Mint Julep Bistro and Lounge120 Sparkleberry Crossing Dr Suite 4, Columbia, SC 29229
Mint Julep is a restaurant which is redefining the traditional dining concept. The menu fuses together the Mediterranean style of "small plate" dining with traditional Southern American ingredients. Our dishes are created by hand using only the finest ingredients available. Although each of our items are created to stand on their own...our menu concept allows each guest the opportunity to combine certain items for a singular dining experience or to share with friends or family. The idea is to put the customer in control of what they want to eat, how they would like to combine it and how much they want to pay, all while keeping the prices remarkably affordable. Mint Julep’s goal is to offer our customers a unique experience that while new in its approach is familiar in its comfort.

When you arrive to the Mill Pond Steakhouse in Boykin, SC you take a step back in time. The restaurant is composed of three historic buildings established in the early 19th century. The kitchen was the old Post office, the bar was the old General Store and the main dining room was another General Store relocated to its present location.
