12th & Midtown Project Nabs Fig Jam Kitchen Restaurant
Restaurant, which is moving from Brookwood Station, plans to open in the fall.
The 12th & Midtown development project is adding Fig Jam Kitchen & Bar to its retail line-up.
The eatery will relocate from Brookwood Place and take 2,000 square feet in the 77 12th building, which will be a 23-story tower that will feature 330 high-end one- and two-bedroom apartments anchored by 20,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.
The restaurant expects to open in the fall.
“We are excited about the new 12th & Midtown location because we feel our concept fits with the neighborhood, and the area is becoming very metropolitan with great diversity,” Costanzo Astarita, Fig Jam Kitchen & Bar partner, said in a statement.
"Fig Jam is a creative and unique dining destination in Atlanta, and we are honored to bring it to 12th & Midtown," said Shirley Gouffon, senior vice president of Selig Enterprises, which, along with Daniel Corp and Northwestern Mutual is partnering on the construction.
“Our dining component showcases international cuisine, and Fig Jam perfectly exemplifies that with a new American menu that is local and authentic, yet internationally inspired.”
The project's other roster of restaurants include STK, Cucina Asellina, Ri Ra Irish Pub, RA Sushi, Mi Cocina and Piola; Café Intermezzo, Taco Diner, Tabla and Panera Bread. All of them are projected to open later this year.

Terrible. Fig Jam is not only a restaurant that hopped on to the craft cocktail / rustically chic trend far too late, but the execution is terrible. I've had better cocktails at college frat parties, and the food tastes like someone with no real culinary expertise purchased a hipster cookbook and didn't follow the instructions.
I had put down a deposit for one of the units here, but I honestly think I might pass. I had hoped this would be a bit more of a unique building, but after having seen the sample finishes and the roster of upcoming commercial tenants, it looks like it'll be more of the same stale product that already exists.

Newsflash! Urbanist complains about development in Midtown. Also topping the headlines, the sky is blue and water is wet.

If you've really been over there and looked closely at the building layout the crowning diamond is going to be the pool. Unobstructed Southern exposure is going to rock that deck from May to Oct. That just may turn out be the hottest Sat/Sun afternoon ticket in the city.

I will have to break out the Wicked Weasel and get a wax for the pool
