Review:

Abel Brown is a popular Surrey Center Southern cuisine restaurant and oyster bar that caters to Georgia’s diverse cultural roots. A nautical theme in the décor is understated and tasteful, with clean lines, pale colors, and original accents such as heavy brass straight from a Texas shipyard. The menu is also authentic and understated, and chef and owner Todd Schafer introduces modern versions of traditional Southern dishes without losing authenticity.

All ingredients are fresh and seasonal, with, naturally, a heavy accent on freshly caught fish and seafood. The small but delectable selection of dishes changes daily and includes treats such as Goat Cheese gnocchi with butternut squash, Spanish chorizo sausage, balsamic roasted onions, and shitake mushrooms. Abel Brown has an extensive wine list, so treat yourself to a good bottle with exceptionally well prepared food.
