My Christmas present to my brother and sis-in-law (and myself) was tickets to see Wicked here in Atlanta. Excuse to see my favorite show ever, take two of my favorite people who had never seen it, and see my nephew (if just for a few short hours)! We went to the matinee show last weekend then out to dinner. I had asked a friend to recommend a new place in Decatur – I love new places and Decatur has plenty of them. He highly recommended Pinewood Tippling Room. And it was a great one.

We went all out for a fun day/night on the town – we don’t get a hang out a lot and they don’t get to go out a lot! The drink menu is extensive, with some unique and delicious-sounding cocktails. I had a free grit-tots appetizer (by signing up for their email list) and we also got the brussel sprouts (we were really hungry). For my meal I got the duck breast with braised kale, sweet potatoes, and dried cherries. Yum. It was my first time having duck and it was delicious.

Pinewood is a smaller place, so make a reservation, make a night of it, and enjoy!
