Planters Inn

New Dining in Downtown Charleston’s 🍽️

🍣 | 479 King St.
Tokyo-born Chef Masa Hamaya brings robata-fired Japanese tavern dining to Upper King. Think smoky skewers, deeply layered ramen, crisp tempura, and hand rolls — all centered around a glowing open-hearth grill.

☕ | 115 Wentworth St.
European café charm — pastries and espresso by morning, wine and cocktails by night. The newest location of this downtown Charleston staple brings its signature old-world warmth to Harleston Village, tucked inside a beautifully restored 1910s brick building.

🥟 | 73 Spring St.
Filipino-Japanese street food — dumplings, wagyu onigiri, noodle soups, and Japanese shaved ice. Rooted in the spirit of the Cannonborough–Elliotborough neighborhood, Bareo is the kind of casual, creative, come-as-you-are spot downtown has been quietly waiting for.

🥐 | 185 St. Philip St.
After years of quietly supplying Charleston’s best restaurants with fresh breads and pastries, Annie and Jason Vieira fiunally have a (pink!) place to call their own. Expect Southern classics like biscuits, key lime pie, coconut cream cake, and inventive lattes like vanilla date and raspberry pistachio. A true labor of love — and it shows.

⛲️ A garden party to kick off the sweetest Southern weekend! 🍾🌴 The bride & groom are rehearsed and ready, now it’s time to soak in the scenery and celebrate with loved ones. 🥂

📍Nestled in the heart of downtown Charleston, our Courtyard Garden sets the scene for an evening of heartfelt toasts, Southern hospitality, and anticipation for the festivities ahead.✨💍
