Chef-Owner Edward Lee’s innovative cooking, which merges traditional Southern ingredients and global influences, was radical when he took over this fine-dining institution in 2004.

From the Sommelier: “We have really enjoyed mixing in pairings from the natural wine world Who knew a 100% Chardonnay could pair with a Wagyu beef tongue Reuben?

A lot of traditional rules and knowledge base go out the window and are based on their palate.” —Lindsey Ofcacek, 610 Magnolia
