Blue crab, fried oysters and fried green tomatoes are delicious while Slightly North's own Maverick Shrimp with grits bucks tradition just enough. Innovative combination of traditional Low Country and international cuisine. It's an informal, but good quality seafood place on the marina. Elliott's on the Square is in the Francis Marion Hotel at the end of King Street. It's a nice place for lunch, or a late night drink or glass of wine in the cozy little bar next to the restaurant.
Prices are moderate.
Carolina's , nouvelle American food. It's very well known and popular restaurant, but as with most of the restaurants in Charleston, it's a bit pricey. Most restaurant guides include it. It may be over rated. The only exception is Louis' Charleston Grill which is more formal.
