Muddy Waters Coffee Bar

There couldn't be a better way to unwind than to sit in a cozy cafe, such as the Muddy Waters Coffee Bar, and enjoy a delicious frappe while you soak in the lilting tunes of a live music performance. What's unique about this place is that it features the Palmetto Acoustic that was set up with the intention of creating a collaborative space for solo artists and musicians. The Palmetto Acoustic series transforms the cafe into a listening room for acoustic music fans to enjoy free concerts, while they sip on some of the delicious beverages they offer. The warm wooden architecture of the Muddy Waters Coffee Bar is also worth checking out.

Tommy Condon's Irish Pub & Seafood Restaurant

Billing itself as an "authentic Irish pub," Tommy Condon's offers three different dining experiences beneath one roof. Diners can opt to enjoy a meal on the large outdoor deck, in the pub section, or in the more formal back dining room. The dining room is decorated in true Irish country style and the entire establishment is adorned with Irish antiques and collectibles, brought straight from Ireland by Condon himself. The atmosphere is family-oriented and children are always welcome. Shrimp and grits sit right alongside fish and chips on the menu, but the big corned beef and cabbage plate is a must try for those yearning for the Emerald Isle.

Graze

When you think about grazing, you can only imagine greener pastures and change. That is what Graze stands for, a restaurant which has gone into the greener meadows of contemporary cooking with a dynamic menu. Using only the freshest ingredients, each dish is a delightful experience. The menu has been divided into the 'Tiny Grazing' section, with small plates like lobster mac ‘n’ cheese, and the 'Grazing' section, where you will find dishes like the Korean-style beef barbecue and fried chicken and waffles. Make room for the desserts as well. The selective wine list showcases wine from California, as well as more rare labels.
