Listing Directory: General

  • 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.

  • Jack of Cups Saloon

    Follow the scent of rich curries and aromatic chutneys into the tiny bar, then wait with other diners vying for seats at this haven for vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores alike. With sidewalk booths and a sunny courtyard, Jack of Cups’ internationally inspired dishes range wide from curry black bean nachos and a bombolini butterbean burger…

  • Coastal Provisions

    Pick up a pass at the Wild Dunes gate and head to the Boardwalk Inn for a breezy dining spot. This full-service restaurant strikes a balance between upscale American cuisine and its casual no-tie-or-jacket-required beachy setting.

  • élevé

    élevé

    At the Grand Bohemian Hotel’s rooftop restaurant and bar, you’re looking at the stars. Arrive in time for happy hour, sit in the airy dining room, and sample the charcuterie, carpaccio, or a Southern Caesar with its corn-bread croutons and Comte cheese. Or dine on what may be the fanciest shrimp and grits in town.

  • Coda Del Pesce

    Chef Ken Vedrinski named his beachfront restaurant “tail of the fish,” perfect for a spot right on the coast.

  • Estadio

    At this Spring Street Spanish spot, the ambience matches the fare. Lively interpretations of tapas, paellas, and Spanish tortillas make Estadio worthy of repeat visits, as do its sherry and vermouth selections, and an outstanding gin and tonic program. Standing at the communal table, snacking on manchego and olives, drink in hand, is all part…

  • Container Bar

    This North Central bar was cleverly crafted from three shipping containers and hosts a variety of food trucks, with lineups updated daily online. “Happenings” include trivia nights and plenty of televised sports.

  • EVO Pizzeria

    It’s hard to name a “best” pizza joint in town, but there is a best pizza. No one comes close to matching the Pork Trifecta, EVO’s ode to all things porcine. Loaded with ham, bacon, and sausage, it’s the only pie we know of to inspire its own bumper sticker. For vegetarians, the pistachio pesto…
