In the heart of Inman Park is Parish, a beautiful creole / new south restaurant and market that has been on Foodie Atlanta’s radar for quite a while. A restaurant in Inman Park has very high expectations to meet. This is an area of Atlanta with a disturbingly high density of great restaurants, and judgment [...]
