Decided to go back to Southern Accent on a Sunday evening (this time with a Groupon) a few weeks ago. My friend and I got two appetizers and some cocktails. We got the piquant shrimp and the bruschetta plus a Bourbon Sour and a Pink Martini. The shrimp and hush puppies were delicious (and spicy!) but we found the portion to be way too small for an appetizer. My friend thought the piquant shrimp were too spicy, so beware! The bruschetta was good, but not very memorable. Drinks were okay, although my friend complained her Martini tasted like Robitussin.
Service was painfully slow and impersonal. The waitress seemed to be occupied tending the bar and talking to other patrons. Getting drinks, ordering food, and getting the bill took forever. The atmosphere was quite different this time around. The crowd in the restaurant seemed to be mostly people in their 50s and 60s. I found the whole dining experience to be quite sedating. Southern Accent wasn't as lively as I remembered. I don't think I'll be going back in a while.
