With that being said, their $12 cocktails are worth it. \n\nI was able to check them out during their soft opening, which allowed us to sample quite a few dishes. Below were my favorites:\n\nCocktail: Ballantyne - but also don't hesitate to tell the bartenders what you like and let them get creative. This isn't one of those bars where they roll their eyes when you say surprise me. They enjoy getting creative and making off menu drinks here. \n\nSalad: Beet salad. Comes with an awesome strawberry vanilla dressing. Nice and light but good flavor. \n\nAppetizers: Fried green tomatoes. These changed my opinion about thinking I did not like tomatoes. Homemade cabbage chow chow and pimento cheese on top. \n\nEntree: Shrimp and grits. Super creamy. Will get the clean plate award any time you order these. If you are looking for something a little lighter I suggest the trout. Not usually a huge fish fan, but it was super moist and flavorful. And not fishy at all. \n\nDessert: Sticky bun, duh. Even if you order it for the table to split. You must find room in your belly for this at the end of your meal."^^ . . "1"^^ . . "5"^^ . . "2"^^ .
