From the moment we arrived at the Inn, we knew that we were in for a great experience. This is a beautiful, historical building, set in the heart of the campus of UNC. The restaurant is decorated...

However, after learning that James Clark, the former executive chef at the Marina Hotel in Myrtle Beach, SC, had moved to the Carolina Crossroads, we had to... More
