Retail + Restaurant

Whether you’re eating in or dining out – or even cooking over an open fire on a weekend getaway – retailers and restaurants in Innovista have it covered.

Fill your stomach and your shopping bags
The Vista features the hip chains like Starbucks, but also wi-fi hot spots, independent professional theater productions, numerous art galleries, specialty market Cloud Nine, a Publix grocery store housed in a historic 19th-century printing plant, no-smoking restaurants, the South’s largest children’s museum in EdVenture, and numerous spas, salons, and fitness center for relaxation and exercise.

With more than 20 dining locations, there are options for a romantic evening out or a quick bite. Ristorante Divino’s northern Italian cuisine, Motor Supply Company’s daily fresh menu, the Blue Marlin’s Lowcountry cuisine, and Bull Market Restaurant’s Mediterranean flair are sure to please.

‘Crazy good’ food and fun
For an entertaining, as well as tasty, night on the town, Saki Tumi’s sushi, music and Samarai movies are, as its motto states, “crazy good.” Liberty Tap Room and Mellow Mushroom provide great food and a friendly atmosphere. The younger crowd will enjoy Jillian’s, Wild Hare Sports Café, and Flying Saucer for drinks, sports on wide-screen TVs, and more.

For that oh-so-quick lunch break, try Palmetto Pigs’ low-country style buffet lunch, Five Guys’ award winning burgers, Garden Bistro’s fresh salads and sandwiches, or Carolina Wings’ award-winning ribs and wings.

Fill up your backpack
For the weekend adventurer—or anyone who wants to enjoy the outdoor pleasures of the nearby Congaree River—the Backpacker Quality Gear offers shoes, clothes, tents, and other camping accessories.

For that special gift, Heathcliff Jewelers offers the finest jewelry and watches for men and women. Art lovers will enjoy the McCrory Galleri, which provides culturally diverse exhibits, as well as the Gallery DuPRE, which includes work exclusively from South Carolina’s up-and-coming artists.

Doggone good fashion
Shopaholics who require the most fashionable clothing and accessories can head to Savoy, which provides men’s Italian and American fashions. American Apparel offers clothing for men and women—and even dogs can get the season’s latest fashions to complement their owners.
