ONE. midtown kitchen

There are so many great restaurants hidden around Atlanta that you would never really know existed if you hadn't found them online first! Last night a group of us from work that are on Spring Break headed over to ONE. midtown kitchen for dinner. We had recently gone to their sister restaurant- TWO urban licks to celebrate my birthday in style! These restaurants are in the most obscure places and if it hadn't been for the teeny tiny sign on the side of the road we might not have ever found them! ONE. is right in the middle of a neighborhood and you feel like you're entering some secret club as you walk through the giant metal door and heavy black curtains! Inside is a hip and trendy open area dining room with a great huge bar. We were seated right next the window with the beautiful skyline of Atlanta as our background.

The food was unbelievable and while we enjoyed a few drinks before ordering we were able to notice the huge portion sizes being served to the tables around us. Since there were only three of us we started with a Meat and Cheese Plate and split some Caesar salads. After eating those we also agreed on splitting our dinner too and out came the of entree of Steak Frites- Chargrilled Hanger Steak, Parmesan-Herb Fries, Red Wine Shallot Sauce. Yummy couldn't even begin to describe it! We finished off our wine and enjoyed fresh mint chocolate chip ice cream with a molten chocolate cake underneath. So glad I went with these girls and we were able to share all this delicious food!

We left full- not stuffed and headed into Vinings to watch a local band play at a bar called Blind Willy's. Lingo is a group of college kids that are so very talented and we stayed listening to their performance until the bar closed at 12:30! Being the very tired teachers we are that never go out on a weekday we headed home after that and I managed to sleep in until 10am! My pups must have known I needed a few extra hours! The rest of my day is being spent packing and getting ready to leave for Orlando to visit my sis and her hubby for Easter! My mom and I fly out bright and early tomorrow morning and the rest of the fam will meet us there on Friday. Looking forward to some toasty Spring weather! Hope everyone is having a great week! xoxo
