Cuisine: American

10Best Says

Soaring windows, honey-hued woodwork, and a palpable graciousness distinguish this appealing hotel restaurant, which finds popularity as a downtown breakfast and lunch place. In the morning, a buffet of good things draws hungry patrons, and at midday, light cafe fare is the selling point. The restaurant's evocative name recalls the cornmeal-based, casserole-like dish that is spooned out as a Southern classic.
