"Laurel, located at 161 Rutledge Avenue, is a sleek new pintxo spot that offers a menu of Spanish and Portuguese fare, including lamb meatballs, grilled octopus, and marinated mussels. The wine list features bottles from Spain and Portugal, and the restaurant has a full bar. Chef Trae Wilson, who has been in the Charleston food and beverage scene since the ‘90s, designed the menu inspired by his travels in Spain and personally renovated the space." - Erin Perkins
