Botanica Kitchen and Bar
Rooftop restaurant Botanico Kitchen and Bar in Buckhead closes after one year above Savi Provisions on Pharr Road citing a recent uptick in crime in the area. Plans to “reinvent the brand” and relocate the club-like Mexican restaurant and bar are already underway, a statement posted to Botanico’s socialmedia pages and its website indicates.
However, a representative speaking on behalf of Savi Provisions and owner Paul Nair says crime isn’t the reason for the closure of the restaurant.
“The location has been sold to the franchisee along with the lease. Botanico and the franchisee could not agree on the operation and terms, so the franchisee decided to terminate,” the spokesperson tells Eater in an email, who declined to provide details on what might replace Botanico.
