Our chefs turned up the heat at Cruchella 🔥😎

Inspired by the vegetable forward flavors of the West Coast, our “Fire not Fyre” station brought the show and the flavor. Guests gathered around as romaine was charred live with a flamethrower, just steps from fire performers lighting up the night.

We were honored to be part of The Point’s fundraising event yesterday at Founders Hall, with 100% of proceeds benefiting Share Our Suzy.

This Lowcountry organization honors the legacy of Suzy McGrane by supporting breast cancer patients from diagnosis to remission and providing financial assistance so patients and families can focus on hope and healing.

🌻 Pan Seared Quail with Fig Jam and Balsamic over a salad of Shaved Fennel, Citrus Supremes, Arugula, and Shallots.

Our chefs used fresh figs from our garden to make the jam and the quail was provided by Manchester Farms .

The Hofstetter reception earlier this year featured oysters beyond the plate. Thoughtful nods throughout the evening and fresh shucks by our team made them a quiet thread in the celebration.

It’s National Oyster Day, and with cooler days on the horizon, we’re looking forward to shucking again this fall 🦪

Out of town guests from DC and Maryland had plenty of accoutrements to choose from. What’s your preference?

Charleston’s food scene wasn’t built overnight. It was shaped by hands at the stove, voices in the kitchen, and friendships that held through years of service and change. This gathering brought many of those voices back to the same table. A group of OG Charleston chefs reunited to honor chefs Robert Carter and Philip Barton, two men who helped lay the foundation for what this community is today. There were many stories, moments of silence, and deep laughter that spoke to how much these lives mattered. Robert’s son Ben was there to hear it all, bringing this heartfelt evening full circle ❤️

Thank you to for capturing a night that won’t be forgotten!

Pride in the process. From early prep to final placement, our team brings care and consistency. Grateful to work alongside friends who uphold a shared standard that’s never rushed. Libby and Riley’s welcome party began with a cheese and charcuterie display that reflected just that.

It’s an honor to be part of days that hold such deep meaning. For 25 years couples have entrusted Cru with their most meaningful traditions and our team takes pride in caring for each. From presenting fresh challah for a ceremonial cutting to serving cold sake for a celebratory toast, these moments remind us what it’s all about. Congratulations to this beautiful family on a day rooted in love 🤍🥖🍶
