Food ordered: Steak & Eggs, Truffle Deviled Eggs, and Crepe Cake
The service is spectacular. Southern comfort is felt. Professionalism is felt. The patrons are not loud. Somehow the place makes you proper and comfortable at the same time. It is an intimate space yet you are not bothered by anyone. Again, you may start imagining a scene of a movie.
Now the food. I do not know what cuisine I could say this is. Google Maps says French. It is French / American / Southern, all mixed up in a progressive yet traditional way. Exactly mirroring what the decor and the hotel is going for.
Cornbread – the essence of Southern cuisine – has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind madeline, glazed with hot honey and served with tabasco butter. Trust me. The actual flavor profile and mix is heavenly and ingenious. I know that a bit of spice can give cornbread a twist. They do this with the butter and glaze, not putting in some peppers inside.
The salad was disingenously simpe and honest. I would’ve thought they’d try go for a fine dining twist but just leaves, cheese, etc laid on a plate. The only magic was that they created almost a mixed salad dressing of cranberries, pecans, etc that were all crushed up so that the flavor would be spread evenly onto the greens. Essentially, this eliminates the reason to “toss the salad”. That was brilliant and worked well.
The deviled eggs had vinegared pearls on top which essentially transforms the entire flavor profile. It brings in that initial jolt in your senses but gets mellowed out by the super creamy yolk mix. Again, very honest and straight forward with great ingredients, only with a simple twist.
The pumpkin arancini (fried rice balls) was perhaps the most tangential. I’m sure I could get used to the taste but the cinnamon was too strong for the bland rice. Pumpkin and cinnamon go well together but something about the rice was throwing the balance off. I think I know what the chef was going for but it came together bland in a way that throws you off. Chef needs to quickly tweak this.
The steak frites… No words needed her. Perfect searing, seasoning, and the foie gras butter almost comes in too strong. It’s amazing but perhaps a tad bit too much. I would recommend regular butter and that itself would be heaven.
Finally, had this interesting dessert called the Sweetie Pie. This was the most surprising creation and I can see the chef let themself loose here a bit with creativity. Sweet potato puree filled empanadas glazed in syrup…. served with some interesting handmade ice-cream. It was marvelous. My only ask is to make the ice-cream a bit more creamy.
There are very few destinations like Tina Lou’s throughout the country and throughout the world. It is not perfect. But it is special. It is something that you won’t forget for a long time. It is perfect for a date. A day you want to just time travel into the past, dress up and pretend to be proper. It is welcoming, yet formal. It is honest cooking, but not without creativity. And they show it off in such a Southern way… not in your face, but a tease with eyes across the room.
Make sure you enter through the hotel lobby to begin your time travel. Spend 5~10 mins there. Then walk down the pink neon stairs. If you are in ATL, Tina Lou’s is a must.
I started my meal with the French Onion Soup. I love soup and will almost always try some over a salad any day. This soup was so rich in flavor and delicious. I was so surprised at how good it tasted.
I also ordered a cheeseburger and fries. I kept it simple with the food but even so I was not disappointed at all. It was great. To finish the meal I had dessert call Le Salon. It was top tier good and the presentation was exceptional. Every detail of the meal was great.
I will return with my family very soon.
The drinks were good too but for the price point I expected a tad better. Only negative thing I have to say is my salmon skin was not crisp(probably due to the asparagus on top of it) but that’s not getting in the same of me ordering the fish again lol.
