| - I wish, I wish, upon a star, to be eating here for dinner on a day, not too far!
Bring it on. Bring it all on. I'm trying to rationalize going out to eat again (okay, look, it's hard to get to uptown when you live at the lake.)
I'm impressed, and presently salivating at the memory of my dinner.
For starters...they use Springer Mountain Farms chickens which are vegetarian fed and pesticide/antibiotic/hormone free. The quality starts in the ingredients, I'm sure we can all agree.
The entrees are served a la carte which allows for some flexibility in your dinner plate!
I ordered a biscuit, one chicken tender, sweet potato dumplings, mac and cheese, cauliflower steak and a kale salad. I'm going to break this down for you, mostly because each item rocked my socks.
Biscuit- unique, flaky, buttery, and must have had an egg wash on top for the glossy finish it had. Served with a butter so tasty-so sweet that they must have churned it while whispering it sweet nothings.
Chicken tender-meaty, moist, juicy, and the breading was flavorful and actually stuck to it. I don't know about you, but when the breading falls off, it makes me sad. High-fives!
Mac and cheese- cheesy and delicious. Not the best I've had, though. Probably would pass on this one going forward.
Kale salad- this salad was stupid good. It could have been the candied benne mixed with the oranges and goat cheese, maybe it was the pomegranate molasses dressing. I don't know. But I was nursing this salad like it had no tomorrow. So. Good.
Cauliflower steak- since when do you swoon over cauliflower? Oh yea, since eating here. The flavor profile is so complex and tasty! The serving size was huge! You never know with vegetable steaks the size you're getting, and they didn't disappoint. It was delicious! Crispy edges, just what you need.
Sweet potato dumplings- brown butter, sage, and parm. Say it with me (in your best southern woman voice) "Lawwwwwd have mercy!!!" These dumplings brought me to my knees. It was a religious experience. You think I'm kidding? I literally thanked God then and there for the genius minds that concocted this heavenly dish. I have never had sweet potato dumplings before, and now I can say I need no other. They kind of taste like gnocchi in regards to their texture, which makes sense because it's potato based.
When you're willing to go back to a restaurant for their SIDE DISHES (and that's in no way a slam to their entrees which are amazing) that is a testament to the genius in the kitchen here.
They had a nice variety on their drink menu. I was a little unbalanced when my brut sparkling wine was sweet, but it was still good. The Tannat red wine was so smooth and even bodied! Definitely the best wine I've ordered at a restaurant--great item on the wine list.
We also utilized the NoWait app which allowed us to grab drinks somewhere else and be notified when our table was ready. Very nice!
True southern cuisine, my friends. I'm looking forward to a brunch here!
