    This was my first time dining at Southern Kitchen. I was pleased with the service, ambiance, and the food. I felt like it was a bit overpriced, but it wasn't anything we couldn't handle. For example, a shot of Hennessey was $30...we got 2. I was surprised to see the owner out and about and making thing happen. She smiled at us and thanked us for dining at the restaurant. I will definitely dine again.
