Last week, I called ahead and ordered two branzino with Pete. He cleaned and scaled them for me,…read morewhich I really appreciated since it was my first time cooking this fish. I was a little nervous, but also excited--and Pete made the whole process easy. He was very pleasant to talk to. I learned that branzino isn't something they always keep in stock, so it's best to call ahead and order. While I was there, I also picked up thyme, rosemary, lemon, red onions, regular onions, and honey, which saved me a trip to the grocery store. The shop was very clean and didn't have that strong fishy smell, which I liked. I was greeted right away, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a great shopping experience. I'm already planning to order a whole red snapper next--or maybe even baby back ribs--since ordering here is so easy. I'll attach photos of how the branzino turned out.

I had a feast every day of my birthday week. I was inspired by the cooking demonstrations on the Salt Water Market livestreams. Nothing can compare to fresh shrimp. The flavor of fresh shrimp is so much more superior to the jumbo frozen shrimp that I have in my freezer. My New York Strip was better than Ruth's Chris or Morton's. I need a little practice with the tenderness of my lamb chops but the flavor was there. I experimented with scampi butter, Cajun and other seasonings.

This was our first dinner at Speckled Pear and - wow! The phrase "gourmet dining" gets misused so…read moremuch it's become meaningless. So how about, "epicurean"?, "gastronomic"? OK, I'll just say we had "da** fine" meals. Fresh, seasonal ingredients combined in some unique and surprising ways, beautifully prepared and so, so delicious. Just look at the photos of a selection of our dishes. This was well worth an update of my earlier review. First, Speckled Pear has removed the community seating and the prepared food, bakery and produce counters from my earlier visits and replaced them with true "restaurant" tables. The focus is now squarely on dining, with lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch service. And oh, there's still a wine bar and bottles are still available for purchase. In my humble view a significant positive step. Our servers were excellent, including helpfully explaining some of the wine options (my wife and sister-in-law ordered a flight). Still a fairly casual environment. Great acoustics- I hate echo chambers. We sat close to other guests but were able to easily talk among ourselves without hearing any extraneous neighbor conversations. Dare I say, Speckled Pear is now a {insert tire company name} star-quality dining experience. In Fort Mill! PS - It's a small restaurant which filled quickly and early on the weekday we visited. Reservations are recommended.
