| Named for the eponymous city in China, charming suburban Canton is becoming a dining destination in its own right. A string of appropriately renovated historic buildings house restaurants, including Goin’ Coastal. Owner-chef Zach Kell's second Canton operation blends Southern ways with sustainable seafood in a bright, casual spot. Dishes include such Southern classics as fried pickles, she-crab soup, a line-up of po' boys, low country bouillabaisse, and the Southern fried platter. Check the big board for daily specials, always a good place to start. Monday night is $15 lobster night. Desserts are most rewarding. The short wine list is intelligently composed, and is designed to support the seafood fare the restaurant serves. Beware: Goin' Coastal tends to pull up the rug early, about 9 p.m. Also located at 1021 Virginia Ave., Virginia Highland, 404-941-9117. |
