    Now Open: CraftHall Kitchen Opens In Sandy Springs

    2 Min Read

    A new food concept recently opened its doors in Sandy Springs — and it’s making some noise in the restaurant scene. Crafthall Kitchen is urn by  Jennifer Rotondo, who served as a marketer for Tropical Smoothie Cafe, where her husband helms as CEO.

    Crafthall Kitchen opened quietly Thursday, April 5, according to news reports. The location is spread out in a 1,600 square-foot space.

    Now Open In Sandy Springs: Crafthall Kitchen

    The restaurant is a food hall-like space, where customers can choose from four different concepts under one roof. This is how the restaurant itself puts it:

    You have four different brands to choose from when ordering from Crafthall Kitchen…something for everyone! We want everyone to be able to enjoy great flavorful food so most of our items are free from gluten, we have plenty of vegetarian options or if you eat a protein-rich diet we have a variety of freshly roasted meats! Allow Crafthall Kitchen to to help you cater your next event!

    One of the brands, Salt & Pfeffer, features breakfast-style food any time of the day. Brunch fare includes staples like hash bowls, grit bowls and topped waffles.

    Another brand at Crafthall Kitchen is Foul & Scratch, which from its name, sounds like some serious yard bird. The eatery bills it as gourmet chicken in the tradition of Southern tradition. Other downhome offerings are chicken tenders and scratchmade sides.

    Yet another brand is Bowl Cookhouse, the healthy option at Crafthall Kitchen. Featuring a bowl of protein accompanied with wholesome fresh roasted veggies and toppings, the theme here is flavor + the necessary nutrients.

    And finally, the colorfully named Urban Sammie gives the food-truck set something to love. The influences pull from bustling city streets and the global street food scene. This is where you indulge in soups and sandwiches.

    Crafthall Kitchen is located at 1165 Perimeter Center West, Ste 303, Atlanta, GA 30346.

    Food halls are the dining craze de jour in the city. After the success of Ponce City Market, which has helped to revitalize the lower Ponce de Leon corridor, developers are looking for old warehouse-like structures to rehabilitate.

  • Report: Fox Theatre’s Marquee Club To Open In May

    2 Min Read

     The Marquee Club, the Fox Theatre’s premium space, is set to open in May, according to news reports.

    The club is said to have immaculate decor with Moroccan-style lounges, a sweeping rooftop terrace and premium food and beverage. The club’s grand opening, which was first reported in The AJC, will include with member access on Thursday, May 17 and non-member access launching Saturday May 19.

    When it was announced in 2016, Atlantans didn’t quite know what to make of the Marquee Club. Was it a nightclub? A holding space for celebrities and entertainers or what?

    “When you think of the Fox Theatre, you immediately envision our legendary twinkling marquee. Standing the test of time, the Fox Theatre marquee is a beacon for patrons of the performing arts and a signifier of nearly a decade of memories,” Allan C. Vella, Fox Theatre president and CEO said at the time. “When we were brainstorming the name, we kept circling back to that one image that holds a special place in the heart of Atlantans – the marquee. Soon after, the Marquee Club became official.”

    Guests will also get priority in ticketing options as well as other amenities connected to the $10 million renovation.

    “We see the Marquee Club as an extension of the Fox Theatre. Most obviously, the footprint but also in guest experience,” said Adina Erwin, Fox Theatre vice president and COO. “Working with Lord Aeck Sargent, a local architectural firm specializing in conservation and preservation of historic venues, we have taken great pains to ensure patrons enjoy elevated service while their transition from the theatre to the club is seamless in both feel and design.”
