Jersey Boys

The Fox Theatre sets the stage for a fantastic play reminicent of the sixties and Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. What better location than the Fox theatre! And, the Shellmont Inn is just a five block evening stroll from the Fox. For more info, check out Jersey Boys Official web site and also the Fox Theatre web site at Fox Theatre . And to top it off, you can't beat the Fox Official Greeter...what a genuinely nice guy!!

Most Atlantans, and many visitors, often take in a nice evening meal just prior to the performance or perhaps a fine desert after the show. Food for thought: Consider Mitra Restaurant or Gordon Biersch Restaurant (both previously blogged). You can't go wrong with either one.

Steel is a "Deal"

Our guests have responded with raving reviews about this local restaurant, Steel Restaurant, especially the Sushi. Located conveniently to Shellmont (about a 10 minute stroll)at Peachtree Place & West Peachtree Street, their menu is varied and priced accordingly. An extensive wine list is available by the glass or bottle. The decor is modern/contemporary with a pretty interior waterfall at the entrance. The staff is friendly and informative. If you make a reservation, please let them know you learned of their restaurant from Shellmont Inn.

Midtowns' Best Microbrewery

If you're looking for genuinely good food and hanker for a home brewed beer with seasonal twists, go no further than two blocks west of the Inn to Gordon Biersch Brewery & Restaurant. One of the favorites with our guests for flavor, service and convenience, GB has a fantastic Blackened Mahi-Mahi sandwich to die for! Their menu is very varied-steaks, seafood, pasta, salads, pizza, etc.

They have late hours of operation, also, which is convenient for our late arriving guests who have flown into Hartsfield but haven't had time to catch a meal.

But best of all, Gordon Biersch provides Shellmont Inn guests with a little suprise just for our special guests. Be sure to check with the Innkeeper to secure your treat!

Our Favorite local restaurant

Located just one block West of Shellmont Inn is MITRA, a Latin influenced restaurant with a unique Spanish flair. Not only is Mitra our personal favorite local restaurant, but it is a big hit with our guests. Many Inn guests dine there multiple times during their stay with us. The food is delicious, presentation supurb, the staff is attentive and friendly, the decor is bright, cheerful, even whimsical, and the price is extremely reasonable. And of course, the location is stellar! What more could you ask of a restaurant?

The menu is varied, the wine list is long and my personal menu favorite is "Vieras Frescas Acarameladas Con Jalapeno Y Lima", Sea Scallops. Debbies' favorite is "Salmon Pintado Con Granada", Pomegranate glazed Cypress island salmon. Regardless of your menu selection, you won't be disappointed. Mitra also has a Prix Fixe Menu option which is quite popular with its patrons. Don't forget the appetizer...the calamari is by far the best I have ever tasted. Seriously!!!

When you are in Midtown and searching for a unique dining experience, visit Mitra. I'll be willing to bet you will return again and again...it's just that good!
