Snow Monkeys takes limited reservations, with most of our dining room reserved for walk-ins. Dishes may take a bit longer than is traditionally experienced due to our unique kitchen build and heating elements. We encourage guests to relax, enjoy themselves, and take as much time as they desire at their table. Tucked beneath the moss-draped oaks of Johns Island, Snow Monkeys is a culinary hideaway where French technique meets Japanese soul. Led by Executive Chef Zach Woody, the menu bridges Paris and Kyoto with playful, precision-crafted dishes designed as small plates meant to be shared. Whether you're drawn to the elegance of haute cuisine or the purity of Japanese seasonality, Snow Monkeys invites you to dine without borders in a space as curious and creative as its name.

    Everything I have ever eaten here is a 10/10. The Butter Chicken is one of the most delicious dishes I have ever eaten and seems to get better every time I have it. The cocktails are also amazing. The owner and the servers are all wonderful and the restaurant itself is beautiful. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough.
