TROIS Dining Room to Undergo Renovations

To better please guests, Concentrics Restaurants will close the main dining room of TROIS restaurant for renovations to be completed by summer's end.

The Bar at TROIS will remain open Tuesday through Saturday from 5:30 pm until close and will served a dinner menu by Chef Todd Ginsberg. The restaurant's event space will also remain open. A new restaurant concept is scheduled to take over all three spaces in September 2009.

Renovations to the restaurant come in response to focus groups and guest surveys that indicated that TROIS was not meeting guest expectations. The new concept, featuring new decor and menu selections, has not been completely solidified.

Local patrons of TROIS are encouraged to visit The Bar at TROIS and any of the other ten Concentrics Restaurants in Atlanta while the dining room is being renovated.
