Where to eat
Charleston has a restaurant for every mood. Start with the category that fits your night, then pick the address.
Special-occasion tables: reservations, jackets, and the kind of service that costs more but rarely disappoints.
Halls Chophouse
Live jazz, tableside service, and a downtown classic. Book well ahead for weekend prime time.
Must order
Dry-aged ribeye or the Sunday gospel brunch.
434 King St, Charleston, SC 29403

Farm-to-table before it was a cliché. The menu changes with what Lowcountry farmers are pulling from the ground.
Must order
Fish stew and the chicken liver pâté.
232 Meeting St, Charleston, SC 29401
Peninsula Grill
Planters Inn courtyard dining. The ultimate celebratory meal in a white-tablecloth setting.

Ultimate Coconut Cake — split it, or don't.
