aldo nahed's overflow

Relish has gotten a bad reputation from two of my friends, mostly because of a bitchy hostess, but today my wife and I convinced them to give it a second chance.

Relish did not disappoint.

The restaurant is set in what used to be Roswell Funeral Home on Mimosa Boulevard. For an area that is a hotbed for ghostly activity (J Christopher’s nearby is said to be haunted and a pretty old cemetery not far), I can see how some pretty awful things could happen to my heart munching away on all you can eat brunch ($15).

My friends enjoyed some mimosas with their brunch. On the menu: shrimp cocktail, fresh fruit, garden greens, breakfast muffins, biscuit Benedict, Belgian waffles, French toast, biscuits & Tasso gravy, salmon with red pepper cream sauce, shrimp & grits, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, sweet potato hash, cheesy grits, mac&cheese, omelet station and a prime rib carving station.

Needless to say we ate ourselves silly. Left in a food coma and got home and knocked out. I know its not good to eat this way, but treating myself to some decadence sure feels good.

Here are some useful links if you want to know more about the restaurant.
