Neither trendy nor over-the top upscale - the Dogwood Southern is simply a fancy restaurant located at the corner of Sharon Rd and Fairview Rd. They're trying to brand themselves as a farm-to-table restaurant but it didn't quite feel that way.
I swung through with some friends for dinner on a casual Tuesday evening - we jumped straight into cocktails and appetizers. I ordered the 'Legends of the Fall' and was mildly disappointed to taste a copy cat of an old fashioned. The chick n dumplings; however, was a thoughtful and well done appetizer - the dumplings just melted in your mouth.
For the main course I had the beef ribs which were tasty and my friend ordered the special of the day: scallops and duck. This wouldn't be my first choice of items to combine and when I had a bite from his plate my assumptions were confirmed - his entree wasn't nearly as good as my beef ribs.
