Hello Everyone,

2011 is off to a great start in spite of "snowpocalypse." Business is brisk and we are excited about the coming year.  The first phase of Historic Fourth Ward Park, including the lake and the falls, is set to open at the end of February. Shortly after, we serve our first brunch on Sunday March 6! (current menu below) As with our dinner menu, we will adapt to our guests to ensure only the most delicious local, sustainable and all natural products find their way to your plate. We tried very hard to do the types of things people love about brunch, while still maintaining our originality and creativity.  It's what has gotten us this far. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we enjoy having you here, and we look forward to your feedback.

In other news, our pastry chef Chrysta Umberger is getting a lot of much deserved notice lately. Her "chocolate manjari cremeux" was mentioned as one of Atlanta's best desserts for Valentine's Day by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and she will be competing in the Taste of the Nation Great American Bake Sale in March. Chrysta's famed sticky toffee pudding was also named on of Atlanta's "Top Five Dishes" a few weeks ago by the AJC's Access Atlanta.

We recently filmed part of an episode of National Public Television's "Growing a Greener World with Joe the Gardener." The show, which highlights organic and sustainable practices, revolves around PodPonics, a local hydroponic grower who supplies us with heirloom lettuces and other products and is located just around the corner from the restaurant.  The segment will air later this summer and will show us preparing and serving an Heirloom Lettuce salad. We'll keep you posted!
