The amazing oceanfront view from floor to ceiling is the first thing that you notice when you enter the elegant dining room of Tide to Table in the Litchfield Inn. However, that is only one of the reasons that it is a popular place to dine on South Carolina’s Hammock Coast®.

Tide to Table, a new fine-dining restaurant located at the iconic Oceanfront Litchfield Inn on the southern section of Litchfield Beach, just a few miles north of Pawleys Island, is already very popular among visitors and residents.

Jordan VanderLeest, area director of food and beverage for Brittan Resorts & Hotels and the Litchfield Company, says Tide to Table’s soaring popularity stems from “its perfect blend of breathtaking ocean views, impeccably crafted cuisine and an unwavering commitment to the community.”

“Perched above the shoreline, Tide to Table is an elegant oceanfront restaurant that offers floor-to-ceiling views of the Atlantic Ocean,” VanderLeest added, “that is sure to make your dining experience as memorable as it is enchanting.”
