been a LONG time, but the shrimp & grits can't be beat at the place famous for signed plates on the wall, but I can't recall the name

Hall's on King St. Best food you will eat in the city and the service is incredible.

Spent 2 days there in October. Peninsula Grill in the Planters Inn is very good. Also ate at Circa 1886 which was very good as well.
Stayed at Meeting Street Inn. Great location. Old property but rooms were nice.

The Vendue.
Very nice hotel in a perfect location within easy walking distance to most places you would wand to go, including many excellent restaurants. They have two nice bars including one on the rooftop.
Favorite restaurants include FIG, SNOB(Slightly North of Broad), and the Peninsula Grill.

167 Raw
The wife and I waiting for an hour and half to get a seat in this tiny place and then had to share a communal table with a very snooty couple. Don't really get the attraction of this place based on its size and wait time, espcially if you're eating raw seafood. Raw seafood is raw seafood. I enjoyed Pearlz much more than 167 Raw.
I would also highly recommend Husk. Our meal there was fabulous.

We like the Francis Marion Hotel and find it to be a good value. We're in NC, so not too far away, and a couple times a year we'll grab a deal we see for this hotel on Travelzoo or Priceline and head down there for the weekend.

A block or so away from 4 Corners is The Mills House. Beautiful old hotel with a gorgeous restaurant inside - The Barbados Room. Across the street from that are Poogan's Porch, Husk and 82 Queen, which are local favorites. I've never visited Husk, but the other two are right up there with the other places you've been pointed toward.
Up by Marion Square and The Francis Marion (already mentioned and a great choice as well) is 39 Rue de Jean. Really fun atmosphere and a great bar, and hands down the best French place in the city. It and Hall's are my favorite downtown restaurants.
Mt. Pleasant, right over the bridge, has some good fried seafood, cold beer type places. Red's or Vickery's on Shem Creek are pretty fun places, especially for brunch.

We stayed at Hotel Bella Grace. It's a Marriott property. Got the suite upgrade for the stay. Getting ready to leave, United canceled our flight home. They let us stay an extra night without using a suite night certificate and charged minimal points. Delaney Oyster house is located in the hotel. The bartender there was absolutely one of the best. Give him a flavor profile and he'd just create drinks.

Favorite hotel is the Market Pavilion Hotel on Bay Street.

I've stayed at Charleston Place-Belmond several times. Nice place in a great location.

quote:I have stayed there too. It is a nice hotel on the campus of the College of Charleston. The reason I recommended the Vendue over it was because the Vendue is much closer to where all the action is whereas the FM is a few blocks off the beaten path. But we liked it just fine.
Francis Marion Hotel

Second this. Easily in my top 5 for food, top all time for service.
Vendue is a popular hotel, but check out Luxury Simplified Retreats on AirBnB and see if they have anything available. We had a great experience going that route. They have some options right around the corner from Vendue
Food that others haven’t mentioned:
I remember Paw Paw having a banging pork chop and Mac and cheese. Might be a good lunch option if your night bookings are full.
Virginia’s on King has a good brunch
Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit is good for an on the go breakfast
Honestly, the food options in that town are so abundant that you’re going to have trouble picking. I could go back for a week just to try all the restaurants I didn’t get to the first time.

Unless something has changed drastically, "82 Queen" definitely ought to be on the list for lunch!
