Good Eats!

I know it's early to say since I've only been here for about two weeks but I think I found my favorite Atlantian restaurant. It's called Canoe. Before moving here, my boss gave me a book about the best things to do in Atlanta (like a traveler's guide). When I came across the description of this restaurant it sounded very enticing... and man oh man was it good eats! Not only did this restaurant have yummy food but it also sat right next to the Chattahoochee River with a beautiful garden for the guests to mingle around in before or after dinner. We were fortunate to get to sit outside on their big patio to enjoy the pretty surroundings even though it was dark (the garden was still very well lit but we couldn't see the river so much)... We will definitely be going back another time to enjoy it when it's daylight outside. We heard they also are well known for their brunch menu.

This is what we had for dinner...

Appetizers:

I had the Yellow Corn Soup with Truffle Cream and Parmesan Wisp

Nathan had the Canoe's House Smoked Salmon on a Crispy Potato Cake with Vermont Goat's Cheese

Entrees:

I had the Maple Glazed Local Pork Tenderloin with House Bacon and Corn Crepe

Nathan had the Slow Roasted Carolina Rabbit with Swiss Chard- Bacon Ravioli, Sweet Potato Hash and Candied Garlic Sauce

Dessert:

We shared the special- Chocolate Ice Cream with Chipotle and Jalapeno Flavoring (it was surprisingly really good)

Then after dinner, we relaxed next to the river in the garden where they had serval wooden chairs and benches. :)

On another note... we went house hunting yesterday for the first time. We found one house that we both liked but it backed up to a somewhat busy road. We will continue looking this afternoon so I'll be back with another update.
