| Smith Haynes' ingenious redesign of this once closed-in space blew out the walls to admit light. Soft gray surfaces and lamp shade-shrouded ceiling fixtures supply a homey and inviting feeling, although the ambience can get quite loud when the place is full. Chef Ford Fry offers fried chicken, of course, prepared correctly by being first brined then soaked in buttermilk before being coated and fried. Stone-ground grits, fried green tomatoes, fried oysters, and other aspects of regional cuisine adorn the menu, although specific treatments vary. Local ingredients may include the veal in a meatloaf or produce and farm-raised eggs and poultry. Braised pot roast comes melting tender, as long, slow cooking yields meat candy. Sunday supper ($24 fixed price most Sundays) presents a plate of deviled eggs and biscuits with apple butter, then salad. You choose the meat, and three sides for the table. Dessert may be a regional specialty like fried apple pie. Wines and beers explore the planet, and little of it comes from these parts. Exceptions are the Frogtown Cellars delightful white Rhône blend from Lumpkin County and two first-rate local beers, Sweetwater and Terrapin. A separate bar menu operates upstairs. |
