Bocado Description:
Chef Todd Ginsberg has seen it all, from working for Frédéric Robert and Alain Ducasse to TAP and TROIS (now closed) in the Concentrics Restaurant group. We also remember the graceful fare he helped create at Asher in Roswell. Now he's heading the team at Bocado (Spanish for "mouthful"), where his gift for developing exciting small plates will distinguish this inventive establishment in the Marietta Street re-development area of downtown Atlanta. Seeking out the best of local ingredients, Ginsberg produces comfort fare such as braised veal cheeks on grits (beautifully cooked but needing a bit more seasoning, we thought), chicken thigh on fried polenta with Brussels sprouts and bacon, and his version of the Mexican "torta," with ham, roast pork, chilies and cheese. Sweet Grass Dairy cheeses from South Georgia and a warm chocolate tart convey the kind of cooking one finds in this Comfort Moderne-style establishment. The panna cotta with minced fresh fruits on top was right up the classical alley. Lots of in-house-made touches convey a unique and personal style. And the wine list provides choices that support Ginsberg's food.
