Husk transforms the essence of Southern food. The kitchen reinterprets the bounty of its surroundings, exploring an agricultural-driven cuisine. Be sure to get reservations, they book up months in advance.

located inside an old gas station, but serves really good Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Malay food. Also, they have the word “biscuit” in their name, but are one of the few places in Charleston that don’t actually serve biscuits.

when you want to turn a casual meal of oysters and shrimp into an event, head to The Ordinary on King St. This 1920’s bank-turned-restaurant serves a wide range of seafood dishes, but the main reason to come here is for the shellfish towers, which you can get in one, two, or three layers. Order a drink and a tower, along with a few shared plates like the crispy oyster sliders and snapper ceviche. Keep in mind, The Ordinary is open Wed-Sun for dinner only.

The Park Circle neighborhood of North Charleston, less than 15 minutes from the peninsula, is quickly becoming a food destination and Jackrabbit Filly is one of the reasons why. Chinese American dishes are the focus here. Everything here is always best shared :))

Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit is a favorite grab-and-go spot that’s impossible not to like. Jump in line to get a few of the namesake hot little biscuits as a morning snack and the perfect way to sample all the flavors - from the savory country ham to sweeter options like the blackberry biscuit. For a larger breakfast, the biscuit sandwiches can’t be beat, especially the sausage, egg, and pimento cheese biscuit.

fine dining in the center of downtown. After you finish dinner and take a walk down to the waterfront, head to Peninsula Grill inside the Planters Inn hotel for dessert. While it’s also a very popular dinner spot, we recommend avoiding the packed dining room and just ordering a slice of their Ultimate Coconut Cake on the cobblestone patio instead. Yes, you still have to adhere to their dress code even if you’re just there for a slice of cake, but it’s worth throwing on a blazer or dress to try the most famous dessert in the city.

located o Sullivan's Island but have to mention it here. Frequented by locals, The Obstinate Daughter offers brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 3 pm. The menu is full of southern dishes influenced by French, Italian, and Spanish cuisine. From the Gnocchi alla Romana, served with a fried egg and brie, to their housemade pizza, the menu has so many great options. We highly recommend ordering a couple of items to share.

Romantic fine dining. Tucked within the original carriage house of the Wentworth Mansion, Circa 1886 evokes the romance and old-world charm of historic downtown Charleston. Look beyond its original pine floors and charming architectural details and discover an unexpectedly modern take on the city’s classic Lowcountry cuisine. Circa 1886 regularly ranks among the finest restaurants in downtown Charleston SC.

I have heard it is the best new restaurant in Charleston. If you want the best experience for a special occasion .. reserve a spot at the Chef's table! (I hear it gets warm from the heat of the kitchen) there is also a nice patio.

Great place to park and walk the beautiful neighborhoods or picnic in the park. The most beautiful homes in Charleston line the battery .. where the ladies in the antebellum dresses waited for their sailors to return ..
