With the first flush of spring, chef Matt Russell has put together a lineup celebrating the Lowcountry’s bounty. His menu starts with a salad. Strawberries from Ambrose Family Farm contrast with rich blue cheese, peppery arugula, and tangy pickled onions. Heirloom beets round it out with an earthy sweetness.
