Owner Jerry Slater, also a mixologist, offers a dining experience that focuses on Southern fare, contemporary and classic cocktails, and a pretty snazzy, if short, wine list that draws from around the globe. For openers, sample the deviled eggs or the pimento cheese. Both are getting worn out at many establishments, but find new vigor here. Former Woodfire Grill sous chef Joseph Ward oversees the kitchen, and produces some surprising takes on various dishes. The cornbread bisque, for example, sports a buttermilk foam beneath which tumble cornbread croutons and Vidalia onions. House-smoked brisket is a study in meat candy --- moist, smoky and succulent. Local foodstuffs include tiny Sapelo clams, and pork belly is cured in house. Sunday supper works like this: pick a main dish and the chef offers a starter and a dessert for a fixed price. The dessert may be something so delectably Southern as sorghum cookies baked to order, straight out of Ward's grandmother's kitbag --- but the young chef adds some sea salt to balance the sorghum's sweetness. Besides the many cocktails, you'll find craft beers and a lovely list of small-batch bourbons.
