Here To Serve Restaurant group has closed another one of its concepts. This time it's Aja Bar & Restaurant , an Asian fusion spot in Buckhead.  A call to the restaurant this afternoon clicked to a recording that confirmed the closing on Sept. 6.

In late 2014, the news hit that Leigh Catherall, co-founder of Here To Serve Restaurants would be the full owner and CEO of the Atlanta-based restaurant group, and that chef Tom Catherall would retire. Then, one of the company’s flagship restaurants, Shout, closed in December 2014.
