All-Female Culinary & Management Leadership Team

Open For Dinner With Lunch Starting in November & Weekend Brunch To Follow in January

 

Rose + Rye restaurant and bar is now open in The Castle, Midtown Atlanta’s iconic mansion with a storied history at 87 15th Street NE. Three levels of dining and drinking space include multiple outdoor patios and rooms for private events. Rose + Rye is headed up by an all-female culinary and management leadership team.

THE MENU

Open for dinner with lunch and brunch to follow, Rose + Rye serves refined American fare with a global reach. Both the food and drink menu are rooted in the season and will change often. Guests can expect creative dishes designed to please the eye and the palate, including Smoked Caesar Salad with baby kale, smoked yogurt, parmesan cookie crumble, and soft boiled egg; Seared snapper with celery root puree, Anson Mills farro, wild cherries & redux, and Chicken Mole with braised Joyce Farms chicken, crispy rice patty, and wilted kale.

THE PLACE

Built by Ferdinand McMillan the early 1900’s, The Castle is a historic landmark and one of Atlanta’s last marquis properties. After acquiring it in the late 1940s, Hazel Roy Butler opened the home to local artists, who often paid their rent with works of art. The architecturally unique building is known for its long-term connection to the local arts community.

The first floor of the space is “The Grotto,” a bar with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling rock wall as the backdrop. Stairs leading up to the second floor reveal an open kitchen, chandeliers, and floors restored from original materials, where a larger bar area is separated from the dining room. On the third level, Rose + Rye’s private event space features three private dining rooms, as well as a second outdoor patio lined with original columns and unparalleled views overlooking Woodruff Arts Center and Midtown Atlanta.
