1. Southern Belle

    Contemporary Southern

    A neon-blue "Bless Your Heart" glows above the bar at this Ponce de Leon fixture where Chef Joey Ward transforms seasonal produce into dishes of surprising refinement—strawberry gazpacho, braised lamb loin, olive oil cake with lime curd. The charm here is genuine, earned through the kitchen's evident care rather than calculated nostalgia.
