Occasions
James Island birthdays belong in the backyard — the guest of honor gets the chef’s full attention, from the onion volcano to the zucchini toss, and the whole crowd gets dinner and a show.
James Island families gather around one grill — kids love the zucchini toss, adults love the sake pour, and nobody has to cook.
High school and college grads — graduation season books out fast. A backyard hibachi night beats fighting for a restaurant table.
Charleston County offices book us for team dinners and client nights that beat another chain-restaurant outing.
