Back in August the owner of the Sage Woodfire Tavern Windy Hill had put the restaurant up for sale less than a year after opening. A reader passed by recently and alerted us that it that it looked like it had closed.
The restaurant did reach its first-year anniversary in October, but closed not long after that. According to a posting on its Facebook page, Sage Woodfire Tavern shuttered its doors on Oct. 28.
There was no word on whether the property has been sold, or what might come in its place. It opened in October 2017 in the spot of the former Houston’s restaurant.
The parcel at 3050 Windy Hill Road, at the intersection of Powers Ferry Road, is adjacent to, but not part of, a block of land that made up “Restaurant Row.” Those mostly vacant restaurant buildings will make way for a mixed-use development approved by Cobb commissioners that will include the remaining restaurant, the Rose & Crown Tavern.
The Sage closing is the second in the East Cobb area in the last couple years for the Sage Woodfire Tavern group, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as it sought a buyer for the Windy Hill property.
The Sage Social Kitchen was open for only a few months at Merchants Festival. The space is now occupied by Jason’s Deli, which opened earlier this month.
Just before it closed, the Windy Hill restaurant was promoting a new Sunday jazz brunch menu, as well as a new happy hour menu and live music performances.
Sage Woodfire Tavern locations remain in Dunwoody and Buckhead.

I miss the restaurants in the Powers Ferry area. The Sage did not stay long enough for all of us to go. There was not a lot if advertising. I miss Houstons. I hope they can rejuvenate this area; I live here and with all these newer, expensive condos and townhouses you would think the area would be booming with some great restaurants. Very frustrating!
Restaurant row is going to be redeveloped into a mixed-use project, with Rose and Crown remaining.
