Ice cream, tacos and other restaurants coming soon

Ice cream, taco and rotisserie restau
rants are planning openings in Buck-
head.
Two of the restaurants will bring ma
jor changes to the Buckhead Marketplace
on West Paces Ferry.
“That whole area is going to look dras
tically different sometime late summer,”
Matt Schell, a construction manager at
developer Edens said at the May 1 SPI-9
meeting where the applications were re
viewed. Edens owns the shopping center
at 77 West Paces Ferry that is anchored
by Whole Foods Market.
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams and Velvet
Taco, both chains, will take the vacant
spaces next to each other in the shopping
center, he said.
The restaurants will replace the “dark
and drab exterior” and rework the side
walks to add entrances, Schell said. Both
are expected to open by late summer.
A rotisserie restaurant called Fire Hen
is planning to open in a space in the one-
story strip shopping center in the Buck-
head Village area that is also owned by
EDENS. Located at 45 Irby Avenue, the
restaurant would replace a vacant store
front and redo the faqade. An angel wing
mural was also proposed to be painted,
which the SPI committee supported.
The opening date has not been deter
mined.
A fourth restaurant was proposed for
321 Pharr Road, near The Shops Buck-
head Atlanta, but did not detail what
kind it would be. But it would bring reno
vations to the building, including the re
placing the existing stairs and “rotting”
windows, removing of a steel fence and
painting the building. It would also add
a 600-square-foot outdoor dining patio.
