Restaurants

  1. Nathan Thurston and his fire-breathing grill dazzle at Stars

    Friday night, with a perfectly seared steak in front of me, a whole lobster in front of my girlfriend, the smell of smoke from the wood-fired grill wafting through the air, the buzz of conversation and laughter of the bar crowd vibrating around, and a white jacket-clad waitress promptly refilling my glass, I thought to myself, "Wow, this is a big night out." And big seems to be the operative word when it comes to Stars Rooftop Bar and Grill Room, a big new addition to Upper King Street.

  2. The Lot embraces the perilous local food movement on James Island

    The press release announcing the new restaurant declared the Lot was bringing "farm-to-table cuisine" to the Pour House's live-music bar setting and that they had "consciously joined the local food and farmer movement."

  3. From wood-fire grills to the Ordinary, it was a big year in food

    They closed the deal on the building a year ago, and last week Mike Lata and Adam Nemirow opened the Ordinary oyster hall. We spent the year getting details in bits and pieces, and Charleston is finally getting a taste. The first week of business has been a good one for the guys behind FIG, and we expect it will only get better as the tourists discover the joys of Upper King Street.

  4. Exotic Vietnamese fare on its way to pizza and taco status in Mt. P

    "Let me help," the gentleman said to us as we scanned the one-page menu at Mì Xào. "Get the beef soup. It's un-be-lievable. And put in a little of that brown sauce, and the red one if you like heat," he added, gesturing at the bottles of hoisin and sriracha on our table.
