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.

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.
