Madeira Park — Opening Winter 2025

Scheduled to open in early 2025, Madeira Park is the first new project for James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef Satterfield and business partner McCarthy, 2023 recipient of the Michelin Guide’s Service Award, since opening of their acclaimed Miller Union in 2009. This is the first brick-and-mortar venture for Tim Willard with the Miller Union partners. Named for the historic moniker of the Atlanta neighborhood, Madeira Park was once the centerpiece of Atlanta’s garden suburb community of Copenhill. As the city grew, Madeira Park was absorbed by Poncey-Highland, and the name became obsolete. Honoring history, and the contemporary, thriving neighborhood, Madeira Park represents the collective vision of the three partners. Satterfield and McCarthy have been cornerstones of Atlanta’s culinary community since opening Miller Union, earning critical and popular acclaim including multiple James Beard Foundation Award nominations. Willard, meanwhile, has more than three decades in the hospitality and wine industry. He is an advanced sommelier and his popular DIVE wine bar pop-up has been wildly successful since 2023 at various locations throughout the city.
