    Bones is one of the best steakhouses that Atlanta has ever had. With that being said, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the stellar seafood the menu.

    Here’s what one reviewer says about Bones. “Great food! Great service! One of my favorite steak houses. I love a good lobster bisque and with Bones you can taste the sherry. The baby octopus salad with sherry was incredible. The sherry vinaigrette was light and flavorful. I am very particular about octopus and I can say the octopus here is one of my favorites. The bone in rib-eye was marbled nicely and had lots of flavor. If you haven’t been you must visit.”

I rate 5 stars when establishments meet my every day expectations but places like this make me want to rate every days a 3 so my 5’s are super special.

    Slutty Vegan’s Pinky Cole Gets $25M Investment For Expansion

    2 Min Read

    Pinky Cole, the empress of Atlanta’s vegan food empire known as Slutty Vegan recently got $25 million in Series A funding from Danny Meyer’s Enlightened Hospitality Investments and Richelieu Dennis’ New Voices Fund, AtlantaFi.com has learned.

    Meyer is the proprietor of Shake Shack, which partnered with Cole’s Slutty Vegan in 2021 to offer a burger with the vegan restaurant’s signature sauce, has been a big fan of the Slutty Vegan chain since being introduced to it a year earlier.

    “I had never seen vegan food presented in such a fun way,” Meyer told Forbes. “Leaders are often defined by the degree to which people want to follow them, and I saw people following the leader.”

    Cole, who routinely brings her food truck to U.S. cities to test the market, has been in the expansion mood for more than two years now.

    The former TV producer made the leap into the food business in 2018 when she started a food truck that sold “vegan junk food.”

    In 2019, she opened her first brick-and-mortar eatery in Atlanta’s historic Westview neighborhood on the city’s southwest side.

    Now she’s a multi-millionaire with major expansion plans, including plans to open up 10 restaurant locations this year and another 10 next year.

    Chef Deborah VanTrece Opens Oreatha’s At The Point in Cascade Heights

    3 Min Read

    If you enjoy an elegant, soulful dinner with a twist, you’ll love Oreatha’s at the Point.

    The founder of Midtown’s Twisted Soul Cookhouse and Pours recently opened her second restaurant in the city. Restaurateur and Executive Chef Deborah VanTrece helms Oreatha’s at the Point, which is named after her mother. Real estate investor Shea Embry is also a partner in the business.

    Oreatha’s at the Point began serving customers on March 31, 2022 in Cascade Heights. The eatery adds to the growing stable of restaurants opening on Atlanta’s Southside (under I-20) and may be the most anticipated.

    Chef Deborah VanTrece Opens Oreatha’s At The Point

    The theme of the new Atlanta restaurant is centered around a mother’s love, something VanTrece knows about very well. 

    Here’s what it says on the eatery’s website: “From the care that goes into the selection of the ingredients to the thoughtful preparations, this is food that nourishes the body and nurtures the soul. It comforts and reassures us. While Oreatha’s is named after VanTrece’s own mother, the restaurant is really a celebration of hard-working moms everywhere. The dishes are all inspired by different regions of the world, but all of them share one secret ingredient… a mother’s love.”

    What’s On The Menu At Oreatha’s At The Point?

    While the eatery hasn’t opened just yet, a preview from Oreatha’s at the Point’s Instagram shows Moroccan chicken tagine with vegetable saffron rice pilaf in all its glory.

    Another menu item the restaurant is teasing is a turkey burger on a brioche bun complete with fresh herbs, over a bed of spring mix & tomato, topped with cranberry mostarda.

    Check out Oreatha’s menu here.

    When Is Oreatha’s Open?

    As of now, Oreatha’s is open Wednesdays through Fridays from 5 to 10 p.m.

    • Saturday 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. ( Brunch)  and 5 to 10 p.m. (Dinner)
    • Sunday 11 to 6 (All day brunch)

    The restaurant is currently closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

    Where Is Oreatha’s at The Point Located?

    Oreatha’s at the Point is located at 2287 Cascade Rd, Unit C, Atlanta, GA. 30311. Here is a map to help you find it.

    Final Word

    Chef VanTrece’s take on global cuisine will no doubt be a hit in Cascade Heights. The eatery will add to the great black-owned restaurants you need to know about in the city.
