The Joël Brasserie is closed for good, according to a man who answered the telephone at the Buckhead restaurant around 1 p.m. Friday.
It's the second high-end restaurant in Atlanta to close in recent weeks.
Chef Joe Truex and his wife, chef-wife Mihoko Obunai-Truex said earlier this month they were closing Repast, located in the Old Fourth Ward.
The AJC learned that Joël Brasserie was closing when the restaurant called to cancel a reporter's Friday night dinner reservations.
Joël Brasserie stopped serving lunch on April 1. The restaurant's website, however, still touts upcoming events as well as a reminder that it would be open for "normal business hours" on July 6 following a week-long July 4th holiday closing.
There also is no mention of the restaurant's closing on its Facebook or Twitter pages. A Thursday 10:56 a.m. Facebook post is a link to a story about Joël Brasserie's executive chef, Cyrille Holota.
A post from Tuesday advertises a patio grilling event with Holota on July 14, Bastille Day.
