The Wine Spectator
"Great steak, fancy bar, swank
trappings-everything
a steak house should be."
Boston Magazine
"The national reputation
of The Capital Grille has
crowds beating
down the doors."
"The Capital Grille is the
place to see and be seen."
The New York Times
"Not only is the menu beefy, but the
portions are gigantic...these steaks,
with some bite to them, have- a
full meaty flavor... the wine list is enough
to keep you entertained for many visits."

when Kosins was on Griswold ...
George Bricolas, a customer at Kosins
and owner of Seros across the street,
told Harry that whenever he went to
Greece, Dino would custom make
clothes for him ... When Anthony
Quinn was making Zorba The Greek
in Greece, Dino custom tailored
clothes for him also.
Dino couldn't speak 'a word of
English when Harry brought him here
in 1968 ... Today, he makes clothes for
both men and women and is consid-
ered among the best of a lost breed of _ao
tailors.
CHANCES ARE the new restau-
rant opening in the Robins Nest shop-
ping center, on Orchard Lake Road
off 14 Mile, may be Ristorante di
Venezia ... Restaurateur Tom
Timmons has Cafe Venezia on 11
Mile and Middlebelt, which may
remain at that spot ... The Robins
Nest site is the former locale of
Sultan's and Steve's Back Room.
AN UNFORTUNATE lunch expe-
rience while in Atlanta was at a place
called Alpha Soda Family Restaurant
in Alpharetta ... formerly a drug store 1
and soda fountain which never should
have changed over ... Especially the
soda fountain which, we're told, was
pretty good.
Thankfully, - after leaving there, we 100
went shopping at Harry's market and
hungrily enjoyed the walk-around
lunch ... with samples being given at
almost every turn.
I'm always impressed with Harry's
because of the huge displays of foods
from around the world, with food
things that cannot be found anywhere
else.
-
Most impressive, though, are the 00
employees with their hair
covered...Beards and goatees, too ...
All wear plastic gloves, and the fish
department closes twice daily for 15 I
minutes each time so the counters
can be cleaned to assure utmost sani-
tation.
We were with Steve and Brenda
Zuckerman at Dominick's on South
Peachtree Street in Norcross, another AO
Atlanta suburb, and for Italian food,
the 104-year-old building was impres-
sive.
Honto Restaurant in the Atlanta
suburb of Chamblee is a true Chinese
dining adventure ... It has a menu
written for American customers and
another for the many Chinese diners
who frequent the place ... If it takes a
110
trip to Atlanta to get some of those
Oriental dishes not discovered else-
where, so be it. ❑
