I really wanted to like Leon’s, but I got food poisoning after eating there (either from the salad or from a dipping sauce, I assume). I had never had food poisoning before. it was violent and scary. One could get food poisoning from any restaurant, though, so I don’t hold it against them.

I love all of the Decatur spots listed, but I have to give a shout to Gu’s Bistro in Doraville. We tried it recently, and hubs and I cannot WAIT to go back. The cravings for their Chengdu noodles have gotten intense!

And, since it’s BYOB, we can afford to go a little more often. I cannot imagine eating food so spicy (it’s not all spicy, but our favorite dishes were) and flavorful without a great beer to wash it down!

Love Community BBQ and enjoy Cakes and Ale when we’re up for expensive. Tried Leon’s for the first time recently and loved it. For some reason, the impression I had gotten from the street walking by was that it would be more about drinking and less about good food. Loved the food.
