"Opening Wednesday, October 23, at the sprawling Halcyon development on the southern edge of Forsyth County near Alpharetta, I note the restaurant occupies a contemporary barn-like building with a covered patio featuring a fireplace and water feature. The menu is a mixed bag of raw-bar selections, fish and shellfish dishes, po’boys and burgers, and platters of pork chops and rib-eyes, while a soup, salad, and sandwich combo includes lobster bisque, a crab louie, and a lobster roll. The bar offers beer and wines by the glass and rum, vodka, and gin cocktails such as the Breakwater (gin, lemon, and grapefruit sweetened with lavender simple syrup). It opens daily at 11 a.m.; the location is 6290 Halcyon Way, Suite 620, Alpharetta, and more information is available at oceanandacre.com." - Beth McKibben
