| - My new favorite restaurant! I've been twice in the last week and can't wait to come back. Fried green tomatoes are great, the pimento cheese that comes with is so good I could eat it by itself! First I had the cider brined pork loin, served with whipped sweet potatoes and collard greens. I found this dish to be best when all three elements are eaten together rather than separately. For dessert I had the bread pudding with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top. This is basically a thick piece of French toast with bourbon caramel sauce, all plates were cleaned.
Second visit I had the fried okra (along with fried green tomatoes) and the blackened flat iron steak. This steak is a nice thick cut served with buttered succotash and marble potatoes. This is an amazing dish with great flavors and was perfectly cooked by the chef.
As for the building itself, I love the way it was remodeled and decorated (outside you can still see the original Beef Eaters stained concrete). The patio is comfortable, large, and has a nice fireplace.
I cannot wait to come back to try the fried chicken, meatloaf, catfish cioppino and the duck.
**UPDATE**
I have now had a chance to try the cioppino and the fried chicken. The cioppino was great, the catfish was cooked well with a nice corn meal breading. The cioppino was thicker, not too soupy, with large chunks of deep red tomatoes with a nice amount of acidity.
The fried chicken was great, the breading was thicker and was a little over-cooked but I will definitely be ordering it again.
