"Being physically connected to a nationally-renowned restaurant like Ambra can be intimidating. But fortunately for Southwark, co-owners Chef Chris D’Ambro and Marina de Oliveira prove that two hot dining spots are better than one. Southwark is the cooler sibling to Ambra’s more elegant presentation. The Queen Village restaurant serves cheddar stuffed “hush puppies,” 26 ounce bone-in ribeyes, and dazzling cocktails with hilarious names (such as the “Mariah Carey can’t dance,” made with Reposado tequila, carrot juice, Galliano, lemon, and angostura) — convincing evidence that confirms that fancy and fun restaurants can co-exist (read: peacefully) on the same block." - Ernest Owens
