This happens once a week - use the search feature

Or check out carolinas.eater.com and find the Charleston section

Whether or not you have a car is crucial

Are you staying downtown? Mt. Pleasant? Sullivan's, IOP? James Island, West Ashley, John's Island, Folly Beach?

When are you going?

Had a fantastic meal at The Ordinary last time we were there. Have been to numerous of the other places recommended by others and all were good, but The Ordinary was definitely the stand out meal of our last trip.

There are far too many places to just say you're "open to all suggestions". I'm happy to make some recommendations but would need to know any/all of which meal(s) and what kind of food, vibe, location, and budget.

Otherwise, as others have said your best bet is to read through and bump one of the existing threads if you have questions.

Last day of Oyster season is May 15, so if you get lucky you might could get some good local oysters at Bowens Island restaurant on the water. It's a beautiful setting to eat fresh local oysters and alcoholic drinks.

Thoughts on Hanks or the Establishment? Client dinner but small group and not formal or stuffy.

I went to Hanks and really enjoyed it

Straight forward menu of steak and seafood with classic steakhouse service.

We really enjoyed it.

Hanks is good - very seafood heavy and right in middle of downtown

Establishment is further north and newer - very modern vibe but enjoyed the food

Get you a burger over at Heavy's Barburger. Casual, good food, good service.

167 Sushi is one of the best meals I've had in years.

Lewis BBQ was also legit.
