Pork belly & local clams
$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, American, Southern / Soul, New American, Blandtown
"I love the pork belly and clams with crispy brioche croutons. Yeah I know, it's a classic combination, but these are off-the-charts tasty, briny, fatty goodness."
"Angry Mussels"
$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, American, Southern / Soul, New American, Blandtown
"I could eat this dish for its broth and bread alone. It is spicy, smokey, herbal, and creamy."
Garlicky tiny clams & pork belly
$$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Seafood, Midtown
"This dish reminds me of summer on Nantucket: garlicky tiny clams, pork belly, hand-torn croutons, and chilies."
Agnolotti
$$$, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Italian, Downtown Decatur
"No. 246 makes all of their pasta in-house, and it shows. The best agnolotti I’ve ever had was at No. 246, stuffed with a sunchoke purée served in a shrimp broth. The preparation and ingredients change depending on the season, but it's always delicious."
Agnolotti
$$$, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Italian, Downtown Decatur
"Genius is all I can say about this dish. The fresh-made pasta is tossed with oyster mushrooms and roasted sweet corn kernels in a corn milk broth, then topped with tarragon and a dollop of goat cheese. It’s a great appetizer or an accompaniment to any main dish."
