Owner Doug Turbush just sent out this message:
Here at Seed Hospitality Group, our core purpose is to provide a place for people to celebrate, create memories and escape from their busy lives. This core purpose has proven itself nearly impossible in recent days, and we are faced with the most difficult decision we have ever had to make.
Due to the ongoing crisis regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, we feel it is no longer safe or financially possible to remain open for business. Effective today, we are temporarily ceasing operations at Seed Kitchen & Bar, Stem Wine Bar and Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar. The community of East Cobb is our home and has rallied together in times of both celebration and turmoil. I expect this community to do nothing but grow stronger as a result of this hardship, and we can’t wait to be there for you when things settle down.
Rest assured, we will do the best we can to take care of our team and make sure they have a safe place to land once this terrible pandemic has passed. Stay tuned to our social media pages and website for updates on a reopening date, ways we will help, and ways you can help. On behalf of the entire team here at Seed Hospitality Group, we can’t thank you enough for your support over the past eight and a half years, and our teams look forward to welcoming you again soon.
Here are some other community closings we posted earlier today, including Stockyard Burgers & Bones. Other East Cobb restaurants were scrambling to add delivery and curbside pickup services.
Not long ago we posted this Q & A with Turbush, who celebrated eight years of Seed and last month, four years of Drift.
Also closing temporarily, and getting the word out tonight, is Aspens Signature Steaks and Seafood, which pledged that “we will be back to serving you, just as soon as we can.”
