"Opening a second location at the Modera complex on Roswell Road in Sandy Springs for dine-in service, the restaurant is using pandemic-era safety measures such as QR-code smartphone ordering to minimize time spent with servers and tables spaced six feet apart; it does not appear to offer takeout. Menus feature the brand’s lunch and dinner standards—chargrilled oysters, a lobster roll, and a prime New York strip steak—plus raw-bar selections, daily entrée specials and desserts like crème brûlée. The concept began in Vinings nearly 15 years ago; owners Rich Clark and Jon Schwenk closed a Roswell (Etris Road) outpost in May after four years due to the pandemic but moved forward with this Sandy Springs opening, and they also operate Hugo’s Oyster Bar in Roswell. Reported hours are Monday–Thursday 11:30 a.m.–10 p.m.; Friday 11:30 a.m.–11 p.m.; Saturday 5 p.m.–11 a.m.; Sunday 5 p.m.–9 p.m." - Beth McKibben
