The Dinner Net

The main appeal to Elevation Chophouse and Skybar, other than its menu created by Richard Blais, is its location at McCollum Airport in Kennesaw. It boasts panoramic views of Kennesaw Mountain (who knew that existed?). Unfortunately, the wide open windows translated into baking in the southern spring sun. 

I believe our main problem with Elevation, was that we went on Mother’s Day. Something we never considered to be an issue. 

Crowding was not a problem, in fact it seemed like we had our dining area all to ourselves. But then we got the menu: a limited, no-substitutions-allowed three course selection for all the Momma’s out there. Not exactly what we had in mind. Not to mention, an 8 year old could have designed a better menu in Word. 

As usual, we started with drinks. Nick and I had $14 liquid nitrogen margaritas, guaranteed to knock us on our asses. An awkward bus boy came to the table, mixed our elixirs in front of us, and piled the margarita 3 scoops high in a martini glass (hard to imagine…I know). It was like an adult lemon-lime snow biz….minus the adult. Maybe the liquid nitrogen froze the affects of the tequila?? Absolutely no buzz, and therefore absolutely not worth $14. 

I begrudgingly selected the lobster bisque, fried lobster tail with green beans and potatoes, and a fudge brownie. The bisque was begging for some bread to sop it up with, the potatoes must have been Hungry Jack just-add-water instant potatoes, and the green beans were made of wax. I enjoyed the yummy lobster tail, and devoured the brownie. 

Lin’s Rating: 15 This would probably be different on a non-holiday, but you will never get me to step foot inside this place again.
