Old Village Post House

Fodor's Review:

If you've been on the road too long, this circa-1888 inn will provide warmth and sustenance. Many residents of this tree-lined village consider this their neighborhood tavern. The second, smaller dining room is cozy, and the outdoor space under the market umbrellas is open and airy. Expect contemporary takes on Southern favorites like lump crab cakes, shrimp and grits, and especially the fresh vegetables, like a butter beans mélange. From the open kitchen, the chefs do a perfect sautéed catch of the day. Here pork tenderloin may have a ginger-peachy glaze. In season, plump soft-shell crabs are deftly fried. Frank Sinatra serenades as you cleanse your palate with a tart, key lime pie with a crunchy crust and passion-fruit couli.
