“Dish Dive is heading for the hills,” a graphic posted to the restaurant’s Facebook page states. “Not much for long goodbyes — final service on Valentine’s Day.”

Restaurateur Jeff Myers was behind Dish Dive. The chef’s resume includes Top Flr and the Sound Table, and at one point, Myers was working on opening Smoke & Gravy at One Moreland. Myers first debuted Dish Dive to great fanfare in 2014. Among its quirks, guests had to text Myers for a reservation, and rarely could he be reached over the phone or online.

Dish Dive’s tiny quarters had seating for 25 with Myers helming the kitchen day in and day out. Amid the pandemic, Myers and the team started offering service on the front patio. Myers on Wednesday did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

  1. My hair stylist works in the space above and says that once they closed during the pandemic, they never ventured into take out or delivery, so I guess it was doomed once that happened. The announcement that they were closed for good has been on the door for almost 2 months.

    Very refreshing to see a landlord state they will not accept tenants with hookah lounges, etc. Every single one of those that’s opened around my neighborhood has been a magnet for crime.

  2. Who ate here? The place always looked like a set out of a Quentin Tarantino movie. In the 90s my friends and I used to park in their parking lot and walk over to the Heretic.

    1. The food was absolutely delicious–and always so well prepared. Never had a bad meal there, and all the servers were very kind and gracious. My friends and I will miss this Atlanta landmark so very much, and we’re truly heartbroken that it’s permanently closed.

    2. This was our favorite place for special occasions for the past 35 years! I am sooo sad. Their snapper gourmet was to die for! So sorry the covid got you…

    3. It was a Diamond in the rough. One of ATL’s best kept secrets. It was really nice inside and excellent service.The food was Absolutely Delicious. It was one of my favorite restaurants and I am completely depressed.
