3 Best Day Trips from Charleston, South Carolina | Condé Nast Traveler
"There are so many restaurants in the region that coast on familiar, famous seafood dishes , and while that’s fine for a quick and easy choice, it’s so apparent when the stakes are raised even slightly. For instance, the fried platter starter here has familiar shrimp and grouper bites, but also asparagus tempura, subtly expanding horizons via Japanese influences. Seafood features heavily, the spicy calamari coming with a smoked tomato ranch dressing. Entree big hitters include a sophisticated lamb meatloaf with a bacon tomato sauce, and a baked grouper with roasted leeks that raises the bar on local seafood offerings. The artistic leanings and general elegance of the place make it a perennial hub for local sophisticates and visiting gourmets." - Paul Oswell
