Spot of the WeekJUNE 3, 2004
Although I haven’t eaten a meal at the newly opened Rathbun’s yet, I can say that out of the countless restaurant openings I’ve been to in the past seven years, this one was by far the most outstanding with the best food ever. Designed by the talented Bill Johnson of The Johnson Studios, who seems to design just about every glamorous restaurant in Atlanta, the restaurant features an “industrial meets modern” theme, with exposed brick walls, an open kitchen and a patio walled off by fabric panels. But let’s get to the food. Here are just a few of the delectable dishes we enjoyed: eggplant steak fries with confectioners sugar (double dose of those!), blackened swordfish, mock turtle soup, braised brisket, prime New York strip with brown butter and banana peanut butter cream pie. The menu is divided into small plates, raw plates, soup bowls, big plates and second mortgage plates. Prices range from $4.50 for raw plates up to $29.95 for the second mortgage plates, with entrees averaging around $15. Renowned chef Kevin Rathbun, who was executive chef at Nava and opening chef at Bluepointe, now has his own restaurant and I can’t wait to go back for dinner, served Monday through Saturday.
