Standout dish:

At about $35, The House's Diver Scallops over Parmesan mushroom risotto is one of the restaurant's best meals. Large, nicely cooked scallops are presented on a bed of spicy, creamy risotto. The dish is balanced by the tartness and freshness of the blistered tomatoes, which counterbalance the richness of the scallops and risotto. The dish is a fantastic example of The House's ability to combine classic Southern flavors with a dash of contemporary culinary expertise, and the presentation of the meal is excellent.
