Need Charleston SC restaurant ideas

Just following up with this thread. We were in Charleston for a wedding for the past few days. The wedding inhibited our ability to do and dine as we pleased but had a few positive experiences. First night I had a proper shrimp and grits at Fleet Landing, but unfortunately it was the only dish to hit our table that I would order again. But the grits dish was a solid A.

Brunch at Husk was fine. The oat cakes could have used another minute on the griddle. I was not impressed with the sausage but the Broadbent bacon was absolutely top tier.

Lunch at Magnolias was fun too. The crab bisque was a little too viscous for me but everything else I tasted was fine. I would happily return.

We arrived at Leon’s but the idea of more fried food was not appealing so we went across the street to Melfi’s for Italian. I would happily welcome a place like this in my neighborhood. The menu hits some of the classics and thus takes no risks at all but they were well executed and we had a nice time in a convivial atmosphere.

We won’t stay in the Lindy Renaissance hotel again. Location could not be better, the staff were all great but the beds were atrocious. Too many good options in Charleston for that mess.

I really do love the city. Had wonderful weather for lots of walking, including a day poking around on Sullivan’s Island. If only I had Victor’s money I’d rent a place there.

Yeah the grand Bohemian is much nicer, if pricey.
