3 Best Day Trips from Charleston, South Carolina | Condé Nast Traveler

"Large, looming trees almost obscure the sleek façade of this restaurant—but foliage gives way to a bright, contemporary space that, with its low lights and angular interiors, is equally stylish to any city dweller's swanky home. The house special is shrimp n' grits, which seems like a bold move—this is the South, after all—but it really is a best-seller, and for good reason (actually, two: house-made broth and house-cured bacon). Seafood is a major player across the menu, from a silky bowl of crab bisque to freshly shucked oysters off the raw bar. Lest you think there are no surprises left to be had, there's also an entire sushi menu." - Paul Oswell
