About the restaurant
Recently named the Best Fining Dining Restaurant in Mississippi by Mississippi Magazine and located in the Fairpark District, Park Heights offers Chef Thomas Lester's menu including seared hanger steak, yellowfin tuna tartar, heirloom tomato caprese, prosciutto wrapped monkfish and prime cuts of beef. The main dining room, with its reclaimed hardwood floors and retro lighting, provides an atmosphere that is sophisticated without feeling formal. Often sited as the best in town, the service is professional and gracious, and the wine list is extensive. If you enjoy dining al fresco, try the rooftop or patio which have amazing views of downtown.

About the restaurant
City Grocery has become a landmark in the Oxford dining scene. Exposed brick walls and heart pine plank floor augment the candle light and white linen staging some the most inventive and interesting food in the South. "Their (dishes) deft presentation is imaginative, skillful and disciplined, elevating them above qualification as regional and ethnic cuisine."

Lunch at City Grocery is always a hit! Allll of the appetizers sounded good so we might have ordered all three… I will say the phyllo/mushroom one was not my fave. It was cold and I expected warm. It was almost sweet? Anyway the other two were awesome. And my Ceasar salad with blackened shrimp was really good too. They always have the best music playing at the perfect volume. The service was just right too. Love some CG!

We are located within Silo Square limits, in front of the Bank Plus Amphitheatre, and Snowden Grove Fields. We, as a restaurant, strive to be part of the community, and as a family-owned restaurant, we know the meaning of coming together. Our dishes are thoughtfully curated by Chef Alex Guerrero with a Latin modern twist. Some of our most popular dishes include Carne Asada Tacos, Chicken Fajitas, and Trio Special to name a few. Our ambiance is relaxed, family-friendly, and unique to the area. Our upstairs dining area includes a bar, patio, and a great scenery. It will feel like a staycation. Come, enjoy, be our guest!
