Oysters at Seaside Oyster Bar
In lieu of our annual Charleston trip, my husband and I visited Suwanee’s Seaside Oyster Bar to celebrate our anniversary, and we were speechless! From the restaurant decor, service and food, we felt like we were sitting at our favorite oyster bar on King Street. We tried several items off their menu including the hush puppies, mussels, and their glorious seafood tower. All items were delicious but our favorite was their raw oysters! Seaside has a rotating list of oysters that come served on a bed of ice along with a house-made cocktail sauce, mignonette, horseradish, and lemon wedges. Their oysters are fresh, clean and meaty! 3890 Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road, Suwanee. Facebook.com/seasideoysterbar.

Hot Cocoa at Cafe Amico
What’s better than a cup of hot cocoa on a cold winter day? Cafe Amico, located in Suwanee Town Center, is the spot to go for decadent hot chocolate creations. We love the Hot Nutella. The rim of a mug is dipped in Nutella, rolled in rainbow sprinkles, filled with hot cocoa then topped with torched marshmallows and finished off with a drizzle of chocolate. It’s sure to be a hit with the kiddos — and let’s face it, adults too. 320 Town Center Ave. in Suwanee Town Center. Facebook.com/cafeamicousa.

A Drink With All the Fixins
Over the Top Burger Bar’s Bloody Mary is just that — over the top. What is so impressive about these Bloody Marys isn’t necessarily the drink itself, but the plethora of toppings that come adorned on top. These fixins are based on a three- tier system – the higher the tier, the more fixins. For example, “The basic” is topped with Wisconsin white cheddar cheese curds, assorted veggie skewers, candied maple bacon, and bison sausage. As you move up in tier, so do the toppings, which can include bratwursts, chicken wings, cheeseburgers, and a pretzel. Over the top, indeed. 2685 Buford Hwy., Buford. OvertheTopBurger.com.
