Description:
DOWNTOWN. This appealing brasserie practically recreates Paris in the Lowcountry. Its warm decor, zinc bar, and even an outdoor terrace speak of Gallic comforts, and the food follows suit beautifully. Traditional – and affordable! – fare includes such classics as steak frites, steamed mussels, duck confit, escargots, and bouillabaisse. A great burger is also a strong draw. Plus, the bar scene is a lively event, as folks gather amiably to indulge in a cocktail, a terrific bottle of wine, or simply to people-watch from the patio. |

Description:
HISTORIC DISTRICT. Owner Sylvia Meier has lovingly made this small yet elegant restaurant into one of the best places to dine on northern Italian cuisine. Do not expect to find an Americanized version of Italian here, as every emphasis has been placed on authenticity. Specialties like risotto, lemon sherbet with Campari, and antipasto Spoleto, mozzarella and prosciutto wrapped in a romaine lettuce leaf and drizzled with olive oil and diced tomatoes, are not to be missed. |
