Specialties
Drawing inspiration from Southern traditions and food culture, and showcasing the contemporaneous dimension and eclecticism of Executive Chef Stephen Sharp, Ink & Elm’s food program revolves around local, organic, sustainable and responsible procurement. The menu cycles are seasonal and offer a modern take on Southern, American cuisine. The restaurant offers two unique dining options: the convivial Tavern, which is perfect for a casual bite and drink and features a menu ranging from snacks to more substantial entrées; and the dining room, with a more structured menu, and ideal for a relaxed, refined meal.
History
Established in 2013.
Simultaneously a lounge, restaurant, and tavern, Ink & Elm is a culinary enterprise that celebrates the deep history of Atlanta’s Druid Hills neighborhood and the cultural legacy of its original designer: Frederick Law Olmsted. Ink & Elm hopes to honor his work and the vibrant life of the community he helped form. And this hope is reflected not only in its location (housed in the heart of Emory Village), but also in its name and its interior. «Ink» is an allusion to Olmsted’s renderings, while «Elm» refers to his favorite type of tree, which he first came to appreciate during his travels in the 1850s and then used to adorn the streets of Druid Hills in the 1890s. The interior of Ink & Elm is accentuated with subtle references to his life and work and marked by strong echoes of his aesthetic.
