| - Christmas Eve at the Southpark Grille was fabulous! It's located behind Piedmont Row, tucked away and was alittle difficult to find. Classy, high end restaurant with a pleasantly tranquil environment.
I had the Chilean Sea Bass with truffle dusted fingering potatoes. It was a thick, perfectly cooked 6oz. piece with a nicely seared outside and moist on the inside. It came with a couscous side but I changed it out for the potatoes, which were beautifully seasoned. ($40) And my dirty martini was spot on, too!
One friend had the NY strip and it was a big, thick cut cooked perfectly to her requested medium temp. It pared well w.their garlic mashed. She arrived early & had lobster bites and said they were out of this world....and she's a picky foodie.
Another friend had some pasta and shrimp dish, which he loved. I could see the shrimp were a good size, too!
We split their chocolate cake for dessert, which we found to be tasty (chambourd & chocolate) but it was dry. So, I didn't care for the texture.
Even tho we had to ask for bread they were attentive about refilling the basket. I rate service as excellent.
My rating is 5.
In addition to the dining areas there is a very nice sized, beautiful wood carved bar.
I will definately be going back! Can't wait to try their oyster rockerfellers!
