One of the best kept secrets about The Establishment is that we offer a private chef service with in-home meal preparation and service. Want to add a sommelier to your evening? We offer that as well.
Whether this is your first time in Charleston, you visit every year, or you've lived here all of your life, you know that the Holy City delights in culinary perfection. If you've dined with us, you know that we strive to offer the best that our city has to offer, from ingredients in the kitchen to service at the table. Everything we serve will always reflect our clean, non-complex, and balanced approach, delivering a selection of thoughtful and refined dishes. And we're now bringing these ingredients directly to your door, preparing them in your kitchen, and serving them at your table.
Chef Canter and his team will create and curate a multi-course menu for you and your guests, relying heavily on discussions with you on what you want to appear on your table. These conversations will culminate in a dining experience featuring a four- to seven-course dinner, including an intimate conversation with the chef about the preparation of each course as it's being served. You may also choose to have one of our sommeliers attend to educate you about each wine or bourbon as it is being poured.
It's fun and relaxing to enjoy dinner this way. Don't worry about the ride downtown, parking, or babysitters. We'll be at your place two hours before dinner while you enjoy a glass of wine and put the kids to bed. Then we'll start serving an incredible meal while you enjoy time with friends and family. And then (best part) we'll clean up the kitchen and leave. You get all the upside, none of the downside of preparing a large meal for a group.
Some of our dishes we bring directly from the restaurant's menu to your home. This is the chilled shrimp and tarragon dish that we've had on our menu in the restaurant since we opened.
We poach and chill the shrimp at our place and plate the dish at yours, making everything perfectly fresh and beautiful for your guests.
Chef Canter can prepare any style of food that you wish. This bite is a simple take on melon and country ham. You let us know what flavors you enjoy and we'll present you a menu that we think captures what you wish to have served. We'll work together on the menu until it's perfect. Only then will the menu be set.
Want to have a small spread of appetizers set out while we are preparing the main courses? We're happy to do so.
Set the scene for a romantic evening at our bar, with hand-crafted cocktails, mouthwatering cuisine, and intimate conversation. đź–¤ #theestablishment #charlestoneats #chseats #charlestonfood #charlestonfinedining #explorecharleston #chsfoodies
