Restaurants near South Mountain Natural Environmental Area

very quiet on a Sunday evening with only about 6 tables occupied at 7pm. Service attentive but not sterling. My brother and I enjoyed an exceptional Negroni, short ribs with collards, and the fried chicken. All described as excellent by these two southern boys. For some reason, did not receive the biscuits that should accompany the chicken. The deviled eggs were also notable, but probably don't require the bacon IMO. Have been here before and will likely return.

The octopus was exceptional: grilled crispy, yet moist and tender on the inside. The combination with harissa and salty nuts was superb. Haloomi also very good. Mains: scallops with corn, a fun surprise; filet, nicely prepared.

What a nice way to spend an evening! Everything we ordered was wonderful. We’ll be back soon. 😁

Meals came out 5 minutes after getting appetizer and soups, despite making a point of asking the waiter when we ordered to hold putting the entree order in until done with apps . But food was good, as always.

Great food and service every time! We go once a week!
