Food Scene

You can sit on the dock and eat or sit inside, also with a great view of the water. People always say that the food is good. It is a very short walk from my house along the river. Pricier.

Our ritziest version of Southern cooking, with dishes such as "Fish and Grits" (my personal favorite), as well as many more familiar to the non-Southern. The food is sort of French-Southern. Pricier.

A bar in the basement and a restaurant with very good food upstairs. It used to be a Posting Inn with an arch in the middle for the coaches to go through. My parents lived on the top floor after WWII.

A LOT bigger than it appears.. Kind of loud because it's in a big space that was a garage in the olden days. I've always had good food here. Service inconsistent though and it gets mixed reviews.
