Food was good. Service outstanding. The chicken was great. Brisket was so tender. The biscuits are OK. The Lobster and grits were good, not an okra fan though. Hush puppies were good and deviled eggs were pretty good. The chocolate chip bread pudding was to die for. It was like a chocolate chip cinnamon roll with ice cream. The collard greens were less desirable. The Mac-n-Cheese needs a different cheese. It was just blah.
Enjoyed my ham and cheese on a baguette and the accompanying salad. My friend liked her croquet madame, although finding it somewhat difficult to eat. We devoured every bite of the apple crisp dessert.
Food was very, very good. Service was excellent. Made me feel like a long time friend in for a comfortable visit. Appetizers were great! Deviled eggs were good but I was blown away by the lobster grits. Pork tenderloin and asparagus were delicious and fork-tender. Brussels sprouts were cooked superbly - partly crisp and partly moist with succulent balsamic vinegar. Wonderful eclectic assortment of hard-to-find bourbons, which my friends enjoyed. I had a draft beer that balanced hops and malt. We finished with chocolate chip cookies better than Mom makes (she does not read my reviews!) I cannot wait to go back. Need red snapper next time.
Vegetarian options were good at lunch. We had the grilled cheese sandwich and the eggs with grits. Very good.
Macon is a gem, helping to anchor a block of delicious restaurants that include Blue 44 and Parthenon. Come to Macon for refined southern cuisine, including some delicious ribeye and rockfish and, not shown, fried chicken! The service also never fails to disappoint. Want a night out in Chevy Chase? Come here!
