Contemporary with a deep South twist, 208 South Lamar is located just off the Oxford Square and beckons diners with its artsy neon sign. Entrees are a mix of seafood and traditional Southern cuisine, with the shrimp and grits a perennial favorite. Carolina crab cakes, blackened scallops, wasabi-pea crusted tuna and a salmon filet with creole mustard are just a few of the menu items that tempt diners who can catch their favorite game at the restaurant's bar.
