"Husband-wife restaurant vets Tim and Kristina Chastain brought this welcoming addition to the ViBe Creative District in 2015. Nestled in an Art Deco-era building, Esoteric showcases dozens of local brews on tap alongside a stellar surf-and-turf menu full of charred octopus, duck tacos, a burger of the month, ribeye, and Southern staples like homemade pimiento cheese. Plated produce is as fresh as it gets; herbs, veggies, and fruit are plucked from an on-site garden." - Tierney Plumb, Adele Chapin
