Amuse! told What Now Atlanta over the phone it might close, then emailed us a different story.

After being tipped off by industry insiders that Amuse! would shutter, What Now Atlanta asked Haykel Arfaooui, general manager at the French bistro, if it was going to close, in a telephone interview Tuesday.

“Nothing is finalized at this time,” Arfaooui said. “We’re trying to keep [Amuse!] open. We’re still working on some things.”

We sent an email to Amuse! hoping to receive comment from its owners on its possible closure.

Instead, Arfaooui, the same manager we spoke to over the phone moments before sending the email, responded.

His story wasn’t the same, the second time around.

As a proffesional journalist you should know what are you writing about. There is 25 employees at AMUSE! this story about closing the restaurant is taking our bread away. We live and pay our bills from this restaurant. Closing is unknown subject. Never heard about it.

All respect to you and your work.

What Now Atlanta is still waiting for comment from the owners of Amuse!.
