The newest in town and they do it right. The front facing street to the complex is still under construction as they finalize the remainder of businesses that will be going in the complex but Okra is open for dinner starting at 4pm.
It's a little taste of Louisiana with some trendy hip charm. Both bartenders were pretty straight up guys. We talked sports as I admired their delicious pineapple propeller. It's a very well balanced drink with a fun garnish.
I sampled three dishes. 1. Namesake grilled okra. It was fine as far as okra goes. There was no spark here. I enjoyed that it was just a fried cliche plate but I guess I wanted more from the sauce drizzled on top. 2. Pork lardons and collared greens. This dish was awesome. It had a slight spice to it and I shoveled it in my mouth. Seriously delicious. 3. Bone marrow. I'm naturally a straight up carnivore and this dish brings it out of me. Spread the marrow and the jam on the biscuit and life is good.
There are still plenty of items I still need to try so I'm sure I'll be seeing you in here.
