Not Just Another Restaurant Reviewing Blog
One major change after we got a baby is where we eat. Up until now, we always had to carry our baby in the stroller, because she couldn't sit in the high chair by herself. We turned to delivery or pick-up to enjoy a bit of cold food served in plastic.
We'd always have to pick spacious restaurants at less busy times. It narrowed our choices down a lot, especially in Los Angeles where all the popular restaurants are always packed with people.
Now that we are in Atlanta, we are on our new expedition for good restaurants. I'll attempt to write reviews on some that we find worthy of a visit for young couples with a little one.
Postino - Buckhead
The starter is Postino in Buckhead.
We visited on a Sunday afternoon for a brunch. I passed by it a few times around the neighborhood. It looked like a nice little brunch spot, so we gave it a try.
Parking and Exterior
There was plenty of parking in the plaza. The picture only shows some spots in the front of the restaurant, but there are a bunch more in the back. It had a ramp for strollers and wheelchairs that led to the outdoor seating area.
One wall had vibrant wall art. Definitely eye-catching.
Interior and Space
The inside was cozy but spacious. It's geared towards a wine cafe with a good vibe. The decoration was of the 90s blockbuster movie posters.
Not all tables could accommodate a stroller, but definitely, the outdoor tables had more space. It wasn't busy at all by the time we got there. We decided to sit outdoors to enjoy the warm weather.
Menu

They have a great variety of wine selections and food that deserves a glass of wine. Even if you are not drinking, the food is still great.
We ordered 3 menus:
- Appetizer: Smoked Salmon
- Panini: Italian Beef Dip
- Select Two: Prosquitto & Brie Panini and Brussels Sprouts Salad
All ingredients were very fresh. You could taste each unique flavor and also amazing balance with all the dishes. It was very tempting to order a glass of wine (the happy hour menu is available too!).
Quality of Service
We had a couple of servers switching. They said they don't have the designated table system. All the servers were very polite and friendly. The food came out at a good pace and they were warm! Not on a plastic plate either!
Overall Experience
My wife and I, plus our daughter in a stroller, had a great experience at the restaurant. We would've enjoyed the night out with bottles of wine before the baby, but Sunday brunch did just fine. Spacious enough for a stroller, but we saw some other families with high chairs indoors as well. The people were delightful.
They didn't have a kids menu, so if your child is a bit older, you might want to take note of that. Paninis will do just fine.
I would revisit the place to try out other things on the menu.
