A word from no. 246

No. 246 is an Italian-inspired, locally sourced restaurant from Ford Fry and Drew Belline. The menu features simple preparations of wood-fired cuisine that showcase the quality of farm fresh ingredients. For a unique and personal view of the restaurant, we offer seating nightly at our our Chef's… Counter, overlooking the kitchen. For $50 per person (up to four people), the kitchen will tailor a special four-course dinner with the best ingredients the season has to offer.

"Fabulous place. Started with a trip for lunch which beckoned for a dinner trip, which now needs a trip to show family. A little pricy, but the food is wonderful and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend the Fritters."

"This was our first visit since they put in the sound panels, and I think they wasted their money - it's still louder than some rock concerts I've been to. The constantly escalating din makes conversation across a two-top almost impossible, so learn to lip read if you want to talk to your dining companion.

Food continues to be good, but skip the snow pea toast (bland) and the arugula salad (wilted leaves and watery dressing). Our server wasn't too great, either - she rushed us a bit and got my order wrong (no, I didn't order the papardelle - I don't eat beef). It's great to have a place like this in Decatur for an occasional dinner, but we won't be regulars."

"This was my 3rd time dining at No. 246, and the food was fantastic, as expected. We dined on a Sunday night, so the restaurant was quieter than usual, and every dish was executed well and tasted great. Our server was also top-notch. Great experience."

"We were visiting the Atlanta area and looking for a restaurant with locally sourced food with creative dishes. Our food was delicious, simple and beautiful. I had a salad, entree and dessert - left satisfied/full but not uncomfortable. Staff was wonderful. We ate outside on the patio - very comfortable. Timely service."

"I love to stumble on a restaurant -- especially one featuring Italian cuisine -- that knows what it is doing. The mushroom pizza with arugula (so good we ordered it twice), the papperdelle bolognese, the spaghetti marinara wonderfully wrought for kids! (looked so good I wanted it), inventive salads, a nice wine list and an engaging staff. Very much enjoyed it. Two comments. We noted an odd flavor note in the bolognese -- and wondered if it was perhaps a note of nutmeg, which is sometimes used in classic ragus. Also, the wooden crates of toasts were a little clumsy and too big for a table of six, but the toast creations were inspired -- too much to eat if you are planning on tasting all three courses. Overall grade -- A+ We loved it"

"Martini was great. Bread was outstanding. Arugula salad was great but local green salad was wilted. Angnolotti was very good. We were told there was four pieces to a small plate and eight pieces to a full portion, but we were served three pieces for the small and five pieces for the full. The waitress said the kitchen made a mistake and after a little more than ten minutes we were served the missing pieces; it kind of spoiled the flow of the meal. However we will be going back for another try."
