The Interior
The interior has a cozy bar, numerous tables, and a beautiful mural showing the colliding of cultures to create the Coterie menu. Artist Amrisa Niranjan created the mural, which is the restaurant’s focal point. Sculpted okra flowers, a notable vegetable used in both Gullah and global recipes, are featured throughout the space.

The dog-friendly patio contains ample seating, a full bar, and lush greenery. Happy hour is offered daily at the bar from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. Happy hour includes $9 cocktails, $9 glasses of wine, and select $6 to $10 menu items like the tasty Pork Belly Bao Buns.
The outdoor and indoor dining area is also transformed into Coterie’s sister company, Idle Hands Coffee House, during the day between 8:00am and 3:00pm Monday through Friday and 8:30am to 3:00pm Saturday and Sunday.
