In December 2008, Craft Atlanta, a branch of Tom Colicchio's New York based restaurant, opened in a freestanding building in front of The Mansion. The interiors were designed by Bentel & Bentel Architects of New York. Milton Pate Architects of Atlanta again served as the Architect of Record for the interior build-out. Freese Construction Company of Atlanta served as the general contractor for the build out. The restaurant closed shortly before Valentine's Day 2010. Del Frisco's Grille opened in the space in late 2012. The restaurant is not part of the hotel business. ==See also==
