While the Queenstown<\/i> name rather intrigued me, with its New Zealand connection, everything I ever heard about the place led me to believe that it was way too seafood<\/i> for me. I do seem to remember it getting rather good reviews though, and thus was a little surprised when I drove by a week or two ago and noticed that it was gone. Judging from their sign, the new operation Mayflower Bistro<\/i> (just given as Mayflower<\/i> in the phonebook) also seems seafood heavy for my tastes.<\/p>\n

Before Queenstown<\/i> this spot was Fatz Cafe<\/i> (\"Our secret sauce? Mayonaise!\") a totally generic or worse place that I have never been able to warm up to despite its SC origins.<\/p>\n

This little strip mall, Colonial Villiage<\/i> across Bush River Road from Dutch Square and on the access road (Colonial Life Boulevard [which used to have a different name, I think]) for I-126 has never really seemed to thrive with about the only constant being the stalwart Melting Pot<\/i> fondue restaurant.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 20 July 2011<\/b>: Added Garfield's<\/i> to the post title based on the comments.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 31 August 2020<\/b>: Update tags, add map icon.<\/p>\n
