In the culinary world there are often waves of food trends.
Over the last few years we’ve seen cupcakes, gourmet sliders and designer Mac n’
Cheese, all get gobbled up by the general public and dominating through
enormous popularity. Also added to that list is the fascination with wine and
the assumption that everyone fancies themselves an amateur sommelier.
Individuals falling into the latter group will be happy to know that there is a
new restaurant on the scene successfully combining delicious food and a commitment
to wine selection and availability that even the harshest wine critics would
approve of.

What do you do when you want to create a mysterious, yet
separate section of an existing restaurant that caters to your dedicated
regulars and those clever enough to solve the puzzle? Well, you open up Eleanor’s,
which is an extension of the already-established Muss & Turner’s
restaurant. A place like Eleanor’s is practically made for those that love to
stay out late, while indulging in delectable light bites and a fully stocked
bar. Located just off Cumberland Parkway in Smyrna, there is a new age
underground club feeling to this place, yet there is also a familiar tavern
vibe that the Atlanta restaurant scene is missing.

one of the surprises you’re likely to find.
