Fine Dining, Southern Twist

Fine Dining with a Southern Twist

words Dwain Hebda

For the perfect pairing of fine food and creative beverages, there’s no place quite like Uncork’d. The restaurant serves familiar dishes with a sophisticated twist that has foodies raving. “I call it fine dining with a Southern twist; beautifully plated foods to remind you of your Southern roots,” says Sarah Brownfield, event coordinator.

“Our menu is vast, providing something for everyone, from shareable tapas plates you can enjoy with friends to steaks that reward you for getting through the week’s grind.” The restaurant’s wine list, regularly voted the best in town, as well as craft beer and innovative cocktails, provide the perfect companion to Chef Jasmine Williams’ (aka Chef Jas) inventivebut-approachable fare. “Uncork’d’s vibe feels like a cool Colorado pub, with wood adorning the walls and floors and beautiful wooden tables throughout,” Sarah says. “You can choose from forty craft beers on tap as well as our award-winning wine menu. We also have a wall of Enomatic machines, holding thirty-two wines that you can self-serve and discover something new.” The age 21+ establishment prides itself on ambiance, with a relaxed feel that’s always welcoming, whether catching the big game at the bar, a special occasion dinner in the dining room, or toasting the holidays with your company in the party room.

“The experience makes it unique, and we can customize that experience for any occasion,” Sarah says. “Our private room holds about fifteen people; we have a cigar room that can be private that holds about twelve. The cigar room opens onto the heated patio, which can also be private, accommodating an additional twenty-five to thirty guests. You can even bring your dog on our patio. We are the perfect choice for business lunches, weddings or other events, both on- and off-site. Chef loves these opportunities because it allows her to be creative with her food options.”
