In the summer of 1999, ten years after founding Front Street Grill, we launched our newest venture, Stillwater. This endeavor is the result of our desire for a venue to showcase our fine food and wines and present them in a casual waterfront setting. In short, we wanted to open a place where we would really like to go.

The restaurant's location on the Historic Beaufort Waterfront offers spectacular views. The interior of Stillwater is warm and casually elegant, enhanced by crisp white linens and fresh flowers.

The restaurant has all ABC permits and serves lunch, dinner and a Sunday brunch. Reservations are highly recommended for dinner; however, walk-in guests are welcome.
Stop in by car or boat!

Tracey’s husband Don Holloway owner of Juice Wine Purveyors, a distributor of fine artesian and boutique wines, keeps us up to date with the latest great wines such as Orin Swift Prisoner, Blackbird and Dunn Vineyards, the restaurant is a perennial winner of the prestigious Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.

In addition to our dedication to quality, we always keep another maxim in mind: Beaufort is a vacation spot. No matter how elegant the meal or dining experience, how crisp the white linens napkins and tablecloths, how spectacular the view, we are determined that the visitors to the restaurant feel comfortable and relaxed while being pampered – not put upon by stuffy waiters and sommeliers. There’s no pretence at Stillwater. We were told that what we were trying to do was too sophisticated, but we stuck by our guns and never changed. That was 18 years ago and business has been great ever since.

Today, Front Street Grill at Stillwater remains a family-run business. “Working with family can have its ups and downs,” they admit,  “but blood is thicker than water.  We have a great time."
