Savor Sandy Springs

Walk into The Brickery and you will quickly feel the difference that proprietors Bruce and Sally Alterman, also longtime Sandy Springs residents, have created. The Brickery has been feeding Sandy Springs and area residents for over 22 years. It’s a genuine neighborhood landmark that can only be created with time, and with great food, and it’s the kind of place that has become part of, and important to, the community itself.

The Brickery Grill and Bar, 6125 Roswell Road – www.thebrickery.com had the consistency of lobster and were only slightly smaller. Two at our table ordered them and both proclaimed them a hit. e curry chicken while tasty, was texturally a one-note dish. It was a plate of comfort food – chicken and rice with just a hint of spice – not necessarily something one would chose to eat when dining in a ner restaurant. e chicken bobotie was another comforting plate of food. Bobotie is the national dish of South Africa. To the uninitiated it gives the appearance of a free-form potpie. However, an egg custard stands in for the topping. e dish had a mild level of spice and was quite rich, thanks to the custard. Again the basmati rice was its stalwart, if uninspiring backdrop.

There are more than 100 full-service fine dining restaurants in Sandy Springs. Reserve a table and enjoy a delicious meal in our community!

No one felt the need for dessert but the waiter’s description of Di’s sponge cake, evidently made daily by the owner’s mother, sounded too good to pass up. We also ordered a brulee cheese cake as well. e sponge cake was a surprising hit. It was warm and so , bathed in a caramel sauce and served with ice cream.

Small plates range from $9 to $16 with sampler platters for 4 at $70. Entrees range from $21 to $38. e menu states that they will add an 18% gratuity to parties of 5 or more, however they did not do so in our case.

10 Degrees South combines a very inviting atmosphere with solid service and some very good food, even if some dishes are relatively uninspired. If you don’t want to spend een plus hours ying to Johannesburg, it can provide you with a taste of South Africa many latitudes closer.
