What’s the BEST Restaurant OTP?

BISTRO VG: INTOWN CHARM OUTSIDE THE PERIMETER

We may as well admit it. You know, the rivalry between OTP and ITP.
I ventured OUTSIDE this past weekend to visit with my sis, who lives in Kennesaw. We celebrated my dad’s 83rd birthday at Aspens in West Cobb. Besides portion sizes that were, frankly, ridiculously large, it was a fun meal with exceptional steaks. Chris and Michele Sedgwick have built quite an empire OTP — Bistro VG and Pure Taqueria I would list among the best in the area. And Acworth was home to one of the best — Seasons de Provence — before it closed two years ago. Cartersville has lovely D Morgan’s, and College Park has the funky Brake Pad and the Feed Store (and Oscar’s, before the IRS shut it down four years ago.)
But Windward Parkway and the like is littered with chains — and those restaurants that aren’t often have the cookie cutter look of a chain, anyway. Every fancy strip mall in Alpharetta looks exactly the same. Yet I hear from readers often about the restaurants they love.
So CHAINS EXCLUDED (unless it’s a local one, such as the Sedgwick Group), what’s your favorite restaurant OTP?
