Editorial Review

This funky bi-level resto dishes out southern cuisine with a healthy twist, using gluten-free, organic and locally grown ingredients where possible. Smothered chicken is baked and served up skinless, using locally raised hormone- and antibiotic-free birds. Celiacs make regular pilgrimages to indulge without fear in gluten-free home cookin’ (such as chipotle-inflected slow-cooked ribs), gourmet pizzas and homemade desserts. A beautiful meandering patio strung with festive tiki lights beckons customers in warmer months. Mains $10.95–$19.50.
