Update...
The first night we had drinks and shared brie with lingonberries and four of the largest shrimp I've seen. Then we went to Magnolia's Grill where Sue had a poached pear salad and crab bisque. I had their world famous ham chowder and a blue crab cake (sadly they did not have Patricia Green Pinot Noir this time). We then headed over to McCradys for dessert. Well, I had Meyer Lemon Curd and great coffee. Sue had a glass of port. McCradys is a beautiful place that, 224 years ago was a private home.
The second night we hit Pearlz for some of the best oysters either of us has ever had. We started off sharing a dozen then ordered another dozen. These were shucked right in front of us. We made it for happy hour and a dozen oysters were $6.95.
Then headed over to LaFourchette for dinner. We dined on French fries fried in duck fat. I ordered the fries as an appetizer and then the cassoulet for my entree. Sue ordered a hanger steak salad which came with more fries. After eating from the huge basket of fries we could hardly touch the entrees, but the cassoulet was delicious. We somehow managed to save room for profiteroles filled with vanilla ice cream and drenched in warm chocolate. Hey! They were small.
Last night we went to SNOB (Slightly North Of Broad). Sue had grilled salmon with spinach and mushroom crepe and I had the Charcuterie Plate which was an assortment of house made pâtés,
mousses, sausage & rillettes, served with a small salad. No dessert!
We then spent $16 to go on a ghost tour through some cemeteries...we wanted our $16 back! It was just silly with no history of Charleston. However, it was a two hour walk through which we badly needed. The carriage rides closed early that day.
Thanks for all the recommendations.
