Origin Story
Sweetgrass was born from a dream to create more than a restaurant — to create a homecoming. A place where the food tells our stories, the art weaves our history, the spa renews our spirit, and the homes nurture our community. Here the voices of the Gullah people are honored, heard and celebrated.
At Sweetgrass, every meal is a memory, every story a bridge, every treatment a healing touch, and every residence a sanctuary within the fabric of a people who endured, created, and thrived. Each aspect of Sweetgrass reflects the heritage of those who cultivated the land, shaped the tides, and preserved their legacy through resilience, beauty, and togetherness.
I welcome you to Sweetgrass—to dine, to retreat, to learn, to live, and most importantly, to belong.
– Monica Hughes Davy
Founder & CEO, Sweetgrass
