Executive chef and owner Kevin Johnson has recently opened The Grocery in downtown Charleston. A veteran of such restaurants as Slightly North of Broad, Anson Restaurant, and the Inn at Little Washington, Johnson is serving up seasonal, ingredient-inspired cuisine with Mediterranean and Southern American influences.
Johnson has created a gathering place of warmth and familiarity, with a menu based on what is available from the local and regional farmers and fishermen he knows and has worked with for many years.Diner's are encouraged to share several small or large plates from the continually evolving menu, evoking a sense of community.
Current highlights include: Fried Oysters with Deviled Egg Sauce and Bread-and-Butter Pickles; Bouillabaisse of Fish, Clams, Shrimp and Squid with Grilled Bread and Aioli; and Pork Osso Buco served with a Ragout of Sea Island Red Peas and Cornbread.
The Grocery is located at 4 Cannon Street and is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday starting at 5 p.m. For more information, please visit www.thegrocerycharleston.com or call 843.302.8825.
