The Sage Woodfire Tavern Windy Hill (3050 Windy Hill Road) opened for business last month (previous East Cobb News post here), but an official ribbon-cutting event is slated for Oct. 19 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The ribbon-cutting was rescheduled; the special guests include District 2 Cobb Commissioner Bob Ott, CBS 46 Meteorologist Ella Dorsey and former Georgia Bulldog/Miami Dolphin Randy McMichael.
“Our priority is to insure that our guests feel like an honored visitor in my family’s home,” said James Liakakos, President of Sage Woodfire Tavern restaurants.
After the ribbon-cutting, the restaurant will re-open to the public for normal dinner service at 3:30 p.m.
Sage Woodfire Tavern Windy Hill has a general dining room capacity of 250 and a private dining room that seats 70 for business meetings, family celebrations and other special uses.
Restaurants in the Powers Ferry Road area have had a tough go in recent years. The Sage Woodfire Tavern is located in the former Houston’s Restaurant space that’s been vacant since early 2013.
Down the street, Sal Grosso’s and TGI Friday’s have been closed; only Rose & Crown Tavern, which opened in 2010, remains in that vicinity.
What has changed is the arrival of SunTrust Park, which is drawing restaurants to the area, not just to The Battery complex adjacent to the stadium.
