| - Mmmm-mmm! I definitely picked the right place for my birthday dinner. We showed up slightly early and got to mingle in the bar for a few minutes- what a fun bar! I'm going to have to go back just for that alone. Then we were seated in the downstairs porch/sun room, or as my grandmother would say, "on the veranda."
We had some trouble communicating with our server- one guest was late, and I think he was waiting on her to get there before we ordered drinks, but I can't hold that against him as he was just triple-sat. Next time I'll be clearer- alcohol now!
They have a great drink selection, including creatively-named specialty cocktails. I was tempted to order the "Seventh Street Stumbler" and see if it held up to it's name, but in the end, a glass (um, or three) of white wine went well with my dinner.
The food was out of this world! We had the fried green tomato appetizer and devoured it. For entrees, I had the blackened salmon special with crawfish and artichokes, and my friends had the catfish, the chicken Diane, and the shrimp and grits, and we were all so busy making yummy noises no one could talk. I think we planned to try each others but they all disappeared so quickly we never got around to it.
We were too stuffed for dessert but that bourbon bread pudding is calling my name for next time. And there will be a next time.
