Description
Southern National is your local downtown Mobile clubhouse, perfectly appointed with an array of awe-inspiring antiques and casual touches alike, lending to an atmosphere perfectly suited to Nutter and Washington's one-of-a-kind sense of southern hospitality and passion for unique flavors.
Southern National’s conception is influenced by Louisiana haunts, where Chef Nutter spent his formative years, as well as from Reggie Washington's family, which has roots dating back 90 years in the Mobile farming and horticulture community. The restaurant will be serving up local seafood from the waters around the great city of Mobile, as well as what Chef Nutter dubs 'fun fish' he had been fortunate enough to work with during his 8-year stint serving over 800 people a day at One Flew South, the first fine dining restaurant in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The culinary program is complemented by a passion and knowledge for spriits that is evident in every pour, as well as impeccable service and attention to detail.
Atlanta-based Smith Hanes Studio has designed an exquisite space with seating for approximately 150 guests, including an exterior courtyard that feels like it could very well fit in the Garden District of New Orleans or on Charleston's historic cobbled streets. Upon entering Southern National, guests are greeted by striking Alabama pine and exposed brick walls, lending to an atmosphere that exudes chic Southern charm. An oversized u-shaped bar made of zinc a
