Stars Restaurant Closes in Charleston | Eater Carolinas

"Opened on October 5, 2012 as one of the most anticipated restaurants in America, this Upper King spot stood out for its Craftsman-style interiors, a large live-fire grill nicknamed the “Grates of Hell,” and chef Nathan Thurston’s menu featuring wood-grilled blue crab soup, deviled eggs, big steaks, and whole Appalachian trout. Over the years it cycled through several chefs but remained an upscale grill anchored in wood-fired cooking. The dining room is now closing to make way for expanded event space as the property pivots toward being a premiere King Street event destination, with the team emphasizing hospitality and unforgettable guest experiences, while the rooftop Satellite Bar will remain open to the public." - Erin Perkins
