L'opossum
French
A stained glass window of, let's say, assertive subject matter sets the tone before you've ordered a thing. L'Opossum is a fine dining room where French technique meets full-on theatrical excess, the kind of place that serves lobster mac and cheese under a name like "swank bank" and wraps a cocktail in plastic like a certain *Twin Peaks* corpse. The bathroom is clowns. All of it is intentional, and somehow it holds together.

Swellington
“"Fabergé" caviar-topped eggs, escargot and ham biscuits, barbecue lamb chops and the beef "Swellington" give a Southern wink to European traditions.”
