Fodor's Expert Review Circa 1886

Located on-site at the Wentworth Mansion, this former residential home is full of hand-carved marble fireplaces and stained-glass windows. The locally sourced menu is designed as a journey through South Carolina history, with dishes like heart of palm soup and venison loin that highlight ingredients used by presettlement Native Americans along with ones that celebrate the Lowcountry's Gullah-Geechee culture, like shrimp and rice grits. For those looking for an intimate, romantic meal, the low lighting and quiet comfort of Circa 1886 is hard to top.
