8ARM

"It’s been quite a year for Atlanta restaurateurs Nhan Le and Skip Engelbrecht, which included the wildly successful opening of seafood market and cafe Fishmonger in Poncey-Highland (leading to a second location this fall) and the closure of critically acclaimed restaurant 8ARM on Ponce." - Beth McKibben

"Situated in the shadow of Ponce City Market, this tiny eatery serves inventive American fare and is regularly mentioned on best-of lists. Come here for brunch, dinner, and the late-night menu. The food is intended to be eaten family-style, so order a few items to share. After dinner, step into its intimate cocktail bar, Ink.Location: 710 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306" - MATADOR_NETWORK

"After previously announcing their intention to close 8ARM in October due to the sale of the property to a developer, Skip Englebrecht and Nhan Le (Fishmonger, Octopus Bar) instead permanently shuttered the restaurant this past weekend." - Beth McKibben

"Critically acclaimed restaurant 8ARM is closing October 8 after six years along what is now a hot dining stretch of Ponce de Leon Avenue bordering Virginia-Highland, Poncey-Highland, and the Old Fourth Ward. But its closure doesn’t come without one last menu reinvention." - Beth McKibben

"8ARM shifted menu gears again in 2021, this time to Japanese-focused dishes from chefs Hiro Endo and Allen Suh, including sushi, ramen, and traditional izakaya fare. But people can still expect the wine list here to be loaded with by-the-glass and bottle options of mostly natural and small producer sparkling, white, skin contact, rose, and red wines. For these reasons, 8ARM was a frequent dining spot for Eater Atlanta contributor Kris Martins this year." - Beth McKibben
