The Noble South

Chef/owner Chris Rainosek has been championing the products from nearby farms for more than a decade at The Noble South, and ethical and organic practices are at the root of everything he does. It's passionate, not preachy here, where brick walls, wood tables set with metal chairs and a friendly staff add to the warm, welcoming ambience. Start with a cocktail before selecting from the well-edited, ever-changing menu featuring snacks, small plates and entrees. It's up for grabs as far as what you'll find, but you may enjoy items like grilled peaches topped with ricotta and dukkah or a bowl of Marsh Hen Mills grits topped with Gulf shrimp, sauteed spring squash and blue crabmeat. Desserts, like baked meringue with peach custard, are as noteworthy as the rest of the meal.
