"Southern National is one of the newer restaurants on Georgia Avenue (it's from the celebrated chef/restaurateur team who helped put One Flew South on the map). SN feeds your eyes with an open, industrial-chic dining room, but their great, comforting Southern plates are the real feast. The redfish over field peas and miso sauce is what you might make if you grew up with elders who watched Julia Child clips along with their stories. And the exceptional lamb burger helper is our favorite dish out the kitchen—mozzarella, parmesan, and rigatoni taste like they come with a side of nostalgia." - juli horsford, demarco williams
