Okay so you want a nice place to eat in Athens. You know nice, as in really nice. Not Applebee's nice but nice as in the food is sort of pricey but delicious and you can take a date there on Valentine's Day nice. But does such a place exist in Athens? Of course! Look no further than the 7 Sauces.
I recently went there for a nice date with my boyfriend. The last time I went there was about 4 years ago when my sister was still in undergrad here and I was not yet a Bobcat myself. I was in one of those "I don't want to be here" moods so at the time I didn't pay much attention to the food or environment. But I have to say that going again at a slightly older more mature age was wonderful because I could appreciate all that it had to offer.
Not only do they have an extensive list of food on their menu but they also have great deserts. I had a shrimp and atrichoke pasta with a house salad to start me off. Then I moved on to desert and had the best chocolate moouse ever. The entire meal was delicious from start to finish. Plus the place had a romatic environment that really helped to set the mood. For those of you who are 21 and over, it also had a great wine list to choose from. They even offered great non-alcoholic beverages for those under 21 and even had a favorite of mine, Sparkling Apple Cider.
Sure the food might be a little pricy, but it is well worth it to make sure you have great food for those special occasions like anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Birthday's, and any other excuse you want to have fine dining. Fair warning: on those special day's like Valentine's Day, when the day is special for just about everyone, it's super important to make reservations.

Court Street Diner
Can I go on about the Court Street Diner? Because I will.
The Diner is by far my favorite place to eat in Uptown Athens. I don't really know why, but I absolutely love it to pieces. I think it is just so quaint and cute and I love love love the food.
It's your basic Diner with the old fashioned 50's feel to it. Its just this random little silver building that is nestled between two typical Athens brick buildings. It looks so out of place in uptown Athens, and yet it fits in perfectly.
Their food is pretty much amazing in my opinion. I love that at home feel that I get when I eat there. Perhaps it's because they have such an extensive menu of foods that I love and have loved since I was a little kid. They of course have the typical burgers and fries of any diner, but they also have great other foods like meatloaf, Phillycheese Steak, and my favorite breakfast foods. While I'm on that note, The Court Street Diner is great because they serve breakfast all day. What is better than that? If I feel like eating pancakes at 7 p.m. I can go to the Diner and eat my pancakes at 7 p.m.
The Diner also holds a special place in my heart because I have a tradition of eating at the Diner late night on the night of the Halloween street party in Athens. I'm talking late late night, as in around midnight to two. This is a great tradition in my opinion because, not only do I get to quench my late night hunger and thirst for a great milkshake, but I also have a prime viewing spot of Court Street. I can sit back and watch others walk by outside in their outlandish costumes. This is something I can obviously do outside as well, but why bother walking in the cold when I have a perfect viewing spot inside the warm Diner surrounded by my closest friends?
