Brought to you by chef Duane Nutter and restauranteur Reggie Washington, Southern National serves locally-sourced seafood from the waters of the Gulf, craft cocktails & a globally-inspired culinary menu that pays homage to authentic Southern cuisine. Southern National is your local downtown Mobile clubhouse, perfectly appointed with an array of awe-inspiring antiques and casual touches alike, lend
ing to an atmosphere perfectly suited to Nutter and Washington's one-of-a-kind sense of southern hospitality and passion for unique flavors. Southern National’s conception is influenced by Louisiana haunts, where Chef Nutter spent his formative years, as well as from Reggie Washington's family, which has roots dating back 90 years in the Mobile farming and horticulture community. The restaurant will be serving up local seafood from the waters around the great city of Mobile, as well as what Chef Nutter dubs 'fun fish' he had been fortunate enough to work with during his 8-year stint serving over 800 people a day at One Flew South, the first fine dining restaurant in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The culinary program is complemented by a passion and knowledge for spriits that is evident in every pour, as well as impeccable service and attention to detail. Atlanta-based Smith Hanes Studio has designed an exquisite space with seating for approximately 150 guests, including an exterior courtyard that feels like it could very well fit in the Garden District of New Orleans or on Charleston's historic cobbled streets. An oversized u-shaped bar made of zinc and walnut takes center stage for cocktails and dining. The open front dining room offers guests a unique vantage point of Dauphin Street, overlooking the 167-year old Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. With the help of Washington's mother, Addie, the space is thoughtfully adorned with a combination of family and locally-sourced antiques. Green Olive Media, an award-winning firm specializing in design, communications, concepting and ideation, has been engaged to handle public relations, and is responsible for the development of the Southern National eyecatching brand and visual presence.
