Side By Side: The Definition of Southern Elegance

I had the ultimate dining experience at The Side by Side restaurant which opened March 3, 2015. The Side By Side is a modern, attractive restaurant created by Chef Chris Hastings, winner of the 2012 James Beard Award. His career began with Frank Stitt of Highlands Bar and Grill and the two later opened a second restaurant together – Bottega. In 1995, Hastings opened his own Hot and Hot Fish Club in Birmingham, Alabama, as one of the first farm-to-table restaurants in the South.

Now the two-time James Beard “Best Chef in the South” finalist has branched out to Title Town.
