Giardina's Restaurant

Giardina's, one of the Mississippi Delta's most historic restaurants, was founded in 1936 by Joseph Giardina, in Greenwood, Mississippi. A unique blend of sophistication and warmth, Giardina's is the perfect setting for any event. Seating consists of fourteen private booths and the large dining room opens onto a beautiful courtyard. The restaurant's interior space and state-of-the-art kitchen were designed by world-renowned architects. Considerable effort was made to retain the character and charm of the original Giardina's, but the white tablecloths and fine crystal add the feeling of elegance one would expect from a fine dining restaurant in a large metropolitan area. Giardina's bar, reminiscent of a bygone era, features the same dark wood and tile of the restaurant while offering today's premium liquors, wines and liqueurs. Featuring steaks, seafood and Italian cuisine, Giardina's atmosphere is old world elegant but dress is laid-back "Delta casual.”

Radish

Located in the heart of downtown Long Beach, Radish is a celebration of the agricultural spirit of the Gulf Coast and the unlikely connection between a charming coastal town and the humble root vegetable that put it on the map. Nineteenth-century farmers took advantage of the L&N Railroad and the opportunity to ship the fruits of their labor northward. The favored Yankee bar snack of the day was a long scarlet radish dipped in luxurious butter and coarse salt. The good times lasted until Prohibition, when local bars shuttered and demand for the Long Beach Red dried up. Today, Radish, led by Chef William Rester and team, embraces time-honored techniques and traditions to create an ingredient-driven menu that showcases what it means to eat and drink in the South.

Please come by and see for yourself how special this restaurant is. We were recently voted 'Best Fine Dining' by the readers of Mississippi Magazine

Discover Mississippi

When dining in Mississippi, be prepared for seafood and lots of it. From crab to shrimp and catfish to oysters, the abundance of seafood on menus throughout the state provides a not-so-subtle reminder that Mississipi sits proudly along the Gulf of Mexico. Many of the state's favorite seafood preparations involve deep frying. Try those fried morsels dipped in comeback sauce or stuffed in a po'boy sandwich. Mississippi isn't just a coastal state; it's also a Southern one, and that means there's plenty of down-home Southern cooking to be found here. You'll enjoy biscuits and gravy for breakfast and cornbread, barbecue ribs, breaded okra and fried chicken for dinner. What to drink with that? Why a cold glass of sweet tea, of course!
