[ALERT] Chamblee Restaurant Calls it Quits After Less Than Eight Months

Mosaic Bistro & Pub in Chamblee has sadly closed after less than a year in business.  The restaurant opened this past October and was the next act of sorts for Chef Joey Riley who for thirteen years been chef and co-owner of Brookhaven's Kaleidoscope Bistro & Pub before its closure in February 2024.

Mosaic was located in a street level retail space of the Attiva by Cortland 55+ apartment community at 5255 Peachtree Boulevard in Chamblee.  ToNeTo Atlanta first reported on the restaurant in March 2025.      The roughly 3,100 square foot restaurant was meant to serve not only the residents of the apartment community but the surrounding Keswick Park and Brookhaven neighborhoods too.  

The restaurant closed as of May 30 indicating at the time the closure was meant to be temporary until significant [disruptive] construction work along Malone Drive was completed.  

Chef Riley posted an update to the restaurant's official Facebook page Tuesday afternoon confirming the closure would instead be permanent.  

"It saddens me deeply to say that Mosaic Bistro & Pub will be closing for good.  

We are heartbroken, but despite giving it everything we had, we simply could not overcome the obstacles we faced from the very beginning. While this chapter is ending far sooner than we ever hoped, we will always be grateful for the incredible support, encouragement, and love our community showed us.  

Our time may have been short, but it was truly meaningful. We made memories, built friendships, and had the privilege of serving so many wonderful people. For that, I will be forever thankful," the statement said in part.  

While Mosaic has closed, Confab Kitchen & Bar, from fellow former Kaleidoscope business partner Doug Gross, remains open and would no doubt welcome the opportunity to serve any and all guests.  Confab opened in July 2025 and is located at 1350 Dresden Drive in the street level of the Parkside on Dresden apartment community in Brookhaven.
