Middleton Place Restaurant

Beautiful gardens and restaurant. We did wait a while before service came for drinks but was quick after that. I had the shrimp and grits and sampled some of the bisque and salads. All of it was delicious. The shrimp and grits was perfectly creamy and chewy. The tomato was flavorful and the shrimp juicy.

My husband and I had an incredible lunch! We ate fried green tomatoes, corn fritters and their delicious mushrooms in brioche! He sipped on some wicked bourbon and I had the apple bomb. 10/10, definitely recommend the frid green tomatoes!

Middleton Gardens are some of the prettiest we have in the Charleston area. It makes the best outdoor wedding venue I could imagine. I will also suggest having lunch at the restaurant, it has a nice selection of dishes and they are all delicious. There is also a garden market and gift store that are well worth shopping. It is so worth the trip.

The scenery at Middleton is stunning. If possible, visit the grounds and attractions. Take a leisurely walk about the place and sit in a quiet spot next to the river and watch the wildlife. Then have lunch or dinner. We have also stayed at Middleton Inn which is a great not-crowded more private option with gorgeous natural surroundings.

Such a romantic venue with great garden views and old paneling. Salads were tasty and innovative. Our entrees were delicious and ample…a huge but tender pork chop and a tender black grouper fillet, with interesting and tasty sides, such fingerling root vegetables and sweet potato, a welcome change from the usual starches. The wine list was extensive and we ordered a well above standard merlot and a delicious white burgundy. For dessert we shared a snazzy turtle cheesecake and thankfully there was enough to take home and enjoy again. We always enjoy this restaurant because they locally source and have many years experience with southern food that is traditional yet with cutting edge inhancements.

We are staying at the Inn at Middleton Place so coming here was very convenient. The food was very good and if we were true foodies we would rave but we are more middle of the road…so the menu was a little “out there” for us.

We went for dinner on Wednesday 12/27. We had reservations so we were seated when we walked in. Food and drinks and service were really good.
