Okra overall was a great experience, fairly busy on a Friday night and we ended up sitting at the bar top (which also offers the full menu).
To start, we ordered a dirty martini and Julius freeze to drink! 5/5 stars. Both were made excellently and very delicious. The bartender was very precise in each and every drink, and I was tempted to order every cocktail on the menu.
Appetizers:
- Hush puppies 3/5 stars. The goat cheese was what really sold this dish, whipped to perfection.
- Mac & cheese balls, 3/5 stars. The outside was crunchy and crisp, and the Mac and cheese inside was tasty. The marina was very basic, like something I could have found at the grocery store.
- Bone marrow, my favorite. 5/5 stars! I've never eaten bone marrow, and the flavor was amazing. The texture was very smooth as well. The only complaint, was there wasn't enough!
Main Course:
- Verde Pot Pie: 4/5 stars. The crust was the right amount of crisp on the outside and cooked perfection on the inside. The gravy was darker than anticipated but still had a wonderful hearty flavor.
- Fried Chicken (Tennessee hot): 5/5 stars. The sauce was my boyfriends favorite hot sauce he EVER had. On par with our favorite chicken sauces (found at Welcome Chicken & Donuts).
