Tiny, slightly funky downtown contemporary bistro McEwen’s on Monroe opened over a decade ago and has remained popular ever since. The kitchen’s eclectic yet steady-handed approach to standard Southern ingredients reveals itself in dishes such as the watercress salad, sweet potato-crusted catfish and buttermilk fried oysters. No matter what you choose to eat — or how you choose to dress — you’ll feel at home inside this red brick restaurant where laid-back attitudes and sophisticated cooking coexist with remarkable ease. Extensive wine and beer list.
Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Fri, dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
"Southern-influenced American entrees include sweet potato-encrusted catfish with macaroni and cheese, picatta-style scallops with cheddar cheese grits, and grilled beef tenderloin."
