A James Beard Foundation dinner has been a long-time goal for us—and getting to do it surrounded by people who’ve supported us along the way was really special. Friends who knew us before we knew each other (17 years ago!) came from all over and filled the room with such joy.

The Foundation’s work—advocating for independent restaurants, equity in the industry, and a more sustainable future—is something we deeply believe in. This night felt like a celebration of this mission.

has become such a close friend, and having her there with us, guiding the wines, made the night feel even more meaningful.

Good food for good.

Finalists for Best New Restaurant by

We started this business cooking focaccia out of our house on April 4, 2020. At the time, we were just trying to keep moving, stay creative, and build something of our own. There was no roadmap—just a lot of trial and error, long days, and belief that if we kept going, something would come from it.

A lot has changed since then, but the core of how we work hasn’t. We still show up every day trying to get a little better, take care of our team, and create something meaningful for the people who walk through our doors.

It feels especially meaningful to share this recognition with Welton’s Tiny Bakeshop another husband and wife team who started with a pop-up in 2020. Now, between us, there are two nominated businesses and 3 (almost 4 🩷 ) young children. That parallel isn’t lost on us.

We’re really grateful—for our team, our guests, and this city. And to our farmers, ranchers, fishermen and purveyors of the finest ingredients- you are who make us shine.

Thank you to 🙏🏻

When calls, you answer. And when he calls, it’s always, always about helping someone. So when he called, pitching us a ‘Merci, Charleston Grill’ legends dinner for Feed the Need, there was no question of the answer.

This night was simply incredible. To have graced the same dining room as these hospitality legends will forever leave a mark on our story.

Merci, Charleston Grill 🤍

Last year at this time we were in the final countdown. Testing, detailing, fine tuning - and wishing our doors were open in time for festival. Easily one of the most beautiful weekends of the year for Charleston. We opened two weeks later, but have been so excited for this year, opening our doors to the festival and participating in an incredible weekend that we’ve waited so long for.

Yesterday, we hosted and 24 guests for a Friday lunch in peak sunshine, epic pours and a bounty of first of the season spring produce.

As we near our one year anniversary, we’re so humbled and proud to have this incredible little gem filled with so much excitement and joy. Thank you for all you do for Charleston 🙏🏻
