At Mallard, Chef Johnson will apply classic and global techniques to the culinary traditions of the south while incorporating the best local and regional ingredients available. Undergirding it all will be a sense of hospitality rooted in Johnson’s memories of the family table.

Mallard’s menu will range from Chef Johnson’s take on classics like Shrimp and Grits with Smoked Pork, Piquillo Peppers, and Tabasco-Shellfish Nage and Wild-Caught Blue Catfish with Poached Oysters, Summer Corn, and Smoked Trout Roe to new creations like Seared Sea Scallops with Cracklin’ Cornbread, Charred Peaches and Dandelion Greens and Crisp Berkshire Pork Trotters with Ramp Chow Chow, Sunny-Side-Up Egg, and Edisto Island Grits.

    My girlfriend and I just had the best experience here. Immediately the ambiance took our breath away, setting a positive tone. The cocktails were very well crafted, and the three appetizers we began with were WOW-level delicious... start with the fried oysters and foie gras, follow that with the Pekin duck and steak, you will have a spectacular experience. Will absolutely be back to try the rest of the menu, 100%
