Carolina’s was one of Charleston’s original fine dining restaurants, and Executive Chef Jill Mathias now leads it into its fourth decade of upscale local dining. Fresh local seafood — grouper, porgy, shrimp — are the stars of the ever-evolving bistro-style menu. The Perdita’s Room, with big wood columns, white tablecloths, and booths lined with burgundy velvet, is a throwback to an earlier era, while the front dining room and a large bar area hosts a more fast-paced, contemporary dining style. The Sunday brunch menu, complete with a crab cake benedict, a Hangtown Fry omelet, and signature Bloody Marys, is one of the most intriguing on the Peninsula. —Robert Moss Dish (Winter 2013)
