Best Southern American Restaurants in Shirley

One suggestion: if 7 people are asking for a variety of appetizers to share (specified "to share"), we suggest the servers provide serving utensils so we each can use them. We resorted to using our forks which, of course, had already been in our mouths. And our own knives to cut the biscuits. Not THAT much of a big deal, but it would have been considerate to have utensils for the "sharing" process. Food was good, especially the sliders and fried chicken and biscuits(yum) and beignets (also yum). Our waiter was responsive, friendly, and dignified.(Nico?) Did his best to accommodate all those people and all those dishes(!) We hated the music and asked if it could be turned down. He warned us that they would not turn it down. Wished we were outside so we wouldn't have to listen to it, but it was cold.... Folks at the reception desk were friendly and accommodating. Very kind. Atmosphere (except for the music) good. All in all we had a good experience...

Great place for a casual pre-show meetup. Loved the rosemary ricotta with zucchini latkes, wonderful swordfish, hoisin duck confit, and creative cocktails!

We had the spiked tea, crab cakes appetizer, crab dip, and bucket of fried catfish. The catfish was a bit too salty and you really needed to be squeeze a lot of lemon on it to counter the salt. Otherwise it was great!
