If you've only got a few hours and want to experience Charleston, head to 82 Queen. It's right in the heart of the historic district and has a beautiful garden in addition to several private dining rooms.
Luckily the food matches the incredible…More »
Absolutely stunning, and so very Charleston.
My sister had her wedding reception at the Wickliffe House after getting married at St. Luke's right across the street. The location of Wickliffe was a big draw (although it's not in the historic district)…More »
My parents hosted a welcome party here that was catered by Tristan. We had one of the meeting rooms upstairs that was pretty nondescript. We were more excited about the large patio/balcony that would have been the perfect party spot.
Unfortunately the…More »
This was the spot for my sister's rehearsal dinner. We had about 30 people in the private back room, which worked out perfectly.

We found a…More »
Typical touristy place in the heart of the historic district of Charleston.
This place is HUGE, with a really weird seating concept. When you come in, the host downstairs looks at a camera feed and decides where to seat you. Then they send you…More »
I was not impressed with Hominy Grill.
As a Southerner who's stuck in DC for the moment, I relish my trips to the lowcountry where I can eat my most favorite cuisine where it's supposed to be eaten. That being said, I expect a lot out of the few…More »
Yowza. I thought DC mani/pedis were expensive!
My sister and I came here for a little pre-wedding girlie bonding time. My mom had set us up with mani/pedis and we were excited to get some time to catch up, just the two of us. Unfortunately it didn't…More »
