Another Fun Saturday Night In Gainesville On Lake Lanier! Dinner At Recess & A Visit To Scott's On The Square!

It was another wonderful Saturday night at the lake.  Well kind of at the lake!  When you stay at the lake, you often go to dinner at wonderful spots like the Square in Gainesville.  That's exactly where we spent Saturday night, dining with friends and doing a bit of walking on the Square.

We started at Recess Southern Gastro Pub at 118 Bradford Street NE in Gainesville.  This is a really popular pub with great atmosphere, bar and a fantastic food menu.  The four of us did quite a bit of sampling of food.  Here are some of the really tasty treats that we devoured:
  • Home Made Potato Chips with Blue Cheese Crumbles
  • Fried Green Tomatoes with Herb Goat Cream Cheese and Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
  • Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes with Lemon Cream Sauce
  • Fresh Mozzarella, Sliced Tomato, Basil, Oregano, and Marinara On Gourmet Flat Bread
  • American Burger - American cheese, Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato
  • Meat Loaf – Served with Roasted Red Potatoes and Green Beans
It was hard to tear ourselves away from Recess!  It's just such a great atmosphere with a ton of old Gainesville charm.  But eventually we did gather ourselves and wander across the street for after-dinner drinks at Scott's Downtown On The Square.  Even though it was late, the folks at Scott's put on our favorite college football games on the tv's and graciously served us until closing.  Next time we'll have to reverse the process and try dinner at Scott's with after dinner drinks at Recess.  Just to mix it up a bit and try all of the local faves!

Another fun night with friends, dining on the Square In Downtown Gainesville, Georgia near Lake Lanier!

Tarahumata For Fantastic, Authentic, Mexican Food & Atmosphere Just Twenty Minutes South Of Lake Lanier!

My wife and I love Mexican food!  It's great almost anytime and anywhere.  But, we've travelled south on Hwy. 400 to Tarahumata a handful of times and we've always had great food, great service and a fun lively atmosphere.  Located on Windward Parkway in Alpharetta, this Mexican grill and tequila bar is approximately 14 miles south of Buford Dam.  That's a short 20 minute drive and well worth the trip.

Tonight, we sampled the usual chips, salsa and some fantastic guacamole.  I had the chicken pintos and my wife enjoyed some mini carne asada tacos.  There was a live band and the place was full and hopping.  We dine out quite a bit, and every now and again we'll venture a bit further off the lake to try new places.  If you haven't tried Tarahumata Mexican Grill & Tequila Bar, make plans for a fun evening of authentic Mexican cuisine, music and a lively atmosphere!
