Visitors from Maine, skipped the fried chicken this time which is always a treat. BBQ shrimp and cauliflower apps were terrific and ventured into seafood with corvina and trout. We eat lots of fish and these two dishes were outstanding! Perfectly cooked and spiced, delicious! Nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and a very charming waitress. Look forward to coming back….

South City Kitchen Vinings is always a delight. We were celebrating my mother’s birthday and all the little things, from a menu signed by the staff wishing her a Happy Birthday to a dessert with a candle (because at 84 we all still want to feel special) at the end, made her evening so memorable.
