Description: The trend toward natural and organic cuisine meshes with a balmy, natural setting at Cha-Bella, a local favorite and off the beaten path for tourists. Anchored by a lovely patio grill, the menu is amazing and filled with fresh and artfully presented appetizers and entrees such as Georgia white shrimp Carolina gold risotto, which is pan-tossed shrimp with asparagus and a light lemon Chardonnay and tarragon sauce. The hand-rolled pasta is fresh every evening and filled with natural, organic fillings. There’s a grouper dish that features a hearty mound of gently seared fish with a farm pea, sweet corn, and lump crab succotash. If weather permits, dine under the stars on the patio. There is an attractive bar inside. Hours are Sun through Thurs from 5:30 to 9 p.m.; Fri and Sat 5:30 to 10 p.m.
