Fire!

There was a hood fire at The Optimist yesterday, and the oyster bar/fish camp will be closed through lunch today. Word is that the restaurant hopes to open before dinner; call 'em before you go in since there's no word of the fire on Facebook or Twitter; (404) 477-6260. Update: Insiders tell us they'll be closed for dinner as well. Update 10/25: Tipsters report the restaurant will be closed "for about a week or two."
Update 10/28: The restaurant hopes to reopen by next Monday, November 4. [EaterWire]
