The Old Village Post House brings the downtown flair of the Maverick restaurant group (the team behind High Cotton and Slightly North of Broad) to charming Pitt Street in Mt. Pleasant’s Old Village. With white beadboard walls and dark pine floors, the dining room in the restored 19th-century general store is cozy and elegant. The tavern room, with its brown leather chairs, is a comfortable spot for casual cocktails and upscale Southern munchies like crispy fried oysters or salt and pepper fried shrimp with smoky blue sauce, candied Crystal, and celery root slaw. Executive Chef Frank Lee and Chef de Cuisine Forrest Parker have created a menu that prepares fresh Southern ingredients with a European sensibility. Crispy duck leg confit is served with mushroom risotto, country ham-onion soubise, and a balsamic reduction. Excellent versions of Lowcountry favorites like shrimp and grits round out the offering of superior food in a relaxed, elegant setting. —Robert Moss
