagus, green beans, mushrooms w/ lemon aioli. Then we have them bring it all on at once, Gulf Shrimp Cakes w/Mango Salsa, Chorizo Stuffed Dates, and my personal favorite, Salt Cod & Garlic Potato Croquettes w/verde salsa. It's a meal, a great drink, and good conversation, that says this is where Midtown is. Great Weekend Brunch also.

• Pros: Excellent Small Plates & Drinks! Fun Service & Environment!
• Cons: Parking can be a little confusing at first, Safe!

Love it.

Its always a pleasure to dine at the Globe. The ambiance is modern and stylish but completely unforced. I feel equally comfortable dressed nicely or casually. I highly suggest trying the weekend brunch - the mango lassi is a craving of mine as well as the simple "blue plate" (eggs, bacon, latka) done up right. The menu changes periodically with the seasons or expanding tastes and is always sporting a surprise or two. I recently tried a cod dish similar to baccalau but with medjool dates, parsnips and gnocci which was amazing (better than on my trip to Portugal!) I eat there often and really appreciate such a cultured yet cozy addition to the Atlanta restaurant scene.

• Pros: Free Midtown Parking, Cultured Menu, Weekend Brunch
• Cons: Busy at times

No complaints. Quality food, friendly service. The deal with wine and two 1/2 apps was nice way to get a taste of some different items. Mangotini was great as well.
