5CHURCH EXPANDS TO MIDTOWN
ATLANTA IN EARLY 2016
Top Restaurateurs Connect
Three of the South’s Tastiest Towns
ATLANTA (July 27, 2015)–
Restaurateurs Patrick Whalen, Ayman Kamel, Alejandro Torio and Jamie Lynch are
announcing their plans to open a third location of 5Church in Midtown Atlanta early in the first
quarter of 2016. The restaurant, which has an existing location in Charlotte
and a second opening in Charleston, will be located at 1197 Peachtree Street
NE. Serving lunch and dinner daily along with weekend brunch, 5Church offers a technique-driven
menu that blends a casual, yet refined dining approach for a memorable experience.
The name of the restaurant comes from its original location, the corner of 5th
and Church Street, in Uptown Charlotte.
“We love the growth that’s happening
in Atlanta and feel there is a lot of continuity between Charlotte, Charleston
and Atlanta,” explains Kamel, who will be moving to Atlanta with his family to
operate 5Church locally. “We look forward to enhancing the Midtown restaurant
scene with a 360-degree dining experience that blends award-winning food with
top rate service and nationally acclaimed design.”
The team behind 5Church brings a
wealth of operations, marketing and culinary talent to the table and credits
their combined forces for the success of their dining concept.
“Our philosophy is ‘there is only we’
because we believe as a company that no one person can make a business
successful,” says Kamel, whose expertise lies in growth strategies, business
improvement and systems optimization within the hospitality industry. “We are a
varied team with different backgrounds who respect each other’s areas of
expertise.”
At 5Church, guests will be drawn to
the restaurant’s eye-catching design. The restaurant speaks to guests who are
looking for a top-notch meal and the service to match but who are also in
search of an ambiance that reaches beyond the typical restaurant environs. The neo-Victorian
décor features white concrete bars, black leather banquettes, imaginative chandeliers
and large-scale artwork created by local artists. The hand-painted ceiling will
feature Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” in its entirety. 5Church will seat 185
guests downstairs with an additional rooftop dining space upstairs.
Jamie Lynch, who is both a partner and
the restaurant’s executive chef, boasts an impressive culinary background including
Le Cirque, Aureole and Café Boulud, as well as Blue and Barrington’s in
Charlotte. Since opening 5Church, he has been recognized as Charlotte Magazine’s Best Chef for the past three consecutive years. His menu
will feature many 5Church favorites such as the famed “60 second” NY strip
steak and 5Church lamb burger with red onion marmalade and Gorgonzola fondue along
with new, locally sourced dishes original to the Atlanta restaurant. A
200-bottle wine list curated by an in-house certified sommelier and a selection
of specialty cocktails and craft beers will complement Lynch’s menu.
With help from Atlanta-based real
estate company, The Shumacher Group, the 5Church team is happy to be joining
the Midtown neighborhood in early 2016.
5Church is located at Colony Square, 1197
Peachtree Street NE in Midtown. The restaurant will offer a private event space
as well as on-site parking and complimentary valet. For updates, follow the
