Guests at Tradition are greeted with an open kitchen that anchors the sun-filled main dining room. On the other side of the host stand, the bar is available for counter seating with a few additional tables for two nestled next to the windows. A patio with shade umbrellas is pleasant in the evenings and should be a hot-spot for lunch and brunch come fall.
Tradition speaks to diners looking to enjoy filling and hearty food—much of it firmly rooted in the South—served with the highest-quality ingredients in unexpected ways.
The cauliflower and grits ($9), for example, is a sharable plate, with fried cauliflower florets placed atop a ramekin of creamy grits then dressed with an intriguing citrus jalapeno gastrique that brought sweetness and heat to the humble main ingredients.
