Lowland Tavern and the Quinte Open in Charleston | Eater Carolinas
"Adjacent to the Quinte, Lowland occupies the Lequeux-Williams House and is divided into the more laid-back Tavern on the first floor — opening this weekend — and a second-floor Dining Room that will be tasting-menu-only when it debuts. I found the Tavern intentionally approachable and rooted in nostalgia: the menu features finessed comfort items like a burger and biscuits alongside Southern American dishes such as Ossabaw porchetta and collards, a slightly British note with banoffee pudding, and a hint of Japanese in dishes like chicken tsukune. Stanhope cites the grilled fish as the dish that typifies the Tavern: he’s bringing in the best fish he can find and serving it simply — poaching, steaming, or grilling and presenting it in a light broth with minimal garnish — emphasizing technique and restraint while keeping the plates craveable and memorable. Both Lowland and Quinte are open Thursday through Monday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.; for reservations diners can email hello@lowlandcharleston.com." - Erin Perkins
