   We wanted to impress our friends who were visiting from NJ so we made reservations at Southern. We were a party of 6 and were able to get reservations for a Friday evening. We were very graciously greeted at the door. As soon as we were seated our waiter came right over to ask for our drink orders and explained the menus to us. We ordered our meals which consisted of pork chops, scallops, duck, and 3 orders of the special which was tile fish. Our dinners came out in a timely fashion and all were absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend Southern for a beautiful dining experience.

   I've been to Southern several times now and have never been disappointed. The food is fresh and delicious, and the service is friendly and efficient. Southern has a welcoming feeling where you can enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. BTW...the warm cookie in a skillet with vanilla ice cream last night was beyond words (and it's big enough for four people to share)!

    It was a cold, rainy evening and we had the porch to ourselves. We were treated like family and Jim and Carl were gracious and accommodating. The heaters kept us nice and toasty. The food was well -prepared and delicious. I had the shrimp and grits while my husband enjoyed the sea bass. Beautiful presentation! The ice cream that came with dessert was especially wonderful (Katie’s Homemade). Thank you for a delightful meal and evening.
