Fine dining restaurant · Charleston

"Tucked into the original carriage house of the Wentworth Mansion, Circa's white tablecloths, soft lighting, and intimate space makes this hands-down one of the most romantic restaurants in Charleston.Executive Chef Marc Collins has been at the helm of this restaurant for 20 years, and what's impressive about his focus and his work is that he continues to research the region, create new dishes, and approach the seasonal menus with passion. Dining here means luxurious elegance, and guests have the option to choose from both a tasting menu and an a la carte menu. We suggest going the tasting menu option, not only because you will get a lot of varied bites—from grilled cheese with caviar to lobster tail. The meal will be more balanced and yet require less decision making—a luxury in itself." - Stephanie Burt
