good, different, would go back. more restaurant week:
1st courses included:
farmhouse salad (green goddess, cucumbers, tomatoes, clothbound cheddar, crustini) this was tasty, probably would not order again, nothing really special to make it stand out for my palate. overall agooddish.
roasted corn chowder (bacon, pablano crème friache) - the person in our party was very pleased with this, it was described as perfectly creamy with agoodbalance of heat and smoke.
2nd courses
salmon croquette (sour pickle remoulade), zucchini fritters w/green tomato chutney.
both were very tasty and would definitely order again. fritters were flat and not crunchy, don't think they were fried. served more like two zucchini pancakes nevertheless were very tasty and accompanied very well by the green tomato chutney.
main entrees:
tres petit couchon (berkshire pork meatloaf, trotter gravy, summer vegetables, grits)
very healthy portion, be aware that it is served slightly pink however this is because of the grade of pork not because it is not fully cooked. it was different, to each his own type of dish. you are a true meat connoisseur you will appreciate this dish.
sustainable grilled salmon (spaetzle salad, fermented tomato vinaigrette, braised dandelion greens)
salmon was cooked to perfection, all accompaniments went together well, it does give your palate a little bit of a work-out however it is worth it if you are a foodie like myself:-)
the seller: definitely what they are known for which is the smoked fried chicken served three potato salad, alabama white barbecue and chow chow. this was wonderful you had smoked flavor with the crunch of the crust of the chicken withgoodpotato salad. this is worth the trip!!!
3rd course: brownie sundae with ice cream.
ice cream was very good, would have been nice if the brownie was warmed, overall not bad but would not order again, nothing to brag about.
cornbread: well arrived in these wonderfully made cast iron skillets but was not hot, we also found egg shells in it. however the cornbread was reheated in the oven (not the microwave, i am a food connoisseur, i can tell:-)) and the server did not charge us for them which was nice. once warmed the cornbread was pretty good, had bits of corn and was light (so if you like your cornbread to be like cake, this is not your type). the butter was presented very nice but was ice cold and difficult to spread, this should be served a least room temperature or place it on top of the cornbread in the skillet so that it is melting as it is being served...just an idea.
the servers were very attentive, cleaned our table as we went about our meal and was apologetic about the cornbread. this was a wonderful experience and would definitely return for smoke fried chicken plate.
