New Atlanta restaurant: Coalition Food & Beverage in Roswell
While not as stiff and contemporary-looking as many of the restaurants you’d see in Midtown, Coalition strives for a more urban aesthetic and community feel.
Crabcakes at Coalition Food & Beverage in Alpharetta. “We look to bring the vibrancy of the city – the steel, the noise, the action, the constant swirl of things – to the suburbs,” said Ryan Pernice, RO Hospitality founder and owner. “People should feel very far from their backyard grills when they’re here. They should feel like, ‘This is where the action is!’”

A new restaurant, Flower Child, is set to open its doors in Buckhead this spring, AtlantaFi has learned. The concept is promoting the tagline “Healthy food for a happy world.”
The eatery will open at the Shops Around Lenox around the second week of July, according to reports. It is in four states so far, including Arizona, California, Texas and Nevada. Georgia would mark the concept’s first foray down South.
“Flower Child serves tasty, nourishing food for the free-spirited. Our bowls, wraps, grains, and greens are all made with fresh and responsibly-sourced ingredients that revitalize your body, mind, and soul,” a writeup on the site’s website says.
Another location is slated to open in Sandy Springs in the fall, according to news reports.
“Whether you plan to pick up and peace out, or you’re content to settle in to our cheery, colorful environment, you’ll be greeted with lightning-fast service and a smile. We’re all about happiness-prioritized dining with nutritional fare you’ll crave,” the eatery says.
The restaurant is being brought to The A by Fox Restaurants Concept, the same people behind nearby True Food Kitchen.
“They’re two different dining experiences: True Food is full-service, sit-down, with a bar. Flower Child has a different price point and a more casual environment,” owner Sam Fox says, according to Atlantamagazine.com. “We like the area. There’s a yoga place, a Lululemon, and a good health vibe.”

“A Public House is traditionally the center of its community; a place to gather and enjoy a respite from the day,” the eatery’s website says. “Here we converse, debate, and celebrate each other over a cold beer, a well-made drink or a generous glass of wine. We are devoted to delicious food, well-made drinks & enjoyable experiences.”
