    Drag brunch here was a revelation. Christian R, our waiter, was incredibly good at his job and just a lovely human. The ladies in drag were of such high quality, they blew us away. You may have heard of drag queens phoning in it in for brunch shows - not these girls. Gave it their all for every number and looked runway ready for every one. Thank you for an amazing afternoon!

    It is evident why Cocina al Fondo and its chef received the James Beard Best Chef (South) award in 2023. This was a jewel of a restaurant built inside a renovated house with the kitchen in an adjacent shed, an indoor dining room with an accompanying garden for outdoor seating, and a knowledgeable and attentive staff. The food - Puerto Rican soul food taken up a notch with soothing and occasionally surprising flavors, well executed and balanced. Only open Thursdays through Saturdays. Well worth a visit.
