Vidalia is a cozy bistro-style restaurant that specializes in contemporary farm-to-table fare with Southern influences in an intimate, relaxed atmosphere. Located opposite the Watauga County Courthouse near the Appalachian State University, the small, neat little bistro is a foodie paradise that focuses on creating and serving enticing dishes using locally grown produce and naturally-raised meats. Signature dishes include pecan herb-breaded North Carolina trout topped with lemony celery, creole-battered Southern-fried chicken served with waffles, sesame coriander tuna, pan-sautéed lump crab cakes, and desserts of chocolate praline tart and apple turnover. An extensive list of over 60 bottles of wines, specialty cocktails, and craft beers are available from the full-service bar, and the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, Thursday through Sunday and dinner only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
