One of my favorite restaurants, this place is authentic Italian! All of their pastas are made in house, and pizzas are cooked in a Woodfire oven! The service and the food are both stellar, you won't be disappointed! I am usually a red wine type of gal, but I highly recommend the ATTEMS PINOT GRIGIO
FRIULI DOC RAMATO (Rosato)! it is the old Italian style of Pinot Grigio, which gives it its color, but it's the best white wine I've ever had!  The city does not allow anyone to parallel park on King Street on weekends anymore, but if you just search "parking lot on Reid Street", it will give you GPS directions for parking, and it's maybe a 2 minute walk to the restaurant.

High Cotton Charleston Restaurant
199 E Bay StOpened by Mike Lata and Adam Nemirow in 2003, FIG remains a top Charleston destination for food-obsessed locals and visitors with a taste for refinement. Recipient of three James Beard Foundation awards — Best Chef: Southeast Lata in 2009 and current executive chef Jason Stanhope in 2015, and Outstanding Wine Program in 2018 — the kitchen at FIG sources seasonal produce and puts out honest, straightforward food that gives a nod to the Lowcountry. Inspired dishes like ricotta gnocchi with lamb bolognese and olive oil poached snowy grouper, a thoughtful and innovative beverage program, and service that oozes with care adds up to nothing short of perfection. The restaurant's motto (which its name stands for) is simple, but it says it all: Food Is Good.

"Chef Marc Collins draws inspiration from many cuisines around the world to create a menu that is truly unique to Charleston’s fine dining restaurant scene. Drawing inspiration from historic Southern dishes and always highlighting what is local and in season, Chef Collins puts a healthful, distinctive spin on classic Lowcountry dishes. This means there is less butter and cream than typically found on Southern menus. Whole grains are incorporated to dishes and ingredients are used at the peak of flavor. The result is satisfying dishes that retain their bright, bold flavors without the large amounts of fat found in many restaurant dishes. From our Plantation Rice Bread Rolls made in house daily, to the selection of local fresh seafood, to Past"

192 E Bay StThe family-style Jackrabbit Filly describes itself as a “Heritage Driven New Chinese American Restaurant” that serves food in a family-style setting. The restaurant has a Yelp rating of five out of five stars. “Everything is meant to be shared,” the restaurant said on its website. Ordering two more items than the number of guest is recommended, but “nobody will stop you if you want to do the whole shebang.”

Memorial Waterfront Park offers more than just your average park. Located under the grand entryway to the town, at the base of the Ravenel Bridge, this park has plenty of lawn for enjoying family picnics, a nautical-themed playground modeled after the bridge that provides it shade and the boats that pass by in the harbor, and soft-serve ice cream from the River Watch Cafe. The cafe offers beautiful views of Charleston Harbor and a 1,250-foot-long pier where you can sit and swing a while. There is also plenty of parking if you'd like to walk the Ravenel Bridge.
