Deviled Mussles from the Lawrence in Midtown pack a wallop of flavor you don't often find with this simple shellfish.

The Lawrence is set to close after nearly 11 years Jan. 30 at 905 Juniper St. NE, Eater Atlanta reports. Owners Darren Carr and Eric Simpkins plan to open a new concept in the space later this year.

The pair are also working on opening cocktail bar the Waiting Room above their Viet-cajun restaurant Bon Ton at 674 Myrtle St. NE in the coming weeks.

The Lawrence is the second restaurant Carr and Simpkins have closed in the past few weeks; Wonderkid shuttered in the Atlanta Dairies development at the end of last year.
