| Chef/Owner Andy Badgett (also of The Fickle Pickle) closed his highly esteemed Asher, a superb fine dining spot, and we miss it most grievously. It's not resurrected in Relish, which seeks a more mainstream footing. Some dishes succeed whereas others need to be re-configureed. Among the latter are the cheese straws, dry and tasteless and terribly disappointing given how good these Southern nibbles can be. The spiced pecans, on the other hand, are very worthy, and we'll be back for more of the fried oysters with the green tomato tartar sauce. The smoked trout salad is a good dish to target, as well. We had a hard time understanding the over-wrought fried green tomatoes with tomato jam, molasses vinaigrette (say what?) and mozzarella cheese. FGTs don't need to get that gussied up. While the succotash on the grouper was fine, the fish itself was just slightly fishy, a condition not obscured by the tasty roasted corn sauce. Re-sampled later at lunch, the fish was fine in a sandwich. The hangar steak scored big time, however. And as for the Krispy Kreme bread pudding? Oh, now, we're on to something!! Based on the famous donuts, it's a genius winner. In sum, don't expect the subtle and nuanced dishes that attended Asher. That's not what Relish is about. But with care, one can compose a respectable meal. |
