Each course is paired with historical context so guests can taste how food and dining customs evolved in Charleston’s past.
The Historic Table’s program combines careful historical interpretation with table-side presentation. Dishes are selected to represent different periods and influences that shaped Southern and Charleston cooking during the 1700s and 1800s.

The Historic Table is designed for guests who seek a culinary experience grounded in historical practice rather than a standard restaurant meal. It appeals to history enthusiasts, food scholars, visitors to Charleston looking for a distinctive evening, and anyone interested in the intersection of food, culture, and regional history. All descriptions and presentations are delivered from a historian’s perspective by Mike Hebb, reinforcing the experience’s educational and interpretive intent.
