Local fish of the day was a black grouper and it was delicious, fresh, and had a nice presentation. Another had the shrimp and grits. Biggest serving I’ve ever seen of that dish in this town. We started with raw oysters and they were on point! Decent wine list and our server,Joe, was fantastic.

Discover Daniel Island
Daniel Island is a vibrant location with traditional neighborhoods, a spectacular coastal view, and a thriving downtown filled with great restaurants. You can enjoy delicacies like parmesan-and-basil-encrusted salmon, lavender-and-honey-marinated pork tenderloin, or succulent lamb-and-beef meatballs over linguini with fine vintage wines and beautiful island views. What could be better than a fine meal starting with a charcuterie plate and jumbo lump crab cakes? Follow it up with tarragon shallot salmon, Mediterranean penne pasta, or pork Milanese and an IPA-style draft beer and you’ll have yourself a dining experience to remember. Save room for dessert because the white chocolate banana bread pudding, triple chocolate cake, and peanut-butter-cup pie are not to be missed. With a smattering of international fare and local bars, Daniel Island is a paradise for those who love food.
