Tavern & Table today announced some changes in ownership and the promotion of Denis Crutchfield (right) to Executive Chef of the Shem Creek restaurant.
Chef Crutchfield came to Tavern & Table in 2020 from Tom Colicchio’s Craft LA in Los Angeles, where he was Chef de Cuisine. He served as Sous Chef at Tavern & Table for two years before his promotion to Executive Chef.
Tavern & Table first opened its doors in December of 2014, the dream of its four cofounders Andy Palmer, Jeff Condon, and Dianne and Cecil Crowley. This year, the team transitioned ownership to Palmer and Condon, who both worked together for the Crowleys at Wild Wing Cafe for more than 20 years.

“It really is the evolution of a family business,” Condon said. “We've grown up together in this business and wouldn't have gotten this far if it weren't for the Crowleys bringing us together and leading us all these years.”
With a new Executive Chef, Tavern & Table will offer new menu offerings daily, weekly, and seasonally. At the bar, they plan to expand the bourbon program, barreling and aging their own bourbons. Plus, with its popular view of Shem Creek, the team also plans to utilize the outdoor dock space more frequently – they say oyster roasts, Lowcountry Boils, beer gardens and other events are in the works.
Tavern & Table is open daily at 11 am and 10 am on Sunday for Brunch. You can learn more about the restaurant and check out their menus here.
