"Rex at The Royal is one of those places to check out when you don’t want to be on the wild end of South Street. And when it comes to date night, you’ll get a better dinner-and-a-show experience here than hitting up the TLA a few blocks down. With a menu full of Lowcountry favorites like creamy crab fondue, shrimp and grits, and crawfish pot pie, you’ll get to choose from a lot of tasty dishes that are perfect for any night of the week. And if the date goes well and you want a nightcap, they have a bottle shop inside where you can grab some merlot to go." - candis mclean, alison kessler
