Noshing Nirvana: Sermet's Courtyard gets rave reviews

This column is sponsored by Chase Payne Law Firm and Paisley of Daniel Island.

Crystal Klimavicz of Daniel Island said the best thing she ate all month came from Sermet’s Courtyard on Daniel Island.

Crystal raved about the Prince Edward Island Mussels, “The dish is overflowing with sea-faring, mollusk delights. The broth is heavenly, with just the right amount of oil and herbs to produce a delicious concoction in which to dip your mussels and, of course, the accompanying bread, until the bowl has been wiped clean.”

No matter the price, Crystal noted she would order the mussels… “But it costs about $12,” adding, “The portion size is perfect as an app for two to share, or a meal for one and then touch them if you dare. This appetizer is always on the menu. If they sought to remove it, I may just need to petition that wayward decision. This is a dish that leaves no doubt that I should never cook at home and always go out.”

Crystal was not the only reader raving about Sermets Courtyard. One anonymous reader replied to our online Noshing Nirvana survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7VNR3ZT) that the best food he or she ate all month was the braised beef short ribs with ancho chili-apricot glaze, which the reader described as being served on “moist risotto and the glaze just pools around the meat that is like butter tender.”

When describing price, portion size, and availability on the regular menu, this reader gushed, “It’s a keeper on the menu and more than fair in price and portion. Always consistently perfect and always the only thing to order (for me),” but also noted, “Their other dishes are also wonderful but this is my favorite. Don’t forget the coconut tres leches for dessert!”
