Honeysuckle Rose

The latest concept from Ryan and Kelleanne Jones of Free Reign Restaurants, recently open on the Westside of the Charleston peninsula.

The dynamic husband-and-wife team are well known for their previous successes in the greater Charleston area, including Southbound in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood and Community Table and BarPizza in Mount Pleasant.

“We are so excited to introduce Honeysuckle Rose to the community,” said Kelleanne. “We truly envision this space as an opportunity to slow down, be in the moment, and immerse yourselves in the experience.”

Ryan and Kelleanne bring a wealth of food and beverage experience to the new project, priding their Free Reign name on dreaming up unique culinary concepts designed to integrate and compliment their surrounding communities. Before moving to Charleston, they owned a high-end catering company and several restaurants including the former award-winning Mill At 2t in Connecticut.

Southbound, the team’s most recent venture, has made quite the splash in the Charleston restaurant scene, earning a spot on the highly coveted Eater Heat Map for the last six consecutive months.

Honeysuckle Rose will feature a fixed, eight-course tasting menu with wine pairings. The menu will rotate every four weeks, highlighting unique, seasonal ingredients each month. Dark textures, flowers, and candlelight will be the backdrop to an intimate dining room. Curated by Free Reign Restaurants Director of Beverage and Hospitality Operations Shane Meszaros, the concept’s wine menu will rotate in tandem with the food each month.

Honeysuckle Rose is located at 237 Fishburne St. in the space previously occupied by Purlieu – Ryan and Kelleanne’s favorite restaurant before it closed. Dinner will be served Wednesday through Saturday, with two seatings each night at 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. www.honeysucklerosechs.com
