82 Queen
843.723.7591
Nothing compares to the fine dining experience offered by this charming restaurant nestled in Charleston’s historic French Quarter. With a focus on gracious Southern hospitality and fresh local cuisine, 82 Queen has been providing her guests with a uniquely “Charleston” dining experience for almost a quarter of a century. In a town renowned for fine restaurants, 82 Queen has not only kept pace with strong competition, it has gained high marks for its unique approach to the menu of one of the nation’s premiere dining destinations. For three consecutive years, 82 Queen was voted “Best City Restaurant” by the readers of Southern Living magazine; 82 Queen also received Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence for five consecutive years.

Authentic Lowcountry cuisine, coupled with an award-winning wine list will make dining at 82 Queen an incomparable experience. Located at 82 Queen Street.

Blossom
843.722.9200
Perceived as pure elegance in the local, culinary, fine-dining community of Charleston. Enjoy the pleasantries of local Lowcounty seafood with a twist! Combine that dining experience with this restaurant’s eclectic wine portfolio, and even the most critical patron will be delighted. Enjoy the privacy of Blossom’s luscious, vividly green, concealed courtyard. Indulge on Yellow fin Tuna Carpaccio and a glass of “vino”! Do so at their more than ample-sized, tasteful bar located next to their opened-air kitchen. Located downtown at 171 East Bay Street.

Fish
843.722.3474
Housed in a beautifully renovated, 1837 Charleston single-style home in the heart of the city’s “Uptown” district. The results are a harmonious blend of historic charm and detail and modern sophistication. Fish features a downstairs dining room and bar, two upstairs intimate dining rooms and an outside piazza. Fish takes an Eastern, minimalist approach in both menu and design, allowing guests to experience the true flavor of fresh and seasonal seafood. Fish’s goal is to provide the freshest seafood and produce that South Carolina has to offer, and they do this by changing their menus seasonally. Taking an “innovative approach to seasonal seafood,” the menu reflects ingredients that are native to the Lowcountry, prepared with Asian influences. Fish supports the local farmers and fisherman here in South Carolina, and regularly feature locally-caught tuna, grouper, wreckfish and more. Located at 442 King Street.
