Dear Savannah,

Over the last 14 weeks, together, we’ve faced some of the most difficult challenges of this generation. Navigating this storm has been tough for Jen and myself. I know it’s been tough for you, too. We’ve made courageous choices and difficult decisions we never thought we’d make.
It’s with both a saddened and strong heart, I bring this message:

Atlantic will not return for service in the Starland District.
The decision was not an easy or likeable one to make. All of us witnessed many changes within our families, neighborhoods and our city; we’ve all made effort to make lemonade from lemons.

As I write this post, I’m overflowing with joy, knowing how much I’ve grown and learned
while leading each employee at Atlantic. Serving our city, over the last 1,047 days, prepared me emotionally and mentally for this decision. For the last 30 days, I found myself spending more time preparing for the next chapter of life; taking time in one’s self is the success of one’s future.
My mind is clear because of the ever-lasting relationships created at the table and the love our community bestowed upon our family and our staff. It brings confidence to move forward in a positive way.

I thank my wife, daughter and my partner for believing in me. They continued to push me forward, even when I resisted character sharpened, CHECK!
I thank you, our community for embracing a small quaint dining room with limited parking and no reservations for three and half years. I am grateful and believe we all walked away, full and in peace.

I will miss you…the chats, the table side laughter, and Grateful Dead playing over and over. I’m storing all this in my heart believing it to re-sprout one day in the future.
I will miss the wild wine nights, only wine makers dream of; knowing if we have done it once, it will be done again.
I will miss seeing the smiles on the faces of our staff and our guests.
Smiles never die--mask or no mask.

As summer continues, just know that Jennifer, Vivian and I are excited to be your guests; visiting each of the atmospheres of our community.
We love you Savannah!

For now, I leave you all with this……

It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it. -Epictetus

I believe Savannah is a dreamer's playground. If you can think it, you can do it.
I'm living proof- the staff of Atlantic, the food and beverage program were my dreams that became your reality.
Don't short yourself! Humanity is the reason for serving; it's why Atlantic worked- Non Sibi Sed Aliis!
Good bye for now!!!!!
Jason

Awe we love our neighbors and miss them dearly. This was just sent to me from Crystal Brooks. Her daughter Stella drew herself and Vivian with matching Tutus.

Good morning amazing people! Today is Easter, today speaks so many lessons to some many different minds sets. The lesson I constantly receive from today is but most of all
Reach out and do something for someone that is foreign to your daily routine. Express yourself in a cosmic form of kindness to someone you don’t know. But don’t let the 24 hours of today limit you, walk this out daily. We all have never been where we all today, be kind, be full of love, be full of compassion but most of all, be full of forgiveness to humanity. Happy Easter everyone. We miss you all, we will see you all on the other side of this Lifebreak.
The Restivo’s.
Remember; we were mint to be together in the timeframe.
