"Hoping to open in March at Alpharetta City Center, this 3,000-square-foot seafood restaurant and mezcal bar—co-owned by Louis Soon and led by chef Blake Hartley—will offer a daily-changing menu of fresh-made pastas and seasonally driven seafood, highlighting line-caught fish, East Coast and Gulf oysters, Alabama crab, and tuna from Louisiana. The bar will feature more than 100 mezcals available for cocktails or in one- and two-ounce pours. The interior is accented with white and green tiles and white walls, includes a raw bar and main dining room, and seats roughly 125–140 guests; there's also a greenhouse-inspired, all-weather patio. The venue will open for dinner at first, with plans to add lunch and a weekend brunch within a few weeks after opening." - Beth McKibben
