East Cobb restaurant update: Reunion Kitchen relocating

A little more than two years after opening in the former Red Sky Tapas space, Reunion Kitchen and Bar said Tuesday the restaurant will be relocating

Management wrote on the Reunion Facebook page Tuesday afternoon that the decision is due to “the continued rise in rent and operating costs.”

“East Cobb has meant so much to us, and this community will always be part of the Reunion story,” the message began.

Reunion will close at the end of this week for the rest of the summer and “begin preparing for our next chapter. This is not goodbye—just a pause while we work toward reopening Reunion in our new home.”

The message didn’t indicate where the restaurant would be moving, or to say if it would remain in East Cobb, only that it wouldn’t be far away.

“We would love to see all of our amazing guests and friends one more time this week, so come enjoy dinner, cocktails, live music, and celebrate the memories we’ve created together,” the message said.

East Cobb News has left a message with Reunion co-0wner Ilene Kapper Oxman, who said in response that “I prefer not to say until the week is over” when asked about where the restaurant will be relocated. “I need to finish negotiating.”

Oxman, a former East Cobb resident, opened Reunion in April 2024 with two other partners at the Market Plaza Shopping Center (1255 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 16) with an upscale dinner menu and live music to try and fill the void of Red Sky, which closed in 2022.

Initially the new restaurant was to be called 1255 Social, reflecting the street address.

Oxman, who has been an owner Harry’s Pizza and Subs in Sandy Springs, said at the time the name was switched to Reunion “as a testament to the power of bringing people together. Whether it’s a gathering of family, friends, or colleagues, Reunion is the place where memories are made, and connections are forged.”
