Lucian Books and Wine Team Unveils Next Big Venture: Inside Sargent
By Robert Thorne
Sargent’s kitchen builds outward from the clean, produce-driven philosophy established in Buckhead. Dishes balance European foundation techniques with regional Southeastern sourcing. The culinary leadership centers the menu on composed plates designed to integrate seamlessly with Smelt’s wine pairings, steering clear of heavy sauces or overwhelming sweetness.
Guests will find wood-roasted fish served whole with cold-pressed olive oils, carefully prepared offal, seasonal crudos, and dry-aged meats finished on open embers. Vegetable cookery receives primary real estate rather than side-dish status, highlighting heritage legumes, bitter greens, and root varietals grown on nearby Georgia farms. The pastry program provides structured finales: restrained tarts, house-churned dairy ice creams, and fortified wines by the glass.
