Woodfire Grill Description:
Nicolas Quinones and Bernard Moussa, the former management team of Loca Luna, bought Woodfire Grill from its founder, San Francisco native and longtime Atlanta chef Michael Tuohy, in 2008, when Tuohy returned to his native turf. Now partnered with former chef de cuisine Kevin Gillespie, the team has shaken up the concepts at this Atlanta restaurant. Gillespie, a Georgia native who grew up just south of Atlanta, has an instinctive knack for blending classic staples with upscale concepts. Soups might include a winter vegetable soup with braised winter greens, pecorino romano, root vegetables and French green lentils. One may then dine lightly from "second plates," maybe sautéed natural veal sweetbreads with house pancetta or pan-seared diver scallop with roasted hedgehog mushrooms, or go on to main plates---we like the duck breast---that will sport different adornments with each change of the menu. Desserts also change with the seasons, with offerings such as cocoa nib donuts, passion fruit caramel and coconut ice cream. The global, well-priced wine list presents many good choices by the glass.
