CLOSED: Drink Art

Tried to go here last week for dinner would have been our third trip. We were so disappointed to see a note on the door that they are now closed for business. Too bad this was some of the best vegan in Atlanta

This is a great place with a fun ambiance. All the items on the menu are vegan and excellent. The plates are colorful and appetizing. They have a complete bar with a long menu of drinks. Try to sit on the roof terrace during the summer, it offers a great view of midtown Atlanta.

The food was wonderful. The staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful. My partner and I had a great time and will return.
The only negative was parking. We went on a Saturday night, there was no parking nearby and the neighborhood was slightly questionable. Fortunately, we had no problems but I wouldn't walk around here alone at night.

Not much to dislike about this excellent addition to healthy eating for Atlanta. The Chef was born and raised in Thailand and knows his ‘craft’ well. We sampled a half dozen menu items all which were delicious and some which exceeded expectations. This is a relatively new locally owned restaurant worth supporting. Note that just down the road is the Boxcar Grocer, filled with locally sourced health foods, and produce from local farms.

Great food, great ambience! Check out the patio!

Hands down, a Thai food lover or not, vegan or not this food is delicious! Done with much thought, creativity and skill, it towers over any said competition. Be prepared to fall in love with it. With reasonable prices, I'm a regular who has made all my friends regulars too. =) Also try the new lunch menu!

I had the Kaeng Phet and shared the sampler platter, both were seasoned to perfection...a culinary masterpiece...FOOD ART...DELICIOUS...SLAM DUNK!! This was my first visit and I had a lot of questions and the staff was very helpful, polite and available. I am a vegan but the friend who was with me is not and she loved the food too (she had the Kaeng Massaman).

When he expands we would love to have you in Decatur.

I WILL BE BACK!!!

SIDEBAR: I love the slanted bowl my main dish was served in; I will be adding some to my kitchen.

Drink Art is brand new, only a couple months old. It's the brainchild of Shandon Anderson, a former UGA and NBA basketball player (google it for the full story). The food was delicious, authentic and used some thai herbs and spices I hadn't even tasted before. Our waitress told us that the mock meat was from a Thai company, and it was the closest thing to meat that I think I've tasted since going vegan. Seating is extremely limited and geared toward pairs. If you're in a party larger than 2, by all means call ahead and be prepared to sit next to each other, not around a table (seating for groups larger than two needs to be further developed). We are hopeful that they plan to put tables out on the beautiful roof terrace, where the views of downtown are fantastic. We will be back!
