Club chairs, dark paneling, and live jazz create a sophisticated home for Bob Waggoner's ground-breaking New South cuisine. This affable and highly talented chef raised the culinary bar in this town, and continues to provide what many think of as its highest gastronomic experience. He accepts only the best possible product, like the organic ingredients in the golden beet salad. His love of the Lowcountry means that there will always be dishes like the "uptown" Frogmore Stew. Desserts are divine creations like praline parfait. The sommelier, Rick Rubel, is stellar.

We had stayed several times at Charleston Place Hotel, where the Charleston Grill is located, but had never dined there. As Fodor's recommended it, we decided to try it. The service and food were exceptional. Everyone was very friendly without being "familiar", just the way it should be. This is not a cheap restaurant, but considering the quality of the food and the level of service, it is an exceptional value. The live music (on a Sunday night) was a nice touch. Don't miss it.
