Openings
Aria will close for the week of April 24 to May 1, 2016, for an extensive renovation. Stacey Kirby of Atlanta’s Seiber Design is in charge of the project, which, she says, will give the popular Buckhead restaurant warm gray walls, bright canary yellow drapes and glowing backlit custom mirrors, along with new leather banquettes. An oversize antique mirror will appoint the upstairs dining room and white oak tabletops will serve the banquettes in the main dining room. Aria’s bar area will be opened up with seating for casual diners (no reservations required), and will feature a new white marble bar top along a rich walnut bar. The plan is to reduce the formality of the previously stark white space, although the exterior will still sparkle with its signature white tones. New black accents on windows and the door will be added, however, along with a new sign. Aria reopens for dinner on May 2 at 5:30 p.m. Aria, 490 E. Paces Ferry Rd. NE, Atlanta, GA 30305, 404-233-7673.
Justin Anthony closed his Yebo restaurant in Phipps Plaza on April 1 in preparation for its move to the former Coast address that was part of Tom Catherall's Here to Serve restaurant group. Yebo, which means "yes" in South Africa, is to morph into Yebo Beach Haus and open on Tuesday, April 26, 2016, a little later than anticipated but not by much. There will be some South African touches on the menu, such as boerewors meatballs and shrimp peri-peri tacos, but the concept overall involves more small plates than were available at the previous iteration. Anthony's wife Kelly, an interior designer, has revamped the space, giving it a beachy feeling. Lunch will be added shortly after its opening. Yebo Beach Haus, 111 W. Paces Ferry Rd. NW, Atlanta, GA 30305, no phone.
Roswell's The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill opened for lunch during the week as of Monday, April 18, 2016 (it was previously only offered on weekends). Fresh fish entrées and sandwiches featuring fish highlight the menu; ample starters and salads are still available. Anyone not eager for fish will find a burger and a jerk chicken sandwich. Lunch & Dinner daily. The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill, 1105 Canton St., Roswell, GA 30075, 770-993-5749.
After more than four decades in its location on Cheshire Bridge Road, Alfredo's will have to move or close as the property has been sold and will be redeveloped as an apartment complex. Owner Perry Alvarez says he is trying to find another location. Meanwhile, fans --- and the old-school establishment has plenty of them --- will need to make reservations if they plan to have a final meal at the present address, as the crowds have been even more intense than usual. The last date is uncertain, but likely will be by the end of April 2016. Alfredo's, 1989 Cheshire Bridge Rd. NE, Atlanta, GA 30324, 404-876-1380.
