So says the VA...
Fiddler on the Mezzanine
by T. TEE BODDIE
“Located on the Mezzanine
level of the shopping gallery in
Peachtree Center” is truly one
of Atlanta’s finest restaurants.
A delicatessen and res
taurant in nature, my partner
and I received the best of both
worlds. With minimum delay,
we were greeted, seated and
treated in a down-home-yet-
regal fashion.
The place is full of paradox
as it is on the brink of being
either superfluous or earthy.
With that “neutral” at
mosphere, anyone can enjoy
the setting with maximum
comfort.
The decorum, for the most
part, is well-lighted, unlike
some local competition, and we
could see our food without hav
ing to light a match to find the
butter. The oak furnishings
added another touch of nature
while the thickly padded seats
supplied royal comfort for
weary customers.
The waiters are perhaps all
but too few. There were almost
as many employees as there
were customers but someone
was always nearby when we
needed something.
My friend had a Chef’s
salad, and I ordered a
knockwurst and cheese on
white bread, and we both
drank from a large pitcher of
Heineken. The salad was so
large that my partner could
not finish it but I devoured
what was left. The salad in
cluded ham, turkey, Swiss
cheese, hard-boiled egg and
blue cheese dressing, the latter
of which we ordered from a list
of six others. It was mouth
watering to look at and almost
sinful to eat. Simply delicious!
My meal, being hopelessly
American, could have been
ordered on rye, pumpernickel,
onion, egg, or wheat bread but
I enjoyed my knockwurst with
American cheese on white
bread. It came with a fine dish
of sauerkraut. Other
sandwiches on the “Fiddler’s
Overstuffed Sandwiches” list
included corned beef, tuna,
pastrami, brisket, and ham to
only mention a handful.
The beer was just about the
right temperature (40°-45°)
and stayed that way
throughout the evening. And if
you are a beer drinker, you
know the Heineken was
fabulous.
The Fiddler offers an endless
list of entrees for dinner, some
of which include tenderloin,
roast beef, baked halibut,
seafood platter, liver, and yes,
chicken. The complete dinners
included your choice of the
house wine, and choice of
house dessert and range in
modest price from $5.95-$9.25.
The hours as well as the
prices are very reasonable.
Monday - Thursday from 7:30
A.M. til 10:00 P.M.; on
weekends, they are opened un
til 11:30 excluding Sunday
when they close at 9:30 but
offer a 10:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M.
buffet brunch.
If you like class, go to the
Fiddler. If you prefer “no
frills” go to the Fiddler. If you
like to eat, go to the Fiddler. If
you prefer to sip, go to the Fid
dler. Like I said, they have it
all and you will not leave wan
ting for anything—except
maybe a good movie.
