Food scene
A restaurant with soul - the food, the music, and the vibe/energy. Aside from high-end grits, short rib, and fish they also have wood-fired pizza and amazing cocktails. Highly recommend the old fashioneds (there are three signature types!)

Brunch options
Cute space with rotating art, fabulous coffee and food. I recommend the Buenos Dias Bowl. Also a black-owned establishment that prioritizes hiring from the local neighborhood.
