Southern Cuisine, Updated and Reimagined
Our guests enjoy one experience no other visitor or Charlestonian can - the chance to start their day with a full Southern breakfast at Circa 1886. Of course, it wouldn’t be fair to keep all the goodness to ourselves. At dinner, Chef Marc Collins’ stellar cuisine is enjoyed by all who long for a lighter, brighter take on classic Lowcountry fare - in a setting that’s considered one of the most romantic in the world.
Circa 1886 Restaurant Voted #2 Best Hotel Restaurant
in the U.S. by USA Today 10Best
In 2019 Executive Chef Marc Collins launched a unique menu concept that takes guests on a journey through the belly of South Carolina Foodways from its humble beginnings, multinational influences and what that means for modern day cuisine fused together from this rich history. From dishes like Broken Arrow Axis Venison with sunchoke hash and sunflower seed butter to Piedmontese Oxtail with conch fritter and mustard greens, the flavors come together to tell a beautiful story.
