4th & Swift has closed

One of Atlanta’s premier fine dining restaurants, 4th & Swift in Old Fourth Ward, closed on July 24 after more than eight years in business. The announcement was posted on its Facebook page on Monday: “This was a difficult decision and we thank you for your patronage over the years.” In late May, 4th & Swift’s chef/owner Jay Swift opened a new restaurant, Noble Fin, in Peachtree Corners with his son, Jeb Aldrich, as the chef de cuisine. Billed as “a coastal American-inspired restaurant and bar,” the menu features oysters, small plates, seafood, steaks, chops and poultry. 5260 Peachtree Parkway, Peachtree Corners. 770-599-7979, noblefinrestaurant.com.
