Coastal Provisions - ISLE OF PALMS

There are actually 2 reviews here, breakfast is a 5 star but dinner is lower at 3 stars. First breakfast ... It is a bit pricey but that is the norm for a hotel restaurant. The food was fresh and prepared very well. The portions were generous and the service was excellent. The server kept our coffees filled and checked in regularly. The bacon was perfectly crisp without being overcooked and the sausage links were large and well seasoned. The grits and potatoes were excellent although I did add salt and pepper to the grits. Dinner was a bit of a disappointment. Starting with the appetizers which were the star ... the Caesar salad was perfect with shaved cheese. The croutons were flavorful and the dressing nice and sharp with good hints of anchovies. The charcuterie was appropriately sized and the cherry vinaigrette went well with the meats and cheese. Portion size was small. The entree food portions were small and not well seasoned. My wife got the she crab soup as an entree and it was overly salty. The gnocchi was starchy and not as flavorful as I expected from the description. The promised sauce was hard to find. The bread basket had the tiniest corn muffins I have ever seen and the biscuits were dry and seemed left over from the mornings' service. At $7, I do not recommend adding the bread basket.

We had a lovely lunch on a Thursday afternoon. Small menu with what appears to be local ingredients (you would see some used a few times in various ways and I love that), pleasant ambiance, professional staff, and good service. We had the butterbean hummus and salads. The cocktails were good as well. I know there are negative reviews especially on service. But we did not experience that and everyone should get a pass in 2001.

I had breakfast here on the first day of our visit, and it was my first time trying grits. I thought I had had them in the army, but these were nothing like what I remembered! I’m eager to explore more of their menu because they’ve made a fantastic impression so far.

Incredible food and wonderful staff! We’re celebrating our honeymoon, and the team here has been so welcoming and accommodating. Lindsey, the bartender, is delightful and a pleasure to chat with, plus she makes fantastic drinks! Our meal was phenomenal; we shared the ribeye, and they even treated us to complimentary appetizers and drinks. We love this place and can’t wait to return!

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Coastal Provisions, and Mandie and her team were amazing. They were punctual, the service was exceptional, and every food and drink item was delicious—there wasn’t a single problem! While they typically don’t cater to large groups, they truly excelled with this event. We will definitely be returning to dine here again!
