As well as exciting special event weekends and attractive packages, the New Year brings a variety of tempting culinary offerings to Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina. As the holiday decorations come down and the season changes, so do the menus at the resort’s restaurants. At the Ocean Room, Chef de Cuisine Kevin Ives presents both tasting and a la carte menus that derive their influence from North Africa and the Mediterranean. (Did you know that the Ocean Room, The Sanctuary’s signature restaurant, achieved Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence for the second straight year?) Across The Sanctuary’s Grand Lobby at Jasmine Porch, Chef de Cuisine Nathan Thurston serves up his award-winning grits, along with the rest of Lowcountry inspired cuisine. While two short par fours away, Turtle Point Grill offers traditional steaks and seafood in a traditional clubhouse setting.
