Listing Directory: General

  • Meeting at Market

    Charleston Place may not have previously come to mind when choosing a spot to grab beers, upscale pub snacks, burgers, or even a Cobb salad while watching the game, but that changed with Meeting at Market, a highbrow sports bar overlooking the City Market.

  • Leon’s Fine Poultry & Oyster Shop

    Housed in a former auto shop on Upper King Street, this retro restaurant ranks high as an ideal neighborhood hangout. There’s fried chicken, peel-and-eat shrimp, oyster rolls, and crab Louie salad, but don’t miss the chargrilled oysters—they’re a trademark.

  • Melfi’s

    This classy little Italian restaurant caters to adult diners (i.e, it’s not your children’s pizza place). Melfi’s specializes in simple pasta and creative thin-crusted pies like The Mr. Wally, its vodka-based sauce topped with salami, mushrooms, pickled fresno peppers, and mozz. Love osso bucco? Find your veal shanks here.

  • Glass Onion

    Chef Chris Stewart uses all-natural meats and local seafood and vegetables for his daily-changing Southern menu in this family-friendly neighborhood favorite. The buttermilk-fried South Carolina quail or shrimp po’ boy will have you thinking your meal can’t get much better—until you dig into the bread pudding with whiskey sauce.

  • Husk

    Husk

    Chef Rick Ohlemacher brings reverence for regional purveyors to his role helming this esteemed kitchen. He plays ingredients off each other in dishes like porchetta with sofrito-braised beans and fennel (a heavenly take on Southern pork and beans) and cornmeal-fried catfish with butter bean Hoppin’ John and tomato gravy.  

  • Grace & Grit

    Grace & Grit

    This eatery’s menu is creatively Southern, with its signature dish being the grit flight. For mains, choose from standards like fried chicken, shrimp and grits, or local fish, which can be served atop boiled peanut succotash.

  • Indaco

    Indaco

    It’s all about tradition at this Upper King restaurant. With mains accompanied by wood-fired pizzas, rich pastas, and truffles when in season, Indaco delivers Italian fare in a sleek space plus a craft cocktail program—perfect for happy hour on the side patio.

  • Graze

    Settle in at this eclectic eatery for an assortment of fare. The menu changes periodically, but diners can find a range of dishes, such as calamari, tacos, meatloaf, and steak.

  • Island Provisions

    Island Provisions

    A downtown outpost of the John’s Island OG, this sunny all-day cafe and market beckons customers to grab a breakfast sandwich and coffee to go or linger over, say, mustard and tarragon chicken salad on a croissant and a mango smoothie spiked with ginger and tumeric. Come 3 p.m., the menu shifts to suppertime snacks…

  • Grill 225

    The swanky restaurant in the lobby of the Market Pavilion Hotel serves high-end lobster, chops, and steaks (read: fat filets, thick strips, and 16-ounce rib eyes). The booths are luxurious, the wine list robust, and the service impeccable.
