Omnivore - WaterHaven to open May 15 in old Globe location

This just in from the PR folks:

On Friday, May 15, Restaurateur Joe McCarthy will open his new seasonally-inspired restaurant, called WaterHaven, within Midtown Atlanta’s Technology Square. Serving lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, with lunch service beginning on May 18, WaterHaven offers a welcoming retreat from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta’s urban activity.

Executive Chef Chris Lee’s menu features contemporary American fare that highlights local farms and purveyors. Focusing on two to three components per dish, Lee lets his local ingredients shine for sustainable and Southern-inspired meals.

WaterHaven’s décor, created by Marc Moscript, features mustard and olive green hues and a warm, cozy ambience. The restaurant offers 150 seats indoors and an additional 80 on the patio, as well as a semi-private room that seats up to 65 people and features a transparent wine wall separating it from the main dining room. A large stone water feature is the focal point of WaterHaven’s bar area, which also contains a long zinc bar for guests to gather while sipping and snacking.
