About the restaurant

Mac’s idea is that every moment matters from the seed to the plate. We believe that it’s important to know where your food comes from and to build a relationship with your soil, its bounty, and the village that cares for it. All the while questioning what southern food means.

Mac's features a locally sourced menu of shareable plates, a curated wine list for each menu, along with a seasonal cocktail menu. Located inside Flora De Mel.

My wife and I dined at the Auld Alliance for a getaway weekend. We were not expecting the restaurant to be as great as it was! From the minute you walk in, the atmosphere is very romantic and it is just a very cool upscale vibe. The service and food were both a 10 out of 10. I would recommend the Auld Alliance to anyone.
