It is probably my favorite restaurant in the city, as much for the abmience and service as for the food. It's consistent. Anyway, the real reason for my comment: Georgia Brown's. My advice: don't bother. I only ate there once, a few years ago, for lunch, but it was one of those experiences that leaves you unforgiving. Despite being practically the only table in the restaurant, service was entirely unaccommodating and the food itself was lackluster. If modern Southern chow is your thing, save yourself the agony and stick with Vidalia. I second you on Firefly.

The food is good but not anything I'd return for. The service was exceptionally slow. And to top it all off, the bad 80's music blaring was a constant source of irritation. Really, I'd say skip it.

The food was good, but not spectacular. My leftovers ended up in the trash can instead of my tummy. Their menu is also very reasonably priced, with majority of items under $20 so its not a stretch to go there for dinner. Beck's, especially Marcel's, and Georgia Brown's food is far superior.

So I'm guessing it'll be a worthy RW entry if the staff doesn't get overwhelmed.

Lame! I was super bummed to see that Brasserie Beck was not on the list. Lame!
