Description:
HICKORY. Tucked discreetly into a former residence, 1859 Cafe greets patrons with a strong measure of hospitality and a well-conceived menu. Inside the romantic restaurant, guests can start with grilled oysters or lump crab cakes before moving to rack of lamb with hazelnut crust, bacon-wrapped grouper florentine, or roasted half-duck with port wine cherry sauce. Live music is a welcome perk on Saturday evenings, and outdoor dining pleases folks when the weather cooperates. |

Description:
HICKORY. Nautical decor adds reinforcement to this popular restaurant's propensity for seafood. The casual place easily accommodates single diners or large groups, taking care of folks who come for heaping plates of fried and broiled fish and shellfish. Opt for flounder, scallops, shrimp, or combinations of such; they come accompanied by cole slaw and either baked potato or fries. Plus, there's always a big bowl of hush puppies to ease the time between ordering and eating. |
