What People Are Saying About Green Pastures
The Owner
Green Pastures
Owner
The genteel culture of the Old South is preserved at this elegant dining room serving nouveau continental cuisine. Occupying the circa-1894 childhood home of humorist John Henry Faulk, Green Pastures retains the charm of an earlier era. The subdued interior is elegant and old-fashioned, with carved fireplaces, antique furniture and long, sweeping drapes at the tall windows. Large live oaks, shrubs and flowers dominate the grounds, which are home to a family of peacocks. While still a draw for lunch and dinner, the restaurant serves as a popular site for outdoor weddings and banquets.

In Short – Occupying the circa-1894 childhood home of humorist John Henry Faulk, Green Pastures retains the charm of an earlier era. The subdued interior is elegant and old-fashioned, with carved fireplaces, antique furniture and long, sweeping drapes at the tall windows. Large live oaks, shrubs and flowers dominate the grounds, which are home to a family of peacocks. The menu is continental, with nouvelle twists thrown in, making it a popular lunch and dinner stop.

Wonderful Caterers
by mdw1970 at Citysearch
The agency that I work for had an event and we asked Green Pastures to cater the event. Not only was the food wonderful but the catering staff was very professional and very personable. I would recommend them to cater any events.
