We were last here about five years ago, and the place has improved VASTLY since then. Everything from the menu to the food itself and the service. Oh my goodness. I wish we had given them a second chance a lot sooner than now! First of all, Lauren is a TREASURE of a server. You know how you can tell when someone is just a great human in general? She 's that person, and then you add to the fact that she has a wonderful personality and pays attention to details and you have a great server. If you food allergies, she listens and writes them down. Two of us made a meal of these four things: Fried green tomatoes Hot pimento dip Wahoo tiradito Sweet potato goat cheese latke I love a good fried green tomato, and they have managed to get the goat cheese *inside* the batter without the batter falling apart. How? HOW do they do that? I do not know, but your mouth will thank you for shoveling it in that piehole of yours. It 's fantastic and easily the best fried green tomato you 'll find in this city. Where do I start with the hot pimento dip? It even has peppadew peppers in it. Come on now, that 's just fun to say. Put on a southern drawl and say it until the person you 're eating dinner with decides to pull the tray of hot buttered focaccia away from you. Don 't shy away from the candied jalapenos. If you 've ever gotten the jar of pickled jalapenos from Trader Joe 's, these are better. The dip is a good mix of cheese and pepper, and then you get hit with these sweet notes of peppers. The wahoo tiradito. . .well, we ended up calling it wahoo tiraidiot, but you know, you do you, babe. The best way for me to describe it is to say it 's kind of like a ceviche thing. Don 't be put off if you don 't know the ingredients. It 's good. Now. . .let 's talk about this sweet potato goat cheese latke. The chefs here seriously need to consider moving this from its current home on the side menu and putting it on a small plate menu instead. Right now, you get one big one on the side menu, and I understand it 's also featured on the sticky miso short ribs. I think two smaller ones with the goat cheese would be fantastic on the starters menu. My husband loves sweet potatoes. I love latkes. I do not love sweet potatoes. He had to give this a shot, and I was blown away by the taste. I can honestly say that I was not expecting to like the flavor, but I did. A chef is a genius if they can prepare a food that you generally do not like in a way that you do like it. Because hot damn, that is one potato pancake that I 'll gladly order. If you are familiar with traditional latkes, the texture is there, but it 's still almost like a bird nest texture instead of more squished together like white potato latkes can often be. It is fantastic.
