Fine Southern Dining Done right



Dogwood
has been on my list for quite some time and as my sister and I were in the area after a Friday night concert, I was finally able to give it a try.

Positives: Excellent Service and innovative dishes.

Negatives: The atmosphere was a little ill-planned. Drab gray carpet took away from the overall modern experience and could have easily been fixed with dark hardwood floors or the like. It reminded me more of a hotel. Beyond the questionable decor . . .

Overall: We had a fantastic experience. We started with Grits with Pimento Cheese which definitely got us off on the right foot! From there, we split a great arugula salad, fried green tomatoes and a couple of fantastic entrees including scallops and Wagyu Sirloin. As you can tell, this place definitely has southern roots but the chef manages to make everything taste new and modern.Service was outstanding- best I've had in quite some time. Definitely check it out!
