"Halls is notoriously difficult to get a reservation for, and not exactly “kid-friendly”, with one exception: Gospel Brunch!. Making a reservation two (yes, two) months in advance, we had an in to enjoy one of the most coveted brunches in town. And it sure lived up to the hype."

"This is the meal you want to have if you’re trying to be a little fancy and sophisticated for once. It’s cooked to perfection, complemented with a side of loaded mashed potatoes or lobster mac and cheese…you can thank me later."

The ‘Pure’ menu features simple dishes with clean flavours, such as the Norwegian ocean trout with blood oranges, while the ‘Lush’ menu boasts French-inspired lavish dishes, like the grilled rack of lamb with mint chimichurri. Exotic and imaginative dishes, such as sea scallops with a chilli-chorizo vinaigrette appear on the ‘Cosmopolitan’ menu, while the classic ‘Southern’ menu is filled with Lowcountry delights, like Roasted Palmetto squab with crackling."

"There’s something urban, international and comfortably familiar about this well-loved hotel restaurant, particularly when host Mickey Bakst makes his warm welcome—he’s remarkable about remembering people. I love the live jazz, upholstered chairs and comfy banquettes. Meanwhile, Alabama-born chef Michelle Weaver’s southern menu is scrumptious."

"Charleston Grill’s dining room is elegant, wood-paneled and quiet; the menu has a range of options to suit any palate, divided into four sections like “Lush” and “Cosmopolitan;” and there’s live jazz every..."

"With three locations across the city (in West Ashley, Downtown Charleston, and Sullivans Island), Hometeam barbecue has become more than just a barbecue staple – it’s a Charleston meat empire. Their addictive smoked wings, their delicious pulled pork nachos, and their signature frozen gamechanger cocktails are just what the doctor ordered after a long day on the beach or out exploring Charleston. We went twice in a single trip, and even after that, my boyfriend, (a buffalo wing connoisseur), said “I’d fly back to Charleston just for more of those wings”."

"If you haven't scarfed down some 'cue at Home Team's West Ashley or Sullivan's Island locations yet, but sure to hit up the restaurant's third home on Williaman St., where a bigger kitchen has led to an expanded menu of tacos, daily and seasonal specials, and creative cocktails."
