Darren Carr and Eric Simpkins closed the Lawrence earlier this year, promising to breathe new life into the space with a restaurant befitting the neighborhood as it is today. It appears they’ve done just that with their latest addition to Midtown — Rwby (pronounced “Ruby”) — a welcome respite and spot to unwind over dinner and drinks away from the hustle and bustle of the city streets. No one cuisine type dominates the menu, offering a variety of dishes with broad appeal that also stick to the seasons. Dishes are easily shared, like the roasted carrot dip with garlic confit, steamed mussels, and steak tartare. Entrees see seasonality come into play in dishes like roasted acorn squash stuffed with red quinoa, kale, carrots, and fried oyster mushrooms or tangy Flemish beef cheek stew with saison Dupont, oyster mushrooms, and roasted potatoes and carrots. Expect cocktails leaning less toward heavy, dark, and stirred drinks and into lighter, brighter, and less boozy concoctions. The Amarcord Spritz, for instance, sees Cappelletti aperitivo and melon rind-infused vermouth topped with prosecco and club soda. But if you’re seeking a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, people who’ve frequented any of Simpkins’s bars in Atlanta know they can get stellar versions of those at Rwby, too. Currently open for dinner, with hours expanding in the future. Covered outdoor seating available.
