A Marietta restaurant that has received accolades since its opening is receiving another tip of the hat from a national publication.

Spring, located at 83 Church St., is the only Georgia restaurant named to Bon Appetit magazine's 2017 list of finalists for the best new restaurant in America.

The magazine described Spring as "the stellar restaurant you wish your suburban hometown had," and recommended ordering the house-made butter and sourdough bread and chicken liver paté on toast with blueberry jam. The vibe was described as "genteel Southernness with a dash of farm-to-table modernity."
