5 Seasons Brewing Description:
When Yakitori Den Chan owner Dennis Lange ditched Buckhead, he teamed up with partner-chef David Larkworthy, tapped Glenn Sprouse and Brian Buckowski to keep the brewing operation on course, and bailed out a popular but failed brewpub operation. Former Sweetwater head brewer Kevin McNerney has taken over as brewmaster. Suds rule here, although some wine also is available, and are served at the right temperature, too, so forget getting a frosted glass. Try a sampler with your appetizer, and choose one to go with dinner. First-rate bratwurst with house-made sauerkraut is perfect with these brews. Little plates for sharing tapas-style include terrific fried blue crab fingers, served with honey mustard aïoli. The yakitori lamb chops retain their pink juiciness and flavor. And the jumbo sea scallops with orange glaze and the fried calamari with orange-chili dipping sauce could not be improved upon. Organically raised beef makes awesome eating. But don't overlook the slightly spicy grilled ravioli with andouille sausage and crawfish tails, a page perhaps from an accidental St. Louis tradition. Tender Kobe-style beef, from a Japanese family operation in Idaho, is first-rate, and reasonably priced. The patio operates as an enclosed biergarten, but sometimes in summer may be open to let in the warm breezes.
