Nam Description:
Nam blends the refinement of Asian art with a distinctive contemporary look. The team that brought MF Sushi Bar to Atlanta's sushi fans, raising the bar yet another notch in that department, here does the same for Vietnamese cooking. Dishes are familiar, yet much more deftly crafted than they would be at a standard ethnic eatery. And more elegantly presented. Classic are the Vietnamese spring rolls, filled with shrimp and pork as well as crisp vegetables, to be dipped into a peanut sauce. A Continental touch comes in the form of a delicate beef carpaccio with a nam pla-based dipping sauce. Light meals are served with a salad of crisp green papaya, topped with either grilled shrimp or a beef jerky. For mains, consider basil duck or the clay pot chicken, a spicy gathering of tender chicken morsels served on rice. The noodle dishes provide a hefty portion of egg pasta with fresh toppings. The wine list, while not wonderful, is superior to those of many Asian restaurants. The Jean-Baptiste Adam Gewürztraminer is the perfect foil for just about every dish on the menu.
