Benihana Readies RA Sushi For Early June Opening

Benihana's RA Sushi is opening in midtown at 1010 and is on schedule to open in early June. RA Sushi is Benihana's more relaxed and casual eatery and should fit in nicely with the midtown community.

30 Tables & 11 Stories Opening May 1st

Third times the charm or so hopes Concentrics with their upcoming eatery 30 Tables. Taking the restaurant and bar spaces that most recently housed Jeffrey Chodorow's inaugural Maxim Prime eatery and prior to that B.E.D. No prior concept has lasted long and abruptly closed over the past few years. Concentrics quietly stepped in and took continued operation of the restaurant simply for hotel guests over the past couple months as extensive renovations were completed in the existing spaces. Maxim Prime utilized the rooftop bar for their popular "sky bar" and Concentrics will also utilize the premier rooftop with perfect city views, its new name 11 Stories. Both the restaurant and rooftop bar include numbers in their names in staying with Amick's themes of numerical establishments. Repeat Atlanta!

Pizza Pizza! Concentrics Entering The Pizza Biz

Bob Amick is at it again, this time entering the Pizza business. Max's Coal Oven Pizzeria will open next door to fellow Concentrics concept STATS later this spring. Serving a variety of fare including authentic New York style pizza, pastas and salads, the eatery will also serve " coal oven wings" in their 1000-degree coal-fired pizza oven. Though some may say Amick entered the pizza business with his rare failure that was Piebar, this new concept sounds like a winner and is going in an area that has limited pizza options since the abrupt closing of Slice Pizza on Howell Mill last year.
