Central

The downtown loft restaurant in a renovated warehouse on Coosa Street has been Montgomery's go-to date-night room since opening in 2010 — modern Southern menu (think shrimp and grits with chorizo, redfish over field peas), local farm sourcing, decent cocktails.

Book ahead on weekends. The space — exposed brick, high ceilings, big bar — is the nicest room downtown for dinner.
