I've been hearing some buzz about this place over the past few months and we decided to check it out. It lived up to the hype!
The Summit Room is set in what looks like a big old house, and it shares space with this chicken salad place (???). There is a really nice patio area out front and a big porch with rocking chairs where you can sit and enjoy a cocktail or three. And you'll probably want three just so you can try as many of the interesting liquid concoctions as you can get down your gullet. The Cucumber Collins is an excellent summer drink, a delicious twist on a Tom Collins. Another nice option is the Chocolate Old Fashioned which is a cool take on the classic Bourbon drink.
The dining room is small, loud, and happenin'. If you are looking for an intimate or romantic setting, don't go here. It's hip and loud and energetic all around. There are various animal skulls on the walls and a deer head mounted over a doorway - not sure how I feel about all that jazz but whatever I can deal with it for the delicious eats.
The grilled zucchini flatbread is money as an appetizer. So is the now-famous BBQ shrimp appetizer that comes on a slab of corn pudding. If you have all that PLUS the complementary cheese scones, you are already feeling pretty full. But you have to hang in there for the main courses. I had the duck which was really tasty - it came with blueberry grits and wilted spinach. The wife got this huge piece of wild caught salmon. Both were spot on. We didn't have room for dessert after all that, but the desserts looked pretty tasty as well.
Summit Room is a cool spot with creative twists on some down-home Southern dishes!
