"Leaning into the “rose all day” mantra, I see a 10,000-square-foot, two-floor restaurant and bar opening in 2024 at the emerging High Street development in Dunwoody along Perimeter Center Parkway and Hammond Drive that’s billed as a summery “nautical escape.” It features a coastal garden design vibe and a weathered color palette with chair swings, string lights, faux ivy, hanging plants, beachy decor, and a photo-ready wall of starfish and flowers; seating is a mix of tables and lounge areas inside plus a similar patio overlooking the central green space. The drinks menu centers on rosé—served by the glass, bottle, and in scalloped seashell bowlfuls—alongside spritzy cocktails and frozen drinks like frosé, and the food leans into that nautical pairing with seafood towers, oysters, and lobster rolls for lunch and dinner and brunch offerings such as monkey bread, bananas foster French toast, and crab cakes. As the first Hampton Social in Georgia, it’s positioned to become a “drink pink” beacon for Instagramming influencers seeking a photo op while sipping rosé from scalloped seashells with a bendy straw." - Beth McKibben
