Buckhead's Botica Hosts Full Moon Party

ATLANTA — Saturday is a full moon and cause for some to celebrate.

New Buckhead restaurant Botica — featuring Chef Mimmo Alboumeh’s fusion of flavors from Mexico and Spain — is taking the lunar event as a theme for the restaurant’s Full Moon Party, from 6 to 11 p.m.

The event will be co-sponsored by Legends Vodka and will take advantage of the sizeable patio facing Peachtree Street.

Botica opened its doors in January in the place of the old “Watershed” at 1820 Peachtree Road, and features Alboumeh’s take on street-style tacos and melange of tastes as diverse as the chef who traces his roots through Lebanon, Italy and Spain.

City Lifestyle Atlanta reviewed Botica when it first opened and said, “if you like good Mexican food, it is top-notch here.”

Beyond Mexican fare options included Spanish octopus, oysters -- raw and grilled -- tuna tartar, wild salmon and a “Prime Burger.”

Brunch is also available on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Botica is open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
