Himitsu Japanese cocktail lounge was nominated by the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards as one of eight finalists for the honor in North and South America. While the co owner Farshid Arshid didn’t take home the top award in London on Sept. 29, it was still quite a recognition considering the global awards receive more than 5,000 entries.

Phipps Plaza is getting an update, and part of that includes more food options. Fast-casual Earl of Sandwich opened in October. Savannah-based Daniel Reed’s Public Kitchen & Bar will become part of the shopping center’s new Peachtree Road entrance in fall 2017. And Ecco’s new location will be a freestanding building outside Phipps at the corner of Peachtree and Wieuca roads. It’s also scheduled to open in late 2017.
