Sometimes, girls just need a super girly place to go and get together.
My friend, Emily, had her 22nd birthday last weekend, so we decided to have a few of us get together to celebrate her birthday this past Friday. When I was trying to think of where to go, I asked my co-worker, Kim, about a good place to go in Roswell. Emily is from Roswell, so we wanted it to be convenient for her (aren’t we thoughtful friends??). Kim suggested a place called Party Chic on Canton Street.
Um, please just look at the Web site and tell me it’s not the girliest place to go. I love it.
So, the decision was made right then that we’d meet there on Friday night. I drove with my friend Stephanie from Buckhead to meet the crew: Emily, Amber, Sam, and Lindsey. Yay for birthday parties!
Stephanie and I got there a little early and staked out a table on the porch. It was still hot outside, but there was a shady tree that cooled us off. We started off with some cocktails with Stephanie ordering a glass of the house chardonnay, and I ordered their Orange Martini.
Eh, I’d say if you go to Party Chic, stick with the vino.
So, the rest of the girls got there, and look what we found on the porch! …a baby bird 
I wanted to film it, but there was a really bad glare on the camera. That’s why the bird’s nest goes off the screen for a second. haha
If I had to describe Party Chic, this is what I’d say: It’s a tea room that’s open for dinner and has a full bar.
Do you kind of get what it’s like? I’m sorry I didn’t take many pictures, but I hope the videos are fun.
Since they serve small plates, most of us ordered a salad and two heartier plates to share. Since it was Emily’s birthday celebration, we let her pick and got the bleu cheese dip with potato chips and black bean and corn salsa with tortilla chips.
It was the perfect, light summer meal. I’m not usually a bleu cheese fan, but that dip was GOOD! It came with (what seemed like) home made Ruffles chips, and they were really crispy. My fave. The salsa was also nice and fresh. I loved the mix of the black beans and corn was sweet, and it hit the spot on a summer night.
To complement the appetizers, I ordered the Party Chic salad which was mixed greens with oil and vinegar, tomatoes, and goat cheese crumbles. Yum!
Of course, a birthday isn’t complete with a little dessert. We each ordered something different, and Stephanie and I split their strawberry shortcake. Um, from now on I’m substituting pound cake for shortcake. Holy crap! It was soooo good, and it was perfect with an ice cream scoop on top. Emily and Lindsey split a piece of chocolate cake, which was the chocolatiest chocolatey thing you’ve ever had, and Amber and Sam had red velvet cupcakes.
Sound good? I think so.
So, verdict? Drink wine, not cocktails. Eat on the porch if it’s cool enough outside. Come knowing you’re not going to have the same amount of food as Ted’s Montana Grill. Don’t bring a group of dudes. After you’re done eating, explore downtown Roswell!
I’m definitely going to go back to Party Chic.
Happy Birthday, Emily!
