• Umi Sushi opens Monday in Buckhead

Umi sushi makes its debut today at 3050 Peachtree Road in Buckhead. With a 23-foot custom bar built from white oak, dark green banquettes, and hand-charred cypress walls, the interior is a scene of aesthetic delight where patrons can enjoy dishes such as yellowtail with jalapeño, spicy tuna kamikaze rolls, and grilled black cod misoyaki.

Ford Fry's much-anticipated open-hearth restaurant, King + Duke, is officially open in the former Nava space at 3060 Peachtree Road. Menu items range from candied lamb belly to charred octopus salad to a little gems salad with chicken schnitzel.

CousCous has quietly opened at 560 Dutch Valley Road. The approachable Mediterranean cuisine is a good fit for the Midtown market - particularly the hungry lunch crowd who want something tasty but affordable. Dishes include Barbary brined pork confit with cauliflower purée, arugula apple salad, and brandied grape sauce; kefteji butternut squash with potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and harissa; and Merguez lamb sausage with kefteji and mint-rosemary aioli.

In-towners now have a dedicated crepe restaurant of their own in Julianna's Coffees & Crepes, newly opened at 775 Lake Ave. The new eatery serves up renditions of the Old World classic from a vintage house in Inman Park, creating sweet and savory varieties that incorporate local produce and Georgia-made preserves. Try indulgent treats like the "Lemon Love" or "the Almighty," combining melted Nutella with fruit, Nutella whipped cream, minced walnut, and bananas.
