The owners of an East Lake restaurant say their dining room will remain closed for now, despite Gov. Brian Kemp’s directive that allows restaurants to reopen for dine-in service if they meet specific social-distancing guidelines.

It’s been more than a month since the owners of Poor Hendrix closed its dining room and switched to contactless takeout.

Jamie and Aaron Russell, who own the neighborhood eatery and bar that offers an eclectic menu of tapas and more, say it was a difficult decision to make, but the health of their staff and customers comes first.
