Tour the Enchanting Maritime Dining Room at Three Sirens

Erin Perkins is the editor of Eater Carolinas.

The team from renowned wine bar Stems & Skins recently opened seafood restaurant Three Sirens in Park Circle. Co-owners Justin Croxall and Matt Tunstall took over the former YoBo Cantina Fresca building at 1067 East Montague Avenue and gave the place a romantic nautical makeover.

Croxall and Tunstall had always looked at the building (it’s across from the wine bar) and imagined what could go in there, based on what Park Circle needed. “With places like Chubby Fish and 167 Raw being so popular downtown, we knew there was need for seafood up here. We knew we wanted something a little more elevated for the neighborhood, and that’s how we came up with this concept.”

He also said that the small dining room led to to an intimate, more relaxed feeling for the restaurant. Up front there’s a few windows for natural light, but as customers move into the room, the space gets a bit more mystical with glittering star wallpaper, whimsical sconces, and twinkling lights overhead — it’s practically begging to be a date night spot.

In the kitchen, former Stems & Skins chef Julian Lippe puts out dishes like grilled Spanish octopus, charbroiled oysters with Calabrian chilis, and a potato rosti with creme fraiche and smoked trout roe. Folks from the neighborhood are already flocking into try it out.
