I
liked
this
place,
but
note
that
the
bar
for
excellent
food
in
Atlanta
is
elevated.
Service:
very
attentive
and
our
server
was
friendly.
We
like
to
put
in
our
entire
order
as
early
as
possible
but
usually
trust
the
server
to
time
the
order
according
to
the
typical
prep
time.
Our
appetizers
came
out
super
quickly,
along
with
our
drinks,
which
is
all
well
and
good.
And
then
less
than
ten
minutes
later,
entrees
came
out.
I
almost
always
prefer
faster
food
delivery
than
slower,
but
this
was
a
little
too
fast--the
check
was
paid
by
835
and
we
were
seated
at
745.
Honestly,
it's
okay,
but
just
a
slightly
bizarre
experience.
Space:
fantastic.
We
used
to
love
H
Harper
Station
from
years
gone,
but
Golden
Eagle/Muchacho
has
done
much
more
with
the
outdoor
space.
In
COVID
times,
we
really
appreciated
big
patio
heating
torches
outside
of
our
gazebo.
It
was
probably
the
main
reason
we
chose
to
come
here
and
didn't
disappoint.
There
was
one
temperamental
tabletop
heater
but
we
barely
noticed.
Great,
relaxed
but
thoughtful
decor
and
pulled
off
an
awesome
vibe
with
the
space.
Food:
Fried
quail--very
good
flavors,
very
crispy.
In
general,
things
that
were
prepared
crispy
were
very
crisp,
and
in
general,
flavors
across
the
board
were
solid
to
excellent.
Olive
toast--really
good,
somewhat
straightforward.
The
olives
themselves
weren't
particularly
special,
and
the
cheese
was
sparingly
put
on,
but
the
bread
was
awesome
and
the
whole
thing
came
together
just
fine.
Bone
marrow--the
star
of
the
appetizers.
Great
umami,
well
roasted
(not
like
900°
steakhouse
broiled
but
definitely
not
undercooked,
very
good)
but
the
best
part
was
this
incredible
bright
flavor,
nice
acidity,
balanced
the
whole
thing.
Again,
bread
was
superb,
toasty
sourdough
that
managed
to
stay
soft
while
still
having
a
crispy
texture.
This
was
a
must
have.
Tagliatelle--this
was
probably
the
disappointment.
It's
not
exactly
a
fancy
Italian
place
so
we
might
be
a
little
spoiled
with
our
expectations,
but
tbh,
this
tasted
barely
a
notch
better
than
what
many
would
prepare
at
home.
Good,
tasty,
but
not
special,
not
differentiated
in
flavor,
and
the
pasta,
while
not
overcooked,
didn't
have
good
bite
to
it
and
was
definitely
not
al
dente.
Overall,
nothing
wrong
with
this
dish
but
not
anything
extraordinarily
great
about
it
either.
Burger--fantastic
but
you
should
know
what
to
expect.
Short
rib+chuck
=
really
high
levels
of
umami,
more
fatty
than
greasy
but
still
just
extremely
rich.
With
the
caramelized
onions
and
no
produce
to
balance
it,
this
is
a
really
heavy
burger.
I
was
happy
with
it
as
my
taste
trends
towards
more
rich
food,
but
by
the
end
I
definitely
felt
stuffed.
Also,
again
with
the
theme
of
crispy
stuff
being
properly
crispy--the
fries
were
perfectly
executed
and
somehow
stayed
both
crispy
and
warm.
Cocktails
--
I
had
a
spiked
cider,
exactly
what
I
wanted
in
this
chilly
weather,
and
also
not
mind
blowingly
complex.
My
wife
got
a
mocktail,
sort
of
a
lemon
spritz
type
drink
with
a
sprig
of
rosemary
and
lemon
peel
for
aroma.
Pretty
decent,
again
not
super
duper
special
and
wouldn't
fool
anyone
for
a
cocktail
by
taste,
but
in
a
nice
glass
and
a
nice
and
light
drink.
Damage
--
really
not
too
expensive,
and
gratuity
is
included.
With
tax
and
gratuity,
three
starters
and
two
mains
and
two
drinks,
came
out
to
about
$110.
Golden
Eagle
nails
the
supper
club
vibe.
Something
about
the
feel
of
this
place
makes
it
more
a
special
ambience
and
space.
With
solid
food
and
good
service,
it's
worth
a
visit.
I
would
peg
the
food
quality
somewhere
around
the
old
pre-pizza
joint
Lloyd's
--
trying
to
hit
a
theme
and
ambience
but
with
a
notch
of
food
quality
above.
I
would
peg
it
a
solid
notch
and
a
half
below
the
top
tier
of
restaurants
(Gunshow,
Staplehouse),
and
maybe
a
half
notch
below
the
likes
of
One
Eared
Stag
and
Full
Commission.
If
I
went
back,
I
would
order
the
meat
+
side
entrees
--
current
menu
has
a
brined
brick
chicken
and
a
bison
meatloaf,
and
I
bet
they
would
have
been
a
little
more
special.
