Fodor's Review:

In a city with a vibrant but ever-evolving restaurant scene, this is one of the landmarks. Wildly popular as a social meeting ground in the 1980s, it has settled down into its primary role, as an atmospheric fine-dining establishment. Multiple dining areas in both indoor and garden settings make this a great place to linger, perhaps under a gazebo or in an elegant, art-rich (and air-conditioned) room inside the historic residence. Also notable are the genuinely caring service and extensive wine list featuring new varietal blends (no house wine here) which have earned it high and consistent praise. As always, its food has strong Southern leanings, with seafood highlights including Charleston bouillabaisse; don't miss the creamy grits (perfection) or authentic fried green tomatoes.
