Newly constructed restaurant with ample outdoor space to open this summer in Mount Pleasant

MOUNT PLEASANT — A new restaurant with ample outdoor dining space is set to open soon, though maybe not soon enough for some who long to spend lazy days outside. From recently formed hospitality group High Tide Provisions, Frank & Jack's is targeting a late summer opening at 1434 Ira Road. The restaurant, set on a two-acre lot just off U.

S. Highway 17, will feature an indoor dining area and bar, an outdoor lawn with a live music stage and walk-up bar window, as well as a standalone ice cream shack with sweet treats for the kids. Local beers, wine and cocktails will be available to pair with a culinary offering of "reimagined nostalgic dishes with a modern twist.



" Short rib poutine, pot pie, moules-frites and pizzas are among the items that could land on the opening menu, said culinary partner Jonathan Rohland, who recently worked for Hawkers Asian Street Food out of Orlando. He relocated to Charleston ahead of the debut. High Tide project leader Stephanie Samuels said she envisions Frank & Jack's as a community gathering space that meets the needs of diners from all walks of life.

Its large footprint will also allow the group to host private events, from intimate dinners to more grand gatherings. "We thought this might be the perfect project for this lot of land," said Samuels, who partnered with Rohland and Alice Lewis to bring the restaurant to life. The restaurateurs have hired local firms CB Elrod & Co.

and Bello Garris Architects to complete construction, while Hunter Floyd Williams of Hunter Studio is leading design efforts. When it debuts later this year, Frank & Jack’s will open daily for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. For updates visit frankandjackschs.
