Jasmine Porch at The Sanctuary

Jasmine Porch draws mostly resort guests and occasional day-trippers rather than Charleston locals, functioning more as a hotel dining room than a destination locals seek out on their own. Consensus is that the setting — ocean views, old Charleston brick, hewn oak floors — elevates the experience, and standout Lowcountry dishes like shrimp & grits, fried oysters, and the signature biscuits with honey-thyme butter are genuinely well-executed. Execution is inconsistent on some proteins (overcooked chicken flagged more than once), and the price point is firmly resort-tier, which keeps the local crowd thin.
