All I can say is, their food is so good, my husband and I had our wedding rehearsal dinner here. If you're new to the South, order the Chicken and Waffles and thank us later.

Treat yourself to an absolute essential night out in Germantown by hitting up Eiderdown. The restaurant itself is stunning and the food is even better. Eiderdown stays true to the blue collar, Eastern European nature of the neighborhood with German-inspired food and affordable prices, yet still gives out an upscale feel. Highly recommended for a nice, after Oaks-day dinner.

Brunch brunch brunch BRUNCH. This adorable little gem is by far one of the best in the hood for brunch. Their lunch and dinner is also great, but it's hard to beat $3 mimosas and bloody marys and a biscuit sandwich with gravy, grits, bacon and fried chicken.
