Had brunch last Sunday – they nailed it. Without a doubt, my new favorite brunch spot in Atlanta. Try the chef’s breakfast, it was amazing. I have been going to OES since it opened and they are for sure on the right track (fingers crossed).

I was in there this past weekend and the place was packed. We enjoyed it and hope it stays open for years to come.

Hi AMG,
I’m not sure what you expect me to edit. The public statements made by the bartender and the chef simply reiterate what the owner said. Those comments alone aren’t going to make me redact anything I’ve written. Had I initially ignored the restaurant’s position (that they aren’t closing), then there would be something to change.

Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts,

Surely, if 3 employees at the venue including the owner correct you, shouldn’t you edit the post? You heard a rumor that turned out not to be true. The owner has confirmed the venue isn’t closing. So the words “So is 1ES absolutely positively closing at the end of February? I don’t know. But it is definitely a real possibility.” is incorrect. You DO know that they are not closing at the end of February because the owner told you they weren’t. Why don’t you update the post?

Ms. Mattern,
I don’t even have the energy to retort with any effort. Thanks for reading.

Oh… Fattie Buddha oops… I meant Foodie Buddha… Why in the world would you start such a terrible rumor? Is it because you are so bored with your life and have no friends? Therefore, you feel you must bring negativity into others lives.
The Stag is an EXCELLENT Restaurant with a GREAT looking space. The food is FANTASTIC and has gotten nothing but good reviews. The Wine list is very much up to par. Especially, the BTB (I am certain you don’t know this but that means By the bottle)prices. Wont find such fine wines priced so nicely anywhere else in town. They have a nice beer selection and a delicious cocktail list.
I know from experience that the Owner/Manager thrives on giving EXCELLENT service and keeping their staff very well trained and educated on food and wine(coming from you though it would be whine). Phalen, takes MUCH and I mean MUCH PRIDE in his food. He prides himself by using only the most LOCAL,ORGANIC,SEASONAL and FARM RAISED ingredients available. You will not find anything canned or jarred in his pantry….unless, of course he did it himself.

Robert,Zoe and Chef are very much involved in the neighborhoods (meaning Holy TACO too…Yes,I know. You think thats a stupid name)By having fundraisers Toys for Tots and Springvale park just to name a few. They also are very much involved with helping and rescuing dogs.I would say the community very much admires them and their involvement.

That being said… I am sure you wont post this because you are so very sensitive. I just think you should know starting NEGATIVE RUMORS like that is very unwarranted and unfair. I suggest you go somewhere nice and warm and meditate for some time and regain some positive energy and learn to spread that around instead.
Love,
Alycia

Sorry if you think my duty is to go around and say nice things. It’s not. As I said in the post, I hope your food continues to get better (as it has during my follow up visits). You have little to gain by taking pot shots at me. If you aren’t being sarcastic, then pardon my misinterpretation.
