Dantanna's has closed its Sandy Springs location after just less than four years in business. The restaurant, located in a 5,900 square foot out-parcel of Abernathy Square shopping center at the corner of Abernathy & Roswell Roads in Sandy Springs, closed after UGA's devastating loss yesterday, Monday, January 8. The restaurant opened in April 2014, replacing what had for many years been an Applebee's restaurant before it closed in late 2013.
Dantanna's is the second location in just the past ten days to close in Abernathy Square, following the closure of Mexican eatery CT Cocina & Taqueria last week. CT opened in late 2016 in the 2,500 square foot space previously home to a failed Dickey's Barbecue Pit franchise.
Dantanna's never seemed to resonate with the local community, largely comprised of young and affluent families. The restaurant originally opened as Dantanna's Tavern before undergoing a significant renovation and re-branding effort in late 2016, and becoming more like its Buckhead and downtown outposts and shortening its name to simply Dantanna's.
The original Dantanna's in Buckhead at The Shops Around Lenox remains open, as does its second location at CNN Center in downtown Atlanta. The Buckhead and Downtown outposts, like the Sandy Springs location, replaced formerly popular restaurants. The Buckhead outpost opened in place of Bennigan's in 2003, while the downtown location opened in place of Jocks & Jills in 2009.
Are you surprised by the recent closures of both CT Cocina & Taqueria and Dantanna's? What would you like to see open in place of either restaurant? Do you think metro Atlanta simply has too many restaurants?
