Southern food without the grease, southern hospitality without the caricature. A little tough to find, but follow Mapquest to be rewarded. Prepare for a wait, but in good weather the patio and herb/wildflower garden makes that palatable. Also prepare for no greens salads--the small kitchen in this converted house didn't have the refrigeration room available. Nightly specials are usual fresh seafood; a great standby is the plum-glazed rotisserie chicken. Wine and beer list is thoughtful though limited. Bill Greenwood's usually in the kitchen and is unmistakable. Waitstaff is attentive and exceptionally friendly and relaxed--don't come here if you prefer stuffy, haughty prim-and-proper attendants. If you can, save room for pie--fresh fruit in season, chocolate cream, etc. I'd suggest splitting one slice among 3-4. Oh, and always bring cash or checks--they've never taken credit cards, but they will take promises to pay without question or without a hint of suspicion.
Pros: Exceptional service, Great, reliable food, Charm
Cons: Parking, no green salads, no credit cards
