featuring Master Sommelier Brett Davis


Join us for an exceptional wine and food experience on November 10th! The Establishment is hosting an intimate 4-course dinner featuring wines from Italy and special guest Brett Davis. Brett Davis is a Master Sommelier and will discuss the featured wines alongside chef Elliott Howells' Italian inspired menu. The dinner will begin with passed hors d'oeuvres at 6:00pm, followed by a seated dinner at 6:30pm. Enjoy chef Howells' creative menu as Brett Davis guides us through Italy's diverse wine offerings.  The featured wines will be available for purchase at the conclusion of the evening.

This event will be held in our private dining room. Because Brett Davis will only be in town a short while, this dinner will take place regardless of what kind of weather Nicole may or may not throw at us!

The Latest Dish


Let’s give a *hand* to Mike Crimmins, lead server at The Establishment 🙌  Hailing from MA, Mike worked as a bartender and GM for an Italian restaurant before moving to Charleston and joining Al Di La. Which explains his deep passion for Italian wine and being affectionately known as a hand talker. 🍷 We’ve been lucky to have him part of the team for 3 years now. 

Favorite part of The Establishment? “The people, there are people here that I genuinely consider family .” 🖤

Favorite dish? “The Whole Fish, hands down.” (we’re starting to notice a pattern here…). “Second, any type of #crudo Chef puts on the menu.”

Advice to any new patrons at The Establishment? “The intent of dining with us is to have an experience. Our guests have a passion for food and trying dishes outside of the box.

And try the wine. Our wine list gives you the opportunity to try something that not a lot of places around here have.“
