Southie is the more casual sister restaurant to the wildly popular Wood Tavern next door. Southie, named after the Boston neighborhood, bills itself as having an "East Coast mentality, West Coast sensibility. The specialty here is all things sandwiches, but not just your typical deli fare. At Southie, you're likely to find sandwiches like a Shaved Porchetta sandwich with Fennel, Avocado and Olive Puree and a Mustard Vinaigrette, or the "Spicy Hog" Pulled Pork sandwich with Pickled Jalapeños, Slaw, and Lime Aioli. There is also a small selection of soups and salads, along with desserts like Bacon Infused Chocolate Pudding. In the evenings, Southie switches from 'wiches to small plates like Fried Baby Artichokes, Sauteed Mussels with Chorizo, Ahi Tuna Panzanella Salad, and larger plates like Roasted Flat Iron Steak, Fresh Tagliatelle Carbonara, and of course a few of their signature sandwiches. Southie also has a selection of wines on tap and bottled beers.
