"A Southern-style breakfast-and-lunch spot that started in Jefferson Park in 2012 and expanded to Colfax Avenue in 2014 (with a third location overlooking Clear Creek near the Golden Hotel) is closing its Jefferson Park outpost and relocating to the Highlands in the next couple of weeks. The new location will occupy the former Solitaire space at 3927 W. 32nd Ave., a pair of adjoining houses featuring multiple brick-walled dining rooms and a sprawling patio; that site housed Highland’s Garden Cafe for two decades before Solitaire’s three-year run of elevated dinners. The menu is heavy on Southern classics and brunch favorites — fried green tomato Benedicts, pimento chicken biscuits, bananas Foster pain perdu, biscuits and gravy, and chicken-fried eggs and buffalo — along with three varieties of shrimp and grits, mac-and-cheese options with pimentos or blackened chicken, and po'boys filled with shrimp, catfish, or oysters." - Susan Stapleton
