Circa 1886, a fine dining restaurant holding the distinctions of Forbes Four Star and AAA Four Diamond ratings, is located on the grounds of the Wentworth Mansion in Charleston, SC. The restaurant serves a seasonal menu with a focus on local product, high quality ingredients and Southern flavors. Executive Chef Marc Collins puts his own forward-thinking spin on traditional Lowcountry dishes and the result is food that is both modern and comforting.
Each bottle of our 250 bottle wine list has been carefully selected for its character and ability to pair well with our cuisine. To keep pace with varying menus and trends, our wine list is ever-changing as well. In cooler months, the list is stocked with rich and bold wines, whereas in the warmer months, the focus is on light and refreshing profiles. All of our wines are stored in the original wine cellar of the Wentworth Mansion.
The restaurant is located in the original carriage house for the historic Wentworth Mansion, built in 1886, and the building still retains much of its original character. Many of the earliest architectural details still exist, including the wood-burning kitchen fireplace, stable doors, light-filled windows and original heart-of-pine floors. A favorite of guests are the cozy, romantic arched booths set along one wall, designed to mimic the original carriage openings. The restaurant’s warm hues, wood paneling, candlelit tables and plush interiors lend themselves to an elegant dining experience that is both comfortable and cosmopolitan.
