JOEL - ATLANTA
 

Another disappointing meal at a "fine" dining establishment. Lunched at Joel last month and expected an ethereal experience. Instead, the experience left me wishing I'd spent my $50 (appetizer, entree, glass of wine, shared dessert, coffee, tax & tip) for four trips to Steak-n-Shake down the street!

The highly acclaimed chef here was either absent from the kitchen that day, or this is the most expensive restaurant bomb to hit Atlanta - ever. In short, don't waste your time and money!
