Circa 1886 occupies the carriage house built in 1886 for the Wentworth Mansion, a piece of Charleston's architectural history preserved by the Widman family as part of their Charming Inns collection in Harleston Village. Executive Chef Marc Collins has led the kitchen since 2001, working seasonal ingredients from local farms and regional purveyors into a menu that shifts through the year.
Dinner runs through two six-course tasting menus alongside à la carte options. Reviewers regularly bring up the soufflé, amuse bouche, venison, and sea scallops, with sommelier Anne Hampton curating the wine list and pairings.
The room has built a reputation as a special-occasion destination, drawing repeat visits for its wine pairings and its setting inside one of Charleston's landmark historic properties.
