RESTAURANT REVIEW
Everyone seems to love Billy Allin’s restaurant. A graduate of Scott Peacock’s kitchen at the Watershed Restaurant, Allin opened Cakes & Ale in 2007 with the goal of using the highest-quality ingredients and serving unassuming food that diners could enjoy in a comfortable and welcoming setting. That means starters like burrata with winter vegetables and country ham, and mains like a whole North Carolina trout with radish, salad greens and dilled yogurt sauce. A bakery attached to the restaurant is another reason this is one of the most popular restaurants in Atlanta.
