Few of the ingredients are "multi-purposed" for different dishes, which means everything is prepared (not just cooked) for order. By keeping the menu short, TWF is able to specialize and perfect each of the dishes. Prices are same as the local chain restaurants, but you're getting much better quality here.

Hendershot's Coffee is a unique place. What makes it unique?…read more * In addition to serving coffee along with some food items, it's full bar and has all of your booze groups covered. * It hosts live music, and not just a guy or gal playing an acoustic guitar. We want for a comedy show that was great. One of the nice things about Hendershot's is in my limited experience the shows start at 7:00 p.m., which means it's totally doable on a "school night." My suspicion is it is townie's place. When we went, I did not see any UGA kids. In other words, it's a place for grown ups for the most part. Pro-tip: Get there early for an evening show. Parking can be a challenge with three great restaurants more or less adjacent, and the best seats for shows fill up fast. Cheers!

As frequent visitors of Rathbuns and Hal's in Atl our bar is high and this didn't disappoint. Steak options were great and cooked to preference. The homemade breads and butters they hand out are exceptional and you gotta be careful not to eat too many and not leave room for food.

That out of the way, the restaurant itself is stunning, absolutely gorgeous! We arrived at 5pm on the dot, waited across the street for opening (per yelp's hours of operation). There were already a couple of people at the bar and one table sat. The hostesses were both very welcoming and sat us quickly. Our section was ran by two sisters and we were having a lovely time! Bread service included a sun dried tomato focaccia and some yeast rolls with 2 butters (one salted and one sweet) and an oil and vinegar dip. Excellent! For an appetizer we chose the pork Belly with Brussels. I liked it. Hubby felt it was too sweet but still ate all the pork out of it while I worked mostly on the Brussels. For our meal we shared the special, a Cowboy Ribeye with scallops and selected the Calabrian butter to accompany. The steak itself... we were offered salt and pepper, we said no but upon taking bites wish we had. The steak was cooked to the perfect temp. I like mine rare, hubby likes a little more to render the fat, we went with medium rare and they hit the mark. There was a nice char yet the inside was still very juicy. Neither of us felt it had much flavor though. And this is where, at this price point, I need something to really stand out. Atop the steak (since we chose scallops) were our scallops and on top of that a bulb of roasted garlic. Yum and yum! Since we were sharing and because I wasn't sure if I'd like the Calabrian butter (which when you select an accompaniment/topping it usually comes on top of the steak, likely why the steak may have seemed to lack flavor, as the variety of butters would influence the outcome) we had the Calabrian butter served on the side. The presentation was beautiful! I actually didn't care so much for the Calabrian butter with the steak (hubby did) but it was phenomenal with the scallops, absolutely perfect pairing. Now we're at $240 without alcohol. And this is where I had to knock a star. Again, at this price point, everything must be perfection! Along with the steak lacking a bit of flavor, the pork belly being too sweet for hubby, I didn't care for the way the "shared meal" was presented. In other fine dining establishments, when we would share a dish, we've had some really creative ways they have done so, from pre slicing the steak (chateaubriand style and placing it in the middle offering us both clean plates) to plating two separate dishes out of one for us, there are ways to do this. Instead hubby is awkwardly splitting the platter and divvying out a portion to my plate across the table. I'd expect this at a chain steakhouse, not at fine dining where service is paramount. Additionally, at the end of our meal, I asked for a to-go cup for the rest of my tea. She asked me to wait as she had just been sat a table next to us, and then another got sat while she was working that table. Understandable. So we waited, and waited, now it's getting awkward, by the 3rd time she came back to our section without my cup, we just got up and left. It felt like once we payed we were no longer relevant, even though we left a hefty tip as up to that point the service really was great. Had this been a chain, my expectations would've been on the floor. But this is clearly a restaurant that's shooting for Michelin stars, which I believe they could earn, but to do so, again, absolutely nothing can go wrong, there is no room for error or even the implication of anything less than stellar. The bar is high and this time, they just barely missed the mark.

But oh man, we have at least 4 meals off of this plate of nachos, so they can have my $24 anytime.

I think they make their chips as they are thicker than most, but have an amazing actual flavor, and the toppings are ABUNDANT. This was carne asada and it was absolutely delish. The bartender greeted us when we walked in, showed us where to order and to pick a seat inside or on the cute little patio. They brought the food out within 10 minutes and we chowed. Others around us had margarita buckets and pitchers of beer, so plenty of options. Someone was raving about a pickle margarita...next trip that is on my list. Super clean, very friendly, great food, and it is labeled vegetarian and gluten free on the menu for those of us who need that info. I will most definitely be back.
