Tupelo

Tupelo, where the chef uses produce from his own backyard to make most of the restaurant’s Southern-influenced comfort food, is one of the best options for a special occasion meal off Main Street. The ambiance is a mix between sophisticated library and industrial loft, with dark wood tables, moody lighting, exposed brick, and leather chairs. Dishes change seasonally, but it’s always a good idea to order the buttermilk biscuits with honey butter, whatever salad they’re doing, and the roasted trout entree. Don’t skip the cocktail list, which features drinks concocted with syrups using local honey and garnishes picked from nearby farms.
