About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
  • 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.

    Chef was great, food great, met the owner and he was wonderful! Company was nice and Dwayne Wade’s wine pairings were astonishingly wonderful. There was a rude waitress that made the ending of the night a bit muddy, but I and other guests got over it.

     I went to late August with some of my girlfriends for a ladies night, it was our first time. Parking is free, there’s also security around, which is really nice and makes you feel comfortable when you’re walking to the restaurant. When you walk in the restaurant the ambience is warm and welcoming, and we were immediately greeted by one of the staff members. Our server had great food recommendations and answered all of our questions. We were not disappointed in any of our selections. Highly recommend the oysters, fried tomatillos, fried and 1/2 rack of ribs. She was also very tentative and friendly. We will definitely be back!

    Overall, a really good experience. Service could use a little work, but other than that, the food was good. Get the Fried Green Tomatillos.
