Good, not great 8/24/2002

I have to say that I was underwhelmed, given all the hype. This is an above-average restaurant, but not a destination. The space is pleasingly casual-chic, though we sweated through our meal on the patio (ceiling fans didn't provide enough breeze). The beverage list is creative, from the house-made lemonade to the interesting wines by the glass. Our starter salads were both delicious - greens with plums, fennel and Vidalias; and a light Caesar. My monkfish entree with saffron, olives and couscous was delicately flavored and perfectly cooked, but my husband was disappointed in his steak frites - lukewarm and very bland. Each of my cheeses on the cheese plate was wonderful, but his ""campfire tart"" (a s'more for adults) was over-rich. Service is sweet but spacey. I'd eat here again if I were in Athens, but would not make the drive from Atlanta. Pros: Great wine list, often superb cooking, comfortable ambiance Cons: Clumsy service, some mediocre dishes more
