MARC to Bring “Luxurious Bill of Fare” to Alpharetta

PROSPECT PARK COMMISIONS WORLD-RENOWNED RESTAURATEUR
Luxury Alpharetta Community Furthers its Commitment to Unparalleled Experiences

ALPHARETTA, Ga. (September 7, 2007) – Thomas Enterprises announces the selection of London-based MARC (Marlon Abela Restaurant Corporation) to consult on food and beverage operations for Prospect Park’s Stanbury Manor, the 152 room ultra-luxe hotel, as well as MARC’s award-winning chief operating officer, Patrick Willis, who will lead the consultation project.

MARC leads “the movement towards a redefined dining experience at the heart of civilized living” and will design The Stanbury Manor at Prospect Park’s free-standing restaurant, which will be in MARC’s portfolio of award winning and internationally acclaimed restaurants, such as Umu, the one-Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant in London; A Voce, the one-Michelin-starred Italian restaurant in New York; Greenhouse, the one-Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant behind the Dorchester Hotel; and Morton’s private members club, overlooking Berkeley Square in London. The vision is to create a free-standing destination restaurant for The Stanbury Manor which will live up to the same standards as others in MARC’s portfolio by bringing Atlanta its only one-Michelin-starred dining establishment, which will include an unparalleled wine list, as world-acclaimed MARC Fine Wines will serve as the wine merchant.

The restaurant at The Stanbury Manor will feature elegant, Southern cuisine. By only using seasonal ingredients, including fresh-cut herbs from Prospect Park’s gardens, viandes (meats) are sure to burst with flavor.
