Art Smith may be known primarily as Oprah Winfrey’s one-time personal chef, but with the way he’s packing this restaurant that may soon change. Sure, all the media attention the tiny Gold Coast restaurant has been receiving certainly has helped, but Table 52 has the food to back it up, too. Smith tapped into his roots for the Southern-inspired spot when culling the décor (think a copper-tin ceiling, folk art, soft yellow walls) and creating the selection of comfort food that’s served. We like the amuse-bouche of deviled eggs and cheesy warm biscuits fresh from the wood-burning oven. Smith’s buttermilk fried chicken with mashed potatoes is a popular Sunday-only dish, while any day of the week the Berkshire pork chop and pistachio-crusted chicken breast do quite nicely. Saving room for the signature hummingbird cake isn’t easy, but do try. A new wine list---read: lower-priced---is in the works.
