If you spend any time looking at my instagram feed, you’ll notice a number of pictures from Craft Izakaya, a Krog Street Market Japanese eatery. You might also have noticed that all of my Craft pictures come post-7pm. Logic would follow that this is on account of the fact that Craft has been a dinner-only restaurant …

Factoid: Nava, the longstanding “Southwestern” eatery from the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, is headed for the land of restaurants past.
