The Cooper's Birthday!

My sister and brother-in law came to Atlanta Saturday for their b-day getaway. Dione's birthday is Nov 29th, and Starla's is Nov 30th, so they celebrate it together. They dropped their kids off on the side of the road, and took off for the day. They made sure that someone was there to grab their kids, in a non kidnapped loving way, so no worries you can put down the phone that you were about to call child services with;)

After their day of shopping they came over to watch the UGA game at my apt. I was happy to have them over and show them "My Town". I made up some quick snacks for us and a B-day cake:) I made it in a loaf pan, cause circle cakes are so yesterday lol. Plus Icing it doesn't take as long. My sister is a chocoholic (sp? hmmm oh well) so I did chocolate cake with chocolate icing. I sliced the cake down the middle so I could layer it. The middle had chocolate icing, chopped up Reese's cups, and Oreo cream icing. On the top of the cake I drizzled more of the Orea cream icing to make it look pretty. It was yummy!

After the game we headed out for some dinner and drinks. Since I was showing them my town I took them to Sage Woodfire Tavern at perimeter, which is only a block from my apt. There was a 40 min wait for the dining room so we grabbed a booth in the bar, which in my opinion is better anyways cause you can people watch. Their food is always so good, and what makes them unique is that they grill over a hickory oak wood fire. They have an awesome menu from their signature meatloaf (mix of veal, beef, and pork) to filet's and lobster tails. Each day the Chef prepares a special meal that isn't on the menu, which is great to try a different creative meal. If your not too hungry they have a nice small plates menu as well. This time I ordered fish tacos off of the small plate menu. It was really delish and can't wait to take Mikey back there because he loves fish tacos. They give you 2 tacos for $7, which I think is a great deal and plenty to fill you up.

Light and crispy fish, delish!!!

Dione got shrimp and grits, and Starla got the lobster tail meal that came with sauteed green beans and mash potatoes. They both gave their meals rave reviews, and Starla said that Sage will be another spot for them when they visit Atlanta. The service was great and I always enjoy going there. So if your out shopping at perimeter mall I highly recommend Sage, it's right across the street on ashford dunwoody rd.
