"Described as serving "superior seafood and sailor spirits," the new restaurant at Village Dunwoody opened for dinner over the weekend and is fashioned after beach restaurants like Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar, the Fish House, and Cottage Cafe; seating is available in the dining room and on a screened porch. The menu features raw-bar selections including blue crab louis, shrimp cocktail, and oysters, alongside gumbo, bowls of steamed mussels, and entrees such as fried fish, seafood-laden pasta, and a Maine lobster pot pie. Wine selections lean toward lighter reds and seafood-friendly whites, and cocktails follow a coastal theme with tiki, Caribbean, rum, and tequila drinks. Message in a Bottle is open for dinner now, with weekend brunch beginning in December." - Beth McKibben
