Atlanta`s culinary whiz kid Paul Luna has opened yet another spot, and this one is a bistro almost hidden in the back of the local chi-chi antique boutique strip. It would make sense for Luna to make us of the proximity to the dumpsters of those shops -- he could score some not bad chairs and such. He probably didn`t, but the decor is rife with appropriate shabby gentility; there`s even an old piano in the corner. That`s the kind of thing that makes Eclipse more than just another sandwich shop.
