Background

The name of this restaurant came from a restaurant manager and chef, Rich Clark and Jon Schwenk.  They originally developed a friendship in the kitchen of a famous French eatery in Buckhead, Brasserie Le Coze.  Combining their different expertises they started their own restaurant, C&S Oyster Bar, which opened to the public at its original Cobb Parkway location in 2007 and quickly became a staple in the Vinings community.  The Sandy Springs location opened their doors in 2020, introducing a fresh identity while honoring the valuable traditions of the original.
