Empire State South

Empire State South takes a modern approach to creating authentic Southern dishes, relying on the beautiful foods of the region.
(1387)

We are open for dinner with a to-go program, courtyard bocce ball and an extensive coffee bar. Empire State South is the third restaurant from chef and restauranteur Hugh Acheson. Taking its name from a nearly forgotten nickname for the state, "The Empire State of the South", ESS opened in the late summer of 2010. For its first three years, Chef Ryan Smith led the restaurant to much acclaim, garn

ering Atlanta Magazine's "Restaurant of the Year" title in 2011. Chef Josh Hopkins took the helm late in 2013, and has added a keen interest in the fresh vegetables of the region--many of which are grown inside the Atlanta city limits. Empire State South also prides itself on a vibrant bar scene, an award-winning wine program, and a first rate coffee counter. The restaurant looks to match the heartfelt character of the traditional cuisine of its region with the fresh influences and ingredients that are now available therein, always hoping to add to the conversation of what exactly it means to be Southern.

Ok fine, we’ll stop hoarding the Guiberteau. This highly coveted little guy is $22/glass, while it lasts. One of the most revered Chenin producers on the planet!

Bar PSA: brought by some products from and oh wow am I in love. Their Sunchoke and Pineapple spirits are wildly experimental and unlike anything I’ve ever had. They also happen to be amazing. Their rye is nothing short of amazing. So, as shown by the second panel, I’ve decided to be incredibly silly and make a Vieux Carré with the rye and Napoléon. The rosso ties these two spirits together beautifully. So come on by and try out this Baller Classic, and all the good new juice.

New Cocktail Alert 🚨🚨🚨! We’re slinging some summer time goodness with the “Mostly Mintless Julep”. It’s got Rosemary, Mint, and Lemon Balm infused Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey paired with a house Marigold syrup. An herbaceous take on a southern summertime classic, it’s sure to help you beat the heat. Come try it out during our Happy Hour @ 3-6 Monday-Saturday, or sip on one before you sit down for either of our 4 or 6 course tasting menus. Either way is fine by us!

You may have heard that we are open MONDAYS again! Come fight the early week blues with our (490th?) iteration of the famous FARM EGG (with corn purée! shish*tos!). And for the last couple of vintages, our favorite rosé of the season has been the vivacious Cabernet Franc/Grolleau ‘Rosé de Loire’ from cult hero Thibaud Boudignon. Thibaud’s specialty is Chenin Blanc, but he proves his range with the delicacy and purity of his lovely rosé. Its herbal edges catch the summery shish*tos for sure. Both now available together on our tasting menu. SEE YOU MONDAY.

Hey there y’all! We’ve got a new summertime sour with a lot of fun stuff goin’ on, and a lot of semi-educational info to go with it. It might be best to buckle up. ‘My Chinola’ features peach infused .vodka and with a touch of Mastiha. Good Vodka, is actually great. Their entire production process is carbon negative. They make their product using discarded coffee cherries which cuts down a ton on waste. The spirit itself is wonderfully rich in texture and presents a playful fruity aroma that comes from the cherries. The peach infusion only adds to the fun that’s already there, and man does it play well with the passion fruit goodness that is Chinola. For those that are interested, Mastiha is a Greek liqueur that comes from the resin of the Mastica tree. It’s sweet and tastes of pine. It’s also surprisingly versatile in its use. So come down and grab one. (You’re not not helping the planet by doing so)

HEAR YE! NEW BALLER CLASSIC: Introducing The World’s Best Kir Royale. We took C. Cassis, a delicious boutique blackcurrant liqueur from upstate New York and dosed our favorite Cremant de Bourgogne, the 100% Aligoté ‘Quartier Libre’ by Burgundy’s sparkling masters at Parigot & Richard. The result shows off the bittersweet cassis and the minerally Cremant in full symphony, and it’s exactly what you need before a tasting menu (or at happy hour on the patio). And, no, smart alecks, we haven’t tested the name in open competition, but we do feel confident it would hold up to any challenge. Come down!
