Restaurants 4th and Swift opens

(621 North Ave., Bldg. B, 678-904-0160) has opened and it's one of the most interesting interiors I've seen in our city in some time.
The design firm of ai3 didn't merely incorporate elements of the old Southern Dairies engine room, but heightened the overall post-industrial effect. I especially like the way the light is managed to partition the large, open space (although it sure isn't helpful to photographers). Imagine a swank dining space in Blade Runner.
I dined there Sunday, during the restaurant's "soft opening" and had a very good meal, including this escabeche of white shrimp with a roasted cauliflower salad.
The restaurant did not have its pouring license when we visited, so if that's important to you, call ahead to find out if it's gotten one yet.
I'll have more to say in an upcoming Grazing column.
