"This is the kind of space that elicits wows with its soaring ceilings and buzzy bar. The menu showcases Southern dishes hit with a cosmopolitan attitude. In case you didn't get the kitchen's sense of humor, order the truffle tater tots with wild onion aioli and you'll be in on the (delicious) joke. Don't be afraid to dress up if you come—this is a sophisticated crowd." - Nancy DePalma
