Message in a Bottle Seafood Restaurant and Raw Bar Is Opening at the Village Dunwoody | Eater Atlanta

"A beach-inspired, 100-seat seafood restaurant from Dash Hospitality (the team behind Morty’s Meat and Supply and Barn Booze and Bites) slated to open this fall in the Village Dunwoody. Modeled on beach favorites like Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar, the Fish House, and Cottage Cafe, it will serve “superior seafood and sailor spirits” for dinner and weekend brunch. The menu ranges from grouper sandwiches, barbecue shrimp, and Cobb salad to crab claws and fish en papillote, while a raw bar will offer oysters, poke, ceviche, and sashimi. The space includes a dining room and screened porch, a coastal-focused cocktail program (tiki, Caribbean, rum and tequila drinks), and a wine list favoring lighter reds and seafood-friendly whites. The restaurant opens onto the complex courtyard—which has a large outdoor screen and a stage for live music and events—and is the third new eatery in the Village Dunwoody as part of owner David Abes’ revitalization project." - Beth McKibben
