Review of Antebellum Restaurant

This is my mother's favorite place, but the flavor...

This is my mother's favorite place, but the flavors in our favorite dishes and drinks are not what they once were. The Lavender Lady (gin cocktail) that was pale purple served with a sprig of lavender in a Mason jar last summer, is now in a martini glass with a lemon wedge instead of fresh lavender. The salmon on cheese grits tasted like a bottle of "liquid smoke." Finally, the fried green tomatoes were hard and nothing that would have been served at any other place that claims to be southern. My stars are for the resident guitarist with a 1948 Les Paul!
