Lobster Linguine

Hickory & Hazel is a restaurant that has southern food. It is located inside a hotel in College Park. It’s located inside of the Renaissance Atlanta Airport Gateway Hotel. The restaurant has very nice décor. The chandeliers and the chairs are appealing to the eye. If you go during the day expect it to be very bright. The menus are made to look like a faux wood. The restaurant is small but quite appealing to the eye.

The server was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu items. I wanted the peach iced tea, but I didn’t want the tea to be too sweet. She made sure it was just right. After I ordered, the food came out quite quickly. Keep in mind I was not there during a peak time, the restaurant actually had only one other person dining in and a few people at the bar. Considering this I’d expected the food to come out quickly.

Now for the good stuff… THE FOOD.

Oh. My. Gosh. I ordered the Lobster Linguine, a bit pricey at a whopping $27 a plate, but it was delicious! They were not stingy with the lobster, I had chunks and chunks of lobster. The sauce was a perfect consistency. The seasoning was perfect. I did not have to add salt or pepper. The amount of spinach was perfect. It easily became one of my favorite pasta. Just thinking about it, describing it and typing about it has my mouth watering.

Overall, I’d recommend Hickory & Hazel. I’m not sure how it performs at peak times, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and we’ll say they’re able to handle it. Feel free to visit and get the Lobster Linguine or order something else. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
