An unassuming warehouse entrance down a side street near Piedmont Park leads to a seductively lighted, industrial-chic restaurant. The dining room is energetic but can be loud; the back porch, on the other hand, is quieter and offers a serene view of the park and the city skyline. Small plates like the wood-roasted pizza are outstanding, as is the price-tiered wine list. Order a glass or bottle, choose several plates for the table, and share the red snapper crudo, the chicken satays, and the pancetta gnocchi with lady peas, preserved lemon butter, and quail egg. This eatery is owned by the Concentrics group, which also runs hot spots Two Urban Licks and Trois.
