This year's Christmas presents are all experiences! Since you're coming down to the South East I'd like to treat you to some of the nicer experiences the area has to offer. So, your gift comes in three parts:
(Part one)
Pick one of charleston's
best restaurants
The menu is the heart and soul of the restaurant. It will change often, fluctuating with the seasons and availability of product. We are relentless in our pursuit of the freshest products, which are constantly inspiring and defining our work. We have curated a family of purveyors. Paying respect to their efforts and traditions is essential to our mission. Our wine & beverage program is thoughtful and innovative. The wine list is focused on relevance and quality rather than depth or quantity. Labels range from important newcomers to Old-World classics, with a nod to small family wineries who put as much love and care into their wines as we put into our food.
Park & Grove is a much-loved neighborhood gem just steps from historic Hampton Park in downtown Charleston. Like its dynamic neighborhood, Park & Grove moves with the seasons. Using fresh ingredients that reflect the abundance from local fields, farms, and waters, the culinary team blends classic and inventive approaches for an unforgettable New American experience. From simple preparations of wildly delicious dishes, thoughtful service, and inviting space that effortlessly moves from sun-drenched brunches to starlit dinners — to outdoor gathering space for events and activations, Park & Grove is an effervescent energy. A place and a feeling you long to return to. Joyful nourishment for bodies, hearts and souls.
Wild Olive opened its doors in the heart of Charleston’s farming community in 2009. Striving to capture the cultural magic of true Italian dining, Wild Olive places the utmost value on simple, seasonal cuisine, paired with food friendly wines. Delivered by a service staff with a genuine warmth and enthusiasm, the restaurant’s energy is relaxed yet lively.
While sourcing as much product locally as possible, the kitchen staff transforms the bounty of the lowcountry into artisanal variations of regional Italian classics. House-made pasta and house-cured salumi are focal points for Chef Larson and his team.
