| About: | This turn of the century, former police station is home to a romantic and cozy eatery. Inside, original brick lines the walls of the main dining area. Outside, a shady patio provides seasonal outdoor dining. The menu is innovative and creative. For starters, try the homemade potato chips with warm gorgonzola. The flavor tends to be a salty, but a nice blend. The black bean soup is robust, but the entrees are the stars here. Sea scallops, soft-shell crabs and pork tenderloin are well-prepared. Portions are generous, but leave room for dessert. Service can be erratic, but it is always pleasant. |
| Hours: | Lunch, dinner: seven days. Sunday brunch. |

I was a bit disappointed with the amount of vegetarian options they had. I ordered the goat cheese pizza and did not really like it, but I didn't have much of a choice anyway. The price is also pretty high, which is a bit expected in romantic-ambiance restaurants, but the quality wasn't as good considering the price.
When you are out and about and longing for a good place to eat, Southgate is the kind of place you pray that you will stumble across. It is warm and inviting, and the food is unique and delicious. Well worth a special trip.
