GILBERT'S MEDITERRANEAN CAFE - Atlanta

Gilbert's is located in the midtown area of Atlanta. This diverse midtown neighborhood is filled with eclectic shopping, dining, entertainment, and arts.

The evening's special was Lobster Ravioli, Filet of Beef and Grilled Beans. The light ravioli pillows were filled with succulent pieces of lobster. The 6 raviolis had a very light cream sauce accented with lemon. The extremely tender & flavorful filet was fantastic - cooked to perfection. The crisp beans were quickly grilled and slightly sprinkled with coarse salt.

Gilbert and his brother own this very comfortable, welcoming restaurant. The guests were eclectic and entertaining. The cozy, raised bar is at the front of the restaurant near the windows - perfect for people watching. I was very surprised at the reasonable prices, expecting to pay much more than the amount on my check. I am certain you will enjoy the fine southern hospitality and exceptional cuisine! Be certain to make a selection from their martini menu.

The very helpful salesman at Pergola (check it out this fantastic gift shop) highly recommended this restaurant. He told me Gilbert's evening special was not to be missed. I agree...

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm...

MOJITO RESTAURANT & LOUNGE - Atlanta (midtown area)

Mojito is located off the lobby in the Wyndham Hotel in the midtown area of Atlanta.

The Passion Mojito is pure tropical heaven. The blend of rum, passion fruit juice, simple syrup and mint is perfect. I easily enjoyed 2 of these refreshing libations!

For dinner, I had the “Pollo Asado en Naraja Agria”, also known as baked chicken breast marinated in the juice of sour orange and garlic. The chicken was served over a very flavorful blend of black beans and rice. The extremely tender chicken breast easily gave way to my fork. Delicioso!

The waiter highly recommended the flan. I wish I had room for one of my favorite desserts. Next time…

The attentive wait staff added to the enjoyment of my meal. The food is far more exciting than the ambiance.

Mmm, Mmm…
