Good Morning drinks/Breakfast
I have to say disclaimer we have never actually Brunched downtown. We are either peacing out early on Sunday and doing a quick grab n go from Caviar & Bananas, The Daily, or The Rise or we travel during the week. Living that restaurant owning life gives us weird times to travel. We do however have our faaaaave Morning spots!
Miller’s All Day. And by all day they mean all week bc I'm going every morning. I’m also gaining 10 pounds from the amount of biscuits I can take down. Also cutestttt place inside.
Just to mention.. if you are going for bloodys, SC can’t serve until 10am! I get a fritata with this amazing whipped feta on top and their famous homemade biscuit on the side.
If you are looking to grab a bomb coffee head to The Rise which is downstairs at the Restoration. They also make their own English Muffin breakfast sandwich!
Lunch/Dinner/Snacking
Our all time fave fave is 167 Raw. Typically our lunch/snack/whatever time of day it is spot. Best restaurant if you love seafood & a killer atmosphere. They moved from the tiny location which will be opening soon as their sushi spot to a larger location on King. What’s cool is they have a bar area inside with seating and outside covered as well. A very cool inside outside vibe. Also their food is phenomenal no matter what you get.
Going into dining detail here..
:• Oyster shooters (it’s a homemade green juice with of course alcohol) and the oyster on the side. Best Damn Thing Ever.
• Oysters!! Because duhhh
• Lobster Roll (We always order one to split, it comes with chips but you can do salads if you know to ask!) They split it for you
!• Crispy Oysters. I could lick the plate and order again. That good.
• If they are running a dessert special you better freakin order it! They had a Mexican chocolate pudding the day we went and it was so incredible.
Basic Kitchen. This spot is super cool because they make everything healthy for you taste out of this world. We tried corn on the cob bbq ribs, sounds bizarre (no meat) and Nick and I were both trying to recreate this so we could make back home. Their cauliflower wings and cashew dipping sauce.. it’s all so good and anyone will love this isn’t a vegan only spot. Also amazing cocktails!!
Amazing drinks (shotty pic sorry taken from my boomerang but had to share!) & just so cute inside.
The Darling. Top name to go too, and if I had to choose I’d go with 167 Raw, butttt for a change of scenery and still super yummy oysters and oysters shooters this is a great go too. I know so many that this is their spot! Great happy hour spot as well so grab snacks and then head to dinner at another spot!
Dinner Spots
We’ve been to the classics, Magnolia’s for example is good but the food is hearty and there is only so much fried green tomatoes I can eat. Our fave dinner spot is Indaco which is Italian! Obsessed with this place is more my feel. The bread, the black ink pasta with crab, even the boys devoured their pasta! Also their espresso martinis are everything. Cool happenin' atmosphere.
(Crazy picture, once again from a boomerang haha but had to share!)
One other Italian spot we love is Trattoria Lucca. I know you don’t think Italian when you think Charleston but we always make one night Italian bc it’s so good there! This place is a little off the beaten path but we walked there from the Dewberry one trip! It’s a very intimate setting over Indaco, in a little house, and the food is so so good.
CO. This is not typical Charleston food either and is actually in a few other locations but if you are feeling Asian fusion it is a drool fest. The blackberry smash to drink, kiddos get the pho, and share a bunch of apps and have curry with noodles for dinner!
The Watch. This is the hotel restaurant to The Restoration. It's cool because the food and drinks are delicious - hello adult juice boxes and their truffle fries.... but also they have a gorgeous roof top that looks over downtown and great views of the bridge! 
Other dinner spots that I've heard are musts..
((sorry we stick to our faves because are typically there for one or two nights))
The Ordinary - I've been for dessert and its actually sister to Fig which I've heard excellent things! Leon Oyster Bar, Poogans Porch, Halls Chop House, Magnolias, Coast, and 82 Queen.
Cocktails Scene
The Watch. Adult juice boxes and yummy seasonal cocktails on the rooftop of the Restoration Hotel. I love that they change up the drinks by season and they have the prettiest views!
Citrus Club. This place is cool because it's on the rooftop of the gorgeous Dewberry Hotel. Even in the cooler temp weather it's a fun place to go and the view of Charleston is stunning.
Flat Lux. This is the roof top of Hotel Bennett. Stunning decor and that high end feel.
Vendue Rooftop. This is a cool more chill rooftop right by the water! Definitely some fun times have been spent here!
When you are heading home..
I highly suggest grabbing a coffee from The Daily.
This is a cute quick grab breakfast place right before the bridge North on King. Such a cool area and great food you can eat there or grab to go. 100% try their whipped feta toast with a slow scramble!
