In a city awash with flashy farm-to-table upstarts, Charleston Grill remains the gold standard for an impeccable dining experience. The restaurant helped launch the New Southern culinary movement back in the 1980s, and its cuisine has continued to advance and evolve. Executive Chef Michelle Weaver’s unique four-sectioned menu groups appetizers and entrées by mood: Pure, Lush, Cosmopolitan, and Southern. The flavors, which change seasonally, range from butter-poached lobster with caviar and wild mushrooms (Lush) to a summer vegetable and lemon-butter bean risotto with basil fondue (Pure). The Cosmopolitan section brings globe-trotting notes from France, Italy, and Asia, like the Thai Fish, a new favorite that spices up the offerings. The Southern side of the menu has upscale versions of local classics like the andouille-tinged Frogmore stew and the guinea hen and dumplings with rosemary lemon jus. General Manager Mickey Bakst, Sommelier Rick Rubel, and Executive Pastry Chef Emily Cookson round out one of the best teams in the business, and the live jazz nightly from the Quentin Baxter Ensemble sets the mood for a special evening out. —Robert Moss Dish (Winter 2013)
