BETTY

The Betty Restaurant, Garden Bar Willow Bar, and Rooftop Lounge St. Julep Are Opening at the Kimpton Sylvan Hotel in Buckhead, Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"Billed as a mid-century-inspired supper club, the Betty seats 175 between its dining room, bar, and an outdoor patio along East Paces Ferry. Executive chef Brandon Chavannes — whose previous work includes St. Cecilia and King + Duke — leads the kitchens for the restaurant, bar, and rooftop lounge, and the spaces were designed by New York–based firm Goodrich. I was told the Betty should open with the hotel in early spring; Chavannes’ menu features his takes on classic supper-club dishes like beef cheek stroganoff with black pepper gnocchi and a shrimp cocktail with preserved lime. The bar leans into whiskey- and bourbon-based drinks and classic cocktails, alongside a selection of old- and new-world wines and local and craft beers. Management says the pandemic caused them to rethink breakfast and dinner service, so the Betty will offer both menus for takeout when it opens and will eventually add weekend brunch." - Beth McKibben
