First and South Restaurant & Bar

Everything about this place is so amazing. I can’t wait to go back. What we got: Burrata with confit tomato’s, (nut free) basil pesto with a side of crostini - 10/10. The burrata was creamy and delicious. The pesto was vibrant. The confit was sweet but savory adding a lovely touch. A Really Good Burger - it really was a really good burger. The patty was hearty and cooked to perfections. I added cheese and bacon. The bacon was THICK and delicious, definitely worth the extra money. First Fries - incredible skin on 3 times blanched fries. You’re able to add on sauces for dipping which is such a nice touch. We got the garlic aioli which was really acidic forward, truffle aioli which was divine with the right about of truffle, and the scallion remoulade which quickly became my fave dip afte

Every time I have been to First & South, I enjoy a fantastic meal…and every time the experience gets even better than before. I feel as if I stumbled upon this gem while on vacation in 2012, and every few years I go back and take new people with me. Wonderfully creative approachable food, great energy, seamless service, and the impression that your evening is in great hands.

Tuesday night in February, options were limited. DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Food was fantastic but cannot compliment the service enough. So lovely all night, but when we became stranded as no cab company or uber would take us back to our hotel, the workers did the absolute most to make sure we got back safely. Great atmosphere (live music), exquisite oysters and tacos, but the welcoming attitude will have us coming back.

GF fish and chips scratched my itch for fried fish. So good. I tried to get a good picture but I inhaled it too quickly. Chicken sandwich for the non-supportive GF…she liked it a lot. Drinks were good. Ashley…great server with great recommendations.

We found First & South to be just okay— the atmosphere was nice and we were seated right away, but after reading so many positive reviews, we were a bit disappointed by our dishes. We ordered the first fries as an appetizer, and the roast chicken, burger, lemon pepper shrimp, and gluten free mac and cheese as entrees. As a table, we agreed we enjoyed our meals, but they felt a bit overpriced. The lemon pepper shrimp was mainly pasta and lacked very much shrimp, which was misleading the menu description. Not a bad experience, but could be better overall!
