Midtown development Spring Quarter welcomed its first two restaurants this week: Chef Fuyuhiko Ito’s (Umi, MF Buckhead) Celestia, a cocktail bar and lounge, and ISHIN, an adjacent omakase counter.
Celestia’s current menu focuses on “contemporary international” cuisine, including dishes like wagyu ravioli, oysters and caviar, and lobster. ISHIN, a 16-seat omakase counter, offers two seatings, starting at 5:30 p.m., five nights a week. Here, you’ll find a chef’s choice selection of nigiri, crudo, and yakizakana (grilled fish).

“ISHIN and Celestia represent a culinary journey of the places I’ve been, the flavors I’ve tasted and the unique moments that were found along the way,” Ito said in a press release. “We look forward to inviting Atlanta to take a bite and a sip with us and discover this new dining experience for Atlanta, which will soon be followed by the opening of our flagship restaurant, Sozou.”
Ito plans to open the more-casual Sozou on the ground floor of Ten Twenty Spring some time in early 2026, which will feature a robata grill and sushi counter.
Spring Quarter’s upcoming restaurants include Habaneros, Japanese restaurant Sozou, Pataaka, and possibly a restaurant curated by Steve Palmer (Indigo Hospitality Group) located inside the renovated H.M. Patterson & Son-Spring Hill Chapel. The City of Atlanta declared the H.M. Patterson & Son-Spring Hill Chapel a historic landmark in 2018.
Palmer announced in 2023 that he would bring a “morning-to-night [food and beverage] destination” to the nearly century-old H.M. Patterson building. While Atlanta-based developer Portman Holdings preserved the historic funeral home and mortuary, providing additional entertainment amenities for Spring Quarter, Palmer and Indigo Road are not listed on the website and were not mentioned in the press release.
“Portman looks forward to announcing more details about the concept and plans for The Patterson soon,” a representative for Spring Quarter told Rough Draft when asked about Palmer’s restaurant.
Portman Holdings first broke ground on the Spring Quarter complex in 2022. Spring Quarter currently houses the Ten Twenty Spring office tower and Sora, a luxury residential community with a sauna, multiple fitness centers, a pool, and ground-floor retail like Pepper Boxing.
