King and Duke

I can't emphasize enough the importance of date nights after having a kid.  We like to go to places where we wouldn't normally take our +1.  The King and Duke it is!

Nestled in the heart of Buckhead (North Atlanta for you non-natives) you'll find this little gem of a gastro-pub.  The American version of a 'pub' anyway.  I love this place.  Almost everything on the menu is cooked on these massive open flames.


We normally skip starters and go straight for mains due to the typically huge portions at most places.  But really, I'm just saving myself for dessert.  Oh, and the Yorkshire puddings; served in lieu of bread basket, and sooo much better!  A rare find on this side of the pond.

I had Trout, "boy-scout-style", wrapped and grilled in a prosciutto and sprinkled with almonds.  But the best part are the lil florets of charred broccoli.  Cue the drooling.


Hubby had the Bar Steak with fries and we washed it all down with some bubbly (me) and beer (him).  Next up?  Creme brulee with choco mousse and a coffee flavored ice cream (egg looking thing on top).

Bellies suitably full, we made a quick exit to catch our movie, The Wolf of Wallstreet.
