Saltus River Grill
is a unique, and exciting restaurant in historic downtown Beaufort,
South Carolina. With a grand view of the Intracoastal Waterway from its
Sonoma-style patio or from the expansive full-service bar and dining room,
this sizzling contemporary seafood grill combines the atmosphere of a
chic Manhattan eatery with the historic charm found only in the South
Carolina Lowcountry.
A unique, historic location...
The history of the Saltus River Grill's location is as interesting as the
restaurant's menu and extensive wine selections.
• The building was first constructed in 1787 by the famous Southern
Shipbuilder John Francis Saltus and is attached to one of the oldest tabby
buildings in the United States.
• The actual restaurant sits on the site of the Saltus & Talbird
Shipyard that turned out sailing ships and gunboats into the 1800s.
• A landmark in the 400-year-old city of Beaufort, the building
was later sold to the Habersham Family and is widely known to locals for
the Belk-Simpson Department store that was opened there in the 1950s.
Respect for the past as well the present...
When Saltus River Grill Owner, Lantz Price, and designer, Whitney Rietz,
began the renovations of the historic building and the construction of the
restaurant more than a year ago, they took great care to respect the history
of the bustling shipping era that has helped define the Lowcountry and Beaufort
for so long.
Large "portals" backlit from the kitchen and enormous sail canvas photographs
are just a few of the details that will remind you of the building's rich
past. The modern amenities, the friendly professional staff, the comfortable
seating and eclectic atmosphere will impress you in the present.
The best wine and food in the Lowcountry...
Chef
Jim Spratling's talents go beyond his work in the kitchen. In addition to
designing and preparing the menus of food and wine himself, Jim believes
that the purity of ingredients and simplicity of presentation highlights
a meal's elegance.
His demand and insistence for the freshest local ingredients combined with
his ability to present his creations classically and artfully means more
than just dinner. It's a unique experience.
From the moment you enter until your last sip of espresso, General Manager
Rose Copeland and her staff make it their personal mission in life to see that
your dining experience is nothing less than extraordinary.
