4th and Swift = AMAZING

Saturday night James and I went to 4th and Swift for dinner.  We saw this meal as a big treat, we have really tried to stay away from nice places... but when I saw that there was a Half Off Depot  deal for the restaurant I had to buy it! 4th and Swift is located on North Avenue in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood.  The Old Fourth Ward is the birth place of Martin Luther King ( something I just learned!) The menu at 4th and Swift changes daily depending on what local produce is available.  The chef also has a vegetable garden on his back deck and he uses the produce grown at the restaurant.  4th and Swift is also ranked in Atlanta's top restaurants!

I HIGHLY recommend going if you have a special occasion coming up!!!

Agricole Shrub | 9 St. James Agricole Rhum, Appleton )two types of special rum, grapefruit yuzu shrub, lime and ginger beer! I decided I wanted a fun drink since we were at such a neat place... and it was totally worth it!! All of the specialty cocktails are very detailed... and have all this house made stuff in them --- I wanted to try them ALL!


James and I split a salad with squash, pistachios, goat cheese, and boston bibb lettuce. I think we forgot to take a picture.  The salad was amazing though!  


For dinner we both had specials 
I had the Pan Roasted Oregon Inlet Flounder - 
Preserved Lemon Risotto, Detroit Red Beets, Turnip Greens, Hen of the Woods MushroomsRu
This is the Duck - which was SO good as well. I know there were sweet potatoes --- but not sure what else was underneath it!(
it is really hard to see the food because the lighting was so low in the restaurant! 
For dessert:Lemon
Lemon Madeleine Cake, Meringue Stick, Lemon Curd, Lemon-Basil Sorbet, Black Pepper Panna Cotta  DELISH!!!!

James and I really enjoyed 4th and Swift!!!
