We ordered every dessert on the menu... it was fun

Tonight we went with friends to dinner.  We were trying a place we'd never tried before and frankly it was VERY disappointing. I'm not sure I'll ever give them a second shot because it was very pricey to not be good and the server had a it's just you if you don't love our food kind of attitude.  

So we did something different for dessert.  We left and went to Blu Culina fusion bistro to have dessert, cocktails and coffee at a different restaurant.  We were trying to decide what to order off their dessert menu when my friend spoke up and said "just bring us one of everything". Clockwise starting in the top left corner we had Baklava, Vanilla bean ice cream with balsamic sauce with blueberries and raspberries with biscotti, bread pudding, chocolate covered sea salt caramel with berries, sweet potato cheesecake, saffron buttermilk pie. 

The dinner menu looked amazing and I can tell you we will be back there. It was a refreshing and delightful end to what was otherwise a mediocre night. If you live in the area I could certainly recommend this bistro. As for the other place, I won't mention them by name, because maybe there were just having an off night in the kitchen.  And I'll continue to search for a great Italian place until I find one.

Good morning Tammy. Always disappointing when your meal isn't very good, but sure did figure out a way to make the best of it.

Oh I love Mediterranean food.  I am looking forward to a review of their other menu items.  It would be worth the drive to Eatonton for me!

YUM!  What a fun thing to do.  You will have to let us know if the dinner food was as good as the deserts when you go there the next time.  :)

I prefer a little time between a meal and the dessert.  This sounds ideal to me. Of course, one of everything sounds pretty darn good too!

Hi Tammy, Those dessert sound Yummy.  As for the Italian Restaurant, when in and around Atlanta, Stone Mountain or Chattanooga, or north of Marietta, try Provino's and Scalini's on Cobb Prkway in Marietta.  We stop there in the way through the are.  If you like garlic, their homemade rolls dripping with garlic butter is the best anywhere! I know its a bit of a drive for you, but it is worth it.  They may have a Provino's south of Atlanta by now.
