DEL.ICIO.USIs Maxim Prime?

I DON’T DIG THE DIGS at Maxim Prime, downtown. Do you?

In today’s Living section I take a look at Jeffrey Chodorow’s first Atlanta restaurant, Maxim Prime. Read the story here
Chodorow obviously relies on a lot of stun factor in many of his restaurants — Kobe Club in NYC is dripping with samurai swords from the ceiling and has a dark, brooding ambience. But the whole of it is so childish that it seems like the restaurant is throwing a temper tantrum.
The same thing goes for Maxim Prime, though the food, executed by local chef Daniel Zoby, is quite good.
I hate this sort of decor in a restaurant — it’s garish, loud and cheap looking to me. But since Chodorow is opening up to 25 more Maxims in the next two years, somebody somewhere must like his style.
Have you been to Maxim Prime or Kobe Club? Did you like the digs or not?
