So as it turns out Sauced is upscale Southern, much like nearly every other popular restaurant in town. Not to say that is a bad thing. In fact, Sauced was much more appealing to me than the oh so hyped Miller Union. As Mr. AT and I have been decorating lately, I've become obsessed with all things mid-century modern. Much to my surprise (and great pleasure), Sauced is sporting a mid-century look, too, as well as some retro cocktails (more Prohibition era than mid-century) and even old school desserts like icebox pie.
The food is hearty, comforting, and Southern. Mr. AT and I both gobbled up our shortrib wellington, served wtih mushroom duxelle, colman’s mustard paint, house demi, and brussels sprouts. It was a fun twist on the ubiquitous shortrib. Bacon brittle as an appetizer was exactly what it sounded like. Probably not as delicious as I hoped it would be, but certainly yummy enough to finish every last morsel. Both black-eyed pea fritters served with three dipping sauces and super delish sweet potato fries were gone too fast.
Service was friendly and gracious (unlike a certain jerky Miller Union employee), and the place was packed with a neighborhood crowd. Even better, prices are reasonable and notably lower than some comparable restaurants. All in all, pretty impressive for only being open a week, and it will probably only get better. Definitely looking forward to a return visit!

I really need to put this restaurant on a "Want to Visit" list. Ria's, Bluebird, except for my horrible seating, was planty of fun.
