More information on Green Pastures
Peacocks strut their stuff among wooded grounds surrounding this 1894 mansion, which was converted into a restaurant in 1945. The Southern graciousness and impeccable service have been a constant over the years, but the new millennium brought a new chef, who gently nudged the menu away from its staid moorings toward a brasher, more inventive cuisine.With its peaceful grounds and calm, attractive dining spaces, this is a comfortable place to have an elegant and delicious meal. But it's definitely not one of the talked-about places. The menu changes seasonally, but you might find something similar to the following: pumpkin seed-seared salmon with poached prawns served with grilled cactus, garlic butter, hibiscus reduction and cilantro oil; smoked prime ribeye with crab, avocado, and cured tomatoes; and seared duck breast with Swiss chard, bacon, roasted garlic, and apple-rhubarb chutney. The presentation and combinations of tastes are excellent. The desserts are where the most restraint is exercised with selections such as Texas pecan ball (vanilla ice cream rolled in nuts and dripping fudge) and bananas Foster. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
