Editorial Review for South – by Neha M. Shah
In Short
Suede panels in earthy muted colors add a casual feel to this elegant restaurant. The menu features classic comfort foods heightened to new levels. Gourmet beginnings include crab cakes with sweet corn relish and crab bisque with crispy crab fritters. Hearty main plates of buttermilk fried chicken and frogmore stew go well with Southern accompaniments like collards and mac and cheese. Finish with a Peanut Butter and Banana Montecristo for a sweet yet not-so-simple ending.

Please, please don't close this restaurant!! The food is excellent and so is the service. Love, love, love, the vegetables, the fried chicken, the crab cakes, the pimento cheese begnets, the goat cheese raviolis, seared sea scallops, etc. etc. How can you even consider changing the menu there? I hate French food by the way. Please keep this extraordinarily good restaurant just the way it is!! I'd eat there every night if I could!
Pros: Quality of food, service
Cons: Parking (sometimes)

My sister and I made dinner reservations for her birthday, but arrived early so we could have a margarita at the bar first. Nice atmosphere and good margaritas. Our table was waiting for us, the server was busy, but very good and made some recommendations at our request. We shared the fried pimento cheese appetizer - which was different and very good. It was like an upscale cheetos! My sister is a vegetarian and there were enough entrees on the menu for her to make a satisfying selection (fish) and I choose the beef special. Both entrees were presented attractively, had depth and flavor and there was plenty. The next time I go to South again I will probably order the fried chicken as it is a customer favorite at the restaurant (our waiter told us). It will be a while before I go back as the dinner was expensive, but well worth it.
Pros: food
