2. The August House Restaurant + Venue
One of the coolest things about August House is their frequently changing menu, courtesy of part-owner and master chef Adam Alford. From Asian sesame duck wings to braised pork belly with wild mushrooms and cheese grits, August House’s ever-changing menu is sure to never disappoint.
But what about that view? August House’s outdoor dining area is gorgeous. Guests can dine over a beautiful green lawn surrounded by string lights and trees in a relaxed environment. Did someone say ambiance?
