Best Historic Restaurants in Folly Beach

We had such a wonderful lunch ! We started with a flight of mimosas ! And then the fried chicken sandwich and the southern salads ! It’s was great ! Food was delicious and the place is beautiful!

We really enjoyed our dining experience. The location in Charleston is very cool and historic, and the interior itself definitely feels special. No TVs... how wonderful for an upscale restaurant! We were seated promptly per our reservation time and table type, our Anniversary was acknowledged with a signed card from the staff, embossed menus, and our server herself as well. Very thoughtful! We enjoyed cocktails, Salade Frisse, French Onion Soup, Beef Bourguignonne, and pan-seared Scallops with a Salad Nicoise. The chef sent us a complimentary side of honey-glazed, roasted carrots which complimented our meal nicely. Everything was delicious, cooked to perfection (ESPECIALLY THE SCALLOPS) and with a diverse and cohesive flavor palette. Our server kept the meal paced leisurely without dragging, and we were there about 1h40m overall which was really nice for a special event. Prices for entrees and most drinks are market correct for Charleston, with significant markup on sides and specialties like cheese and (if my math is correct) $1800/lb caviar sampler so pay attention to what you're spending. All in all, a great choice with zero misses on food or service throughout!

We celebrated my daughter’s birthday and Oak acknowledged it in a lovely manner…thank you! The food was delicious and the service was exceptional…thank you Eric.

Donnie just knows what hospitality is all about. Will always come back. The bolognese- chefs kiss

Let me start by saying Mike is an incredible host, server, chef, and historian. This was a one of a kind experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique culinary experience in Charleston. While it is not a conventional restaurant, Mike takes you on a culinary journey of 18th and 19th century low country cuisine, keeping things as authentic as possible while still appealing to our modern palates. Each dish was carefully crafted and thoughtfully prepared. The table was full of strangers, but we all got to chat and listen to Mike’s wonderful presentation of Charleston history to go along with each dish. Our specific meal was centered around Legacy families of Charleston, so we enjoyed dishes each family would have also enjoyed. Mike deserves all of the attention and reservations he can handle. As he says, he’s one of Charleston’s best kept secrets, and I believe that to be true because I had a fantastic experience.
