This South Carolina Dining Experience Has Been Called One of the Best Restaurants in the U.S.

Charleston has long been known for its food scene among those who love it, but that reputation has picked up steam and the Holy City has begun to emerge in the general travel world as a top food destination. Ranked No. 2 behind New Orleans as the best city for eating in the United States, it's no surprise that Charleston restaurants have been noticed in these lists. One such restaurant, the Charleston Grill, was picked up in the Best Restaurants in the U.S. list by Trip Advisor, coming in at No. 8. Some of its patrons concur, noting in reviews it's a top in the U.S. restaurant for them. When I consider what qualities make a restaurant worthy of any best-of list, this fine dining establishment checks off every box.
