"Replacing the former 10th and Piedmont and G’s Midtown, I see Casa Almenara as a neighborhood destination for Latin American dishes centered on Tulum and Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula — Almenara meaning “beacon.” Owner Gilbert Yeremian describes it as a new chapter in his restaurant history, and the design will lean into lush coastal Tulum vibes with breezy neutral tones, reclaimed wood, and green plants throughout the dining room and bar. Expect brunch in the morning and early afternoon, followed by dinner and cocktails in the evening, plus a live entertainment series called Tulum Nights during dinner. Brunch: Wed–Fri 11:30 a.m.–5 p.m.; Sat–Sun 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Dinner: Wed–Sun from 4 p.m. until closing." - Beth McKibben
