Description

Scout Notes: This city offers a lot in the way of interesting dining options. Mosey around any corner and you're bound to run into a restaurant trying some new take on foreign cuisine. One concept we haven't seen much of truly wish we would? Southern Fusion. Apparently the family behind the fantastic Negril Village heard our silent pleas and gave us SoCo in Clinton Hill. Take note students of Pratt, you don't know how lucky you are. The menu, which is described as a mixture of cajun/creole, barbecue and soul food dreamt up with everything else you can imagine, is a study in flavor combination and inventiveness. Their goal is to stay true to the flavors of Southern food, but to think outside of the deep fried box. Start with the Carolina Rolls with candied yams, basmati rice, and friend tempura or the Chickpea Sliders with caramelized onions, smoked tomatoes, and chipotle mayo. And while entrees like Lobster, Shrimp & Grits and Molasses Braised Short Ribs put a smile on our face, what really got us sitting up straight was the Buttermilk Fried Chicken on a Red Velvet Waffle. We'll let that sink in for a minute…… The bar up front in this modern yet cozy establishment is welcoming to all, and their covered patio out back will have you dining al fresco year round. Also, red velvet waffles.
