The Charlotte Fig Tree
“The comfortable yet elegant setting of the house creates a unique dining experience. Boasting five stunning dining rooms, expansive seating on the veranda and patio, as well as multiple grand fireplaces and a full-service bar, everything about the aesthetics of the restaurant — from the original woodwork to the blooming fig trees will delight. The Fig Tree Restaurant is a trifecta of decadent meals, perfectly paired wines, and exceptional service.”

“We are a family-owned and operated casual dining establishment serving a creative American-eclectic menu in a rehabbed, 1900 Victorian home.”
Baku
“BAKU is a Japanese Robata-style restaurant that showcases outstanding sushi and innovative Robata and Yakatori cuisine. It has an extensive list of sakes, cocktails and wines, along with beers on tap. The restaurant spotlights creative Japanese comfort food meant to be shared around the table. The bar on the second floor, BAKU Lounge features signature cocktails and offers a hip, late-night venue for Southpark.”
The Cellar at Duckworth’s
“Inspired by an era of time that’s long past, the underground space built originally in 1912, naturally has a speakeasy, prohibition-era feel with its original brick walls and exposed ceiling joists. Even our attentive staff dresses the part from the era. The Cellar combines gastropub fare from our chef-driven menu, with a tap list of speciality and rare beers served at appropriate temperatures to their styles, and signature cocktails that are handcrafted to order by our mixologists.”
Good Food on Montford
“We believe good food speaks for itself. That’s why we create global small plates in a casual environment with one goal: taste without borders. We take our cues from our location: a building with midcentury modern charm; a bustling street in a growing city, and a dynamic, on-the-go demographic. And just like our community, our menu is constantly evolving. So stay for an hour, or three. Have one dish, or five. Share, or don’t.”
