Free "Champagne" to start, and free dessert (Key lime pie, which I really like).  I had a glass of their "House" pinot noir which was quite respectable, and then Irish coffee.

I had their steak frite and a side of Brussels, which was a large portion indeed.  We couldn't eat more than half of it, my wife had snapper.

I topped it off at home with some Kahlua, probably too much of it.  It's a bit of a drive for us obviously and we usually don't drive to dine out unless the place is special.

I did, wasn't feeling any inebriation at all.  I did this morning though after the Kahlua.

It wasn't real Champagne anyway.

It was good whatever it was.  The whole experience was first rate.  We went to "Bones" a few years back and were broadly unimpressed, it's a place to "see and be seen", the food is fine, but not worth the $$$ to me.

I rarely go to steakhouses because steak is too easy to fix at home, for me, if I want one.  Anyway, Mac's was quite good overall.

Was the pie really tart/acidic?

It had some kind of yellow sauce on it and whipped cream on the side, so no, it wasn't very acidic.  It's not on their on line menu.

I was stuffed anyway.

I noted for my wife who was paying they offer Louis Tres, and she told me to get it if I wanted.  I didn't, one ounce would cost more than our entire meal.  A lot more.

They also offer Macallan 25, which is not as pricey, but still pricey, I didn't get that either, had it once before, never had Louis Tres.

Marietta is an interesting suburb, used to be a city in its own right before ATL metro swallowed it, the square was busy last night, as was the restaurant.  There is a lot of money up that way.

I remember Cook's Illustrated had a great Key Lime Pie recipe, but they said using real key limes was a huge pain the ass for no benefit.
