Those of us who live just south of Victory Drive were certainly saddened when Atlantic became a COVID collateral closure this past summer.
No one would dare blame owners Jason and Jennifer Restivo and partner Ida Rush George for choosing not to reopen their ‘neighborhood eatery’ in the thick of the pandemic, but that prudent decision left an overt void in a fabulously renovated space as well as our collective appetites.
Come the last week of March or the first week of April, eager eaters will be back at 102 E. Victory Drive when new owners Tyler and Kara Kopkas and Steve and Mary Paschall open the doors at Ardsley Station.

One step inside Common Thread and you will see that this second restaurant in the FARM family is extraordinary.
Every inch of the stately 19th-century home on the northwest corner of East 37th Street and Abercorn has been immaculately renovated into an upscale country midtown retreat. Tribe Called Quest and LL Cool J coming over the speakers is not just the music for the daytime prep crew.
From the decor to the dining, Common Thread is the New Old South.
Cuisine cousin
“There are parallels,” co-executive chef and co-owner Brandon Carter promised about the food experiences at FARM in Bluffton and now its sister restaurant Common Thread in Savannah, “but it’s also not the same.”
The authentic flavors of Mexico are now being served at Plant Riverside s newest restaurant and bar, the Savannah Tequila Co.
The restaurant opening over Valentine s Day weekend despite cold and wet weather was a hit with about 450 customers on the second day of business, said Executive Sous Chef Shahin Afsharian.
Savannah Tequila Co. overlooks the Savannah River and is on the street level of the Three Muses building at Plant Riverside.
While the restaurant s location could attract lots of tourist traffic, hometown customers are also discovering the cantina-style space. Locals have been so excited, he added.
Afsharian has worked for about four years for the Kessler Collection, which owns Plant Riverside. He spent about two and half years, first as chef of the cooking school at the Mansion at Forsyth, and then began his new post at the JW Marriott at Plant Riverside. As an executive sous chef, Afsharian supervises all 10 restaurants at Plant Riverside.
