Thank you, Atlantic House Restaurant

When I was on social media yesterday before heading out to dinner, a post popped up that stopped me in my tracks. It really floored me. 

Atlantic House Restaurant announced they were closing. For good. 

And while this may be a quick response to the announced closing, I had to express my utmost respect and appreciation for one of the greatest restaurants this town has ever seen. That includes the staff, too. 

Owner Roz Wyndham is no stranger to the restaurant industry. 

Remember Roz's Rice Mill Cafe? It was located in The Hammock Shops in Pawleys. She was earning accolades left and right there. And the food was quoted good enough to make you move to Pawleys Island and eat there everyday by Southern Living magazine.

But when she moved to Screven Street, she was able to focus on her passion for creating awesome dishes. 
​I wanted a smaller restaurant where I could get back to my true love-cooking and being with customers and less time being a manager of a business.

And you did exactly that. Even winning the People's Choice Award for the 2013 Taste of Georgetown.

​​The quaint ambiance of the restaurant welcomes you in like a breath of fresh air. The food is cooked to order. The offerings are unique and plentiful. 

And there's still time to enjoy the food.

May 16th will be their last dinner serving and the last lunch served will be on May 16th. 

I cannot express how thankful I am to have experienced the tastes offered here and the people met.

Shawn has been a consistent, stand-up host and server. Always on point with delivering a great experience. 

And Roz is and always will be a good friend. I remember when my daughter played softball for the high school and my wife and I had to work the concession stand one night. I reached out to Roz and asked her if she'd be willing to make her famous chili for hot dogs. She lit up like the 4th of July. Happy to do so. I was so excited, I made a print out and posted on the outside of the stand to exclaim where this chili proudly came from. Made it a point to refer people to the restaurant to try more dishes. 

And there are more stories about Roz and her giving back to a community she loves. 

But, she and her staff need to know they were loved, too. Not only for the food.

For providing a pleasant, safe escape from the hustle and bustle of the world. A warm smile and embracing hospitality. 

Thank you, Atlantic House Restaurant, for contributing to the culinary adventure of Georgetown, S.C.
