About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
The Late August name derives from the joyful time of year when the Sears catalog would arrive at your doorstep, bringing a deep desire and wonderment to all who would receive it and begin feverishly circling the items that would hopefully arrive for Christmas.

Our restaurant, set in the previous Historic Downtown Sears building, seeks to bring that same wonder to guests through its atmosphere, service, and cuisine. Echoing the mission of Lucille's Hospitality, which is committed to “Serving the Past, Feeding the Future,” Late August’s menu explores the culinary heritages of Chef Chris Williams and Chef Sergio Hidalgo by bringing the dishes and flavors from both their youths and the experiences to date creating a culturally culinary celebration.

    A large group of college alumni had taken over the bar area when we arrived so the restaurant was painfully noisy. Fortunately, that crowd cleared out soon afterwards and we could enjoy the ambiance, including pleasant music playing at a nice, low volume. Attentive and caring service meshed with terrific cuisine. This was our second visit to Late August and more will definitely follow.

    I ran to Google so that I could tell yall how amazing my experience at Late August was last night! Not only did we have the best seats in the house at the chef's table, but the service was truly superb! We started the dinner with oysters and the grilled octopus and let me tell you. These starters only increased my anticipation for the main course. If you love east coast oysters, you'll kick yourself for passing these up! I got the goat stew and my friend got the fish with some type of homemade tamale! The presentation certainly matches the flavor! If you enjoy speciality crafted cocktails then you're in for a treat! I wasn't even finished with my food before I was searching opentable to plan my next visit! This restaurant deserves all the attention and praise it receives! I can hardly wait to return!

    Excellent experience, I enjoyed the squash, the roasted brussel sprouts, and the fried chicken. The fry bread was also delicious. I recommend this place for your next dinner.

    The food was delicious and the great customer service made it a very special dining experience. The staff was genuinely interested in us selecting a wine would be happy with, and paced the arrival of each course very well. Late August is in the ION building, and there’s a surface parking lot directly in front of its entrance, which makes accessing it very easy.

    Amazing food, great service— the oysters were prepared perfectly and the martinis were the best we’ve had in ages! Everything else was delicious too! We plan to return often!

    Food, drinks and service were excellent. Gumbo and anything with their octopus are excellent choices!

    I celebrated a big birthday at Late August. It was perfect in every way: warm, inviting, cozy, delicious cocktails, wine, food and desert. The ambiance is contemporary and classic at once. Our waiter walked the perfect line when it came to giving us all we needed and leaving us to enjoy our meal and each other. I loved it and will be back.
