Two Amys
Had dinner with my good friend, Amy, tonight! She’s soooo great! Not only is she super smart and super fabulous at her high profile government job, she’s cool too. This is the woman who reads the Economist and US Weekly. Gotta love that kind of style!
Anyway, I just wanted to report on the food – which I may start doing periodically, as I consider myself an AMATEUR Foodie. At least I like good restaurants even if I’m not very adventurous.
Tonight we ate at Eatonville, a new restaurant by the owner and creator of Busboys and Poets. I really like this guy’s restaurants, but they always fall short of spectacular. They are good, but they just miss when it comes to great design and great food. I had the Catfish and Jalapeno Grits. The Catfish was light and the breading not overfried. The grits were yummy, but I was really hoping for more spice. I was really hoping for a little more flavor all together.
Now, that being said, I would go back again and try something different. Amy was very pleased with her crispy chicken and I hear very good things about the Macaroni and Cheese. I liked the vibe, the atmosphere, the pricepoint and the overall concept. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice dinner with friends. Oh, and Roscoe, our waiter was great! He was absolutely adorable, super friendly and always ready with the water.
I hope you will try Eatonville. If you do, please let us know what you think!
Enjoy!
Amy
