Blackbird Atlanta Atlanta

All I can say about this place is wow! We would have never gone into this location if it wasn't for their server Jared. We came into town Friday and happen to walk by the restaurant while Jared was outside handing out menus. We promised we would be back Saturday to eat dinner. Thinking they opened at 4 for dinner we showed up and even though they didn't open till 5, they went ahead and served us. We had the pork belly, as well as scallops 3 ways for starters, it was amazing. For the entree I ordered the rabbit, wife ordered the pollo saporito and my son ordered the trout. My son took one bite of my rabbit dish and had to have it instead of his trout. First time he had ever tried it. I was able to try the rabbit and it was tender and flavorful. All the dishes were perfectly seasoned. For dessert, we had the apple caramel cheesecake which was like an apple pie and cheesecake in one. My wife had the banana poke cake. Both were absolutely delicious. After dinner, Chef Matthew sat down with us where he shared his culinary background. An amazing story and a lot of vision from such a young chef. He is going to go Far and will definitely be a great influence in downtown Atlanta. We will be back tomorrow for brunch and dinner. The staff from his line chef and servers were the best I had ever had. Can't wait to be back tomorrow.

We had an excellent brunch! Great food and equally as good and friendly service. We had the french toast and grits with sausage—both were excellent.
