Sermet Asalan is the owner of a small local restaurant that my friends enjoy and wanted me to share a meal there. The restaurant is charming and the food outstanding. Sermet comes to the table to greet you and knows his customers. Sermet’s menu.
My choice was the Sweet Potato Angolotti with chicken, bacon, green apples, mushrooms in Marsala cream.
My hosts had Scallop Risotto with summer squash, asparagus, lemon parsley butter…
Shrimp Polenta pickled peppers, bacon, queso fresco, wine cream
Charbroiled Filet Mignon fingerling potatoes, grilled asparagus, truffle mustard aioli, porcini-tomato sauce
Filet Mignon

Art and food tastefully combined to create a charming atmosphere. The restaurant was bustling when we arrived. Reservations are recommended.
Our pleasant evening celebrations ended at Sermet’s Courtyard restaurant. 
It was a special place to enjoy a graciously prepared meal in casual surroundings. Sermet’s actual Courtyard is open for outdoor dining too. We would have liked to eat outdoors, but the weather was “iffy”. We are waiting for hurricane Dorian.
Thanks for stopping by my traveling kitchen.
Have a happy day wherever you find yourself.
I think I would kill someone for that scallop risotto. And down here we call shrimp with polenta shrimp and grits.
Lol! Well heck. This was a classy place…😂
Great food…good luck with Dorian.
Thanks. We are safe where we are. But Charleston will likely flood.
Looks great, especially the scallops! Stay safe ❤️
Thanks! All the food is super. 👍🏻
