The Vantage South End
The Vantage South End, home to Lending Tree’s new headquarters, also includes a second location of The Good Wurst Co. delicatessen and Dram & Draught whiskey and cocktail bar.
The Yolk debuted in Rock Hill, then moved to the 7th Street Public Market — now called the Market at 7th Street — until it closed at the beginning of Covid. But plans called for it to return all along. “Don’t fret! We’ll be back slangin pancakes and waffles soon!” a message on its Instagram said at the time.
When it opens this spring, the new location will have room for 100 guests inside and outside. It will have an enhanced menu, a coffee program and a full bar. The restaurant is part of the Colliers’ BayHaven Restaurant Group.
But for now, see you at Sunday breakfast!
