Savu Description:
Sleek and modern almost to the brittle point, the restaurant at the W Atlanta sits open to the bar, a position that can make noise intrusion gratingly uncomfortable if there is a lot of evening activity in the lobby area. Chefs come and go at this establishment with a singular frequency, but no matter who's in the kitchen, the Asian influences never leave the menu. A few dishes reflect the region---inexplicably, Red Velvet cake gets a spot on the dessert menu---otherwise expect lemon grass and ginger; ponzu, hoisin and soy sauces; tempura treatments; and tropical fruits to pop up in everything, although thankfully not simultaneously. Look for small plates of pot stickers, spring rolls and tandoori skewers, while another dish fills wonton wrappers with duck confit and Boursin cheese, for instance. The wine list isn't much, but there are a few good choices that should pair well with this food, and most are available by the glass (Champagnes excepted). Sadly, where one could once obtain a good glass of sparkling wine as a starter, the list now offers only Korbel. Breakfast is reasonably well done, and the circumstances provide a good scenario for a business breakfast meeting.
