Is there any point to living in the South if you don't like Southern cooking? Suga's Deep South Cuisine & Jazz Bar is a sort of upscale, modern place with live jazz and a lively atmosphere. It's not necessarily the kind of place that comes to mind when you think of real "home-style" cooking, but the food will set the record straight. Shrimp and grits, lobster frittata, fresh cornbread and cakes, fried catfish, if you like hearty, filling seafood, this is the place. Everything seems to be fried or baked and thrown in a creamy sauce, so you probably don't want to eat here every day if you're watching your weight, but when you're in the mood for something rich, they've got what you're after.

If you're looking for something a little more international, check out the Tokyo Japanese Steak House and Sushi Bar. Great, fresh sushi rolls, beer and sake, and amazing steak.
