I’d heard that the restaurant, which recently won an award for its architectural design, had added a menu of specials. I gotta say it was a strange experience. The place was deserted except for a few tables. My guess is that its main business Sunday is [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/07/07/depot-wins-design-award/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/07/07/depot-wins-design-award/#comments Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:51:56 +0000 Cliff Bostock http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/07/07/depot-wins-design-award/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/07/07/depot-wins-design-award/feed/ 0 The Depot (904 Memorial Dr.) has won a design award. A news release says: The Depot won Best Adaptive Use Award by Atlanta’s Urban Design Commission at its annual Awards of Excellence ceremony. The restaurant was originally a brick rail center with red tile roof that sat vacant for over 50 years before architect William Jay [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/03/14/leftovers/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/03/14/leftovers/#comments Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:23:41 +0000 Cliff Bostock http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/03/14/leftovers/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/03/14/leftovers/feed/ 2 Lisa Dreyer writes: “My husband and I are interested to know if you are aware of a restaurant in the Atlanta area that serves authentic lamb shwarma.” I referred her to Nicola’s. Other suggestions? The man needs veggie wheels: Tom Maicon, who publishes Atlanta Cuisine newspaper and operates AtlantaCuisine.com, announced the following in this month’s newsletter.

The latest to open is the Depot (904 Memorial Drive). It’s located in an old train depot and appears to be an instant hit, if Saturday night’s full parking lot was any indication.

The restaurant has been [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/01/28/the-depot/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/01/28/the-depot/#comments Mon, 28 Jan 2008 20:52:54 +0000 Besha Rodell http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/01/28/the-depot/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/01/28/the-depot/feed/ 6 JSF asks: “Any news on the ‘Depot’ at Memorial Drive at the Glenwood connector? It looks almost open and I know nothing about it. Got any insider info?” The Depot is owned by the same folks who own Vickery’s, Fontaine’s and Highland Tap. The concept there will be similar to their other restaurants — an American [...]
