The highly acclaimed chef had to change Atlantans’ perceptions when he opened Pura Vida (656 N. Highland Ave., 404-870-9797) eight years ago. Not only were diners still getting used to tapas, but they were used to Spanish-style tapas, and Santiago was experimenting with a variety of Latin American approaches [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/07/28/parish-valet-woes/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/07/28/parish-valet-woes/#comments Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:52:39 +0000 Besha Rodell http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/07/28/parish-valet-woes/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/07/28/parish-valet-woes/feed/ 7 This email just in from Brian: Read your review. My wife and I recently tried to go on her birthday. However upon arriving, the valet told us that the parking lot was full and to “come back in like 15 minutes”. Given valet is the only option, we left. I wrote a letter to the [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/16/a-visit-to-parish/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/16/a-visit-to-parish/#comments Fri, 16 May 2008 19:25:19 +0000 Cliff Bostock http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/16/a-visit-to-parish/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/16/a-visit-to-parish/feed/ 1 I’ve visited few restaurants as ambitious from Day One as Parish (240 N. Highland Ave., 404-681-4434). It’s a huge space whose design succeeds in evoking the ambiance of New Orleans’ French Quarter without resorting to the usual Mardi Gras cliches and cajun stereotyping. You won’t find the words “I garontee it!” on the [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/13/just-hold-it-until-you-get-home-okay/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/13/just-hold-it-until-you-get-home-okay/#comments Tue, 13 May 2008 22:03:17 +0000 Cliff Bostock http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/13/just-hold-it-until-you-get-home-okay/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/05/13/just-hold-it-until-you-get-home-okay/feed/ 7 We dined at Parish Sunday night — I’ll be reviewing it soon — and the place was packed.
