Cellar 56 - Atlanta, Georgia - Tapas and Wine Bar
Last night I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down to taste test Atlanta's newest tapas restaurant, Cellar 56, in Andrews Square. My mouth enjoyed plate after plate of some of the most delightful palates and combinations of flavors from the kitchen of chef Paul Agnelli. The last time my tongue experienced such a sensory overload was dining at the famous Seegers while it was still in operation just a few blocks down the road from the Cellar 56 location.

Cellar 56 earns its namesake from the cozy basement like decor and list of 56 wines to compliment the wide assortment of tapas from the garden, land and sea. My hat goes off to Chef Paul for creating a unique menu full of wonderful, sometimes soothing and often times beautiful clashing new and intricate bursts of flavor. Chef Paul formerly with the Capital Grille and Van Gogh's brings such a vibrant zest out in these dishes, that while wine is welcome it certainly is not necessary. The foods and spices alone let ones mouth dance in the pleasured assortments of flatbreads, cheeses, meats, vegetables and perfectly combined dishes of Cellar 56.
