Our favorite resturant was Penninsula Grille where our favorite table
service person was Rhonda. She not only chose our wine, but moved us
inside when it started to rain, practically, insisted on moving us. The
food here is an A+++, but the service is an A+++++++. This episode is the
only reason we will return to Charleston. Altough quaint, we were not that
impressed with Charleston. We are New Orleans and Savannah lovers, and
found Charleston to be a New Orleans wantabe. New Orleans wraps its arms
around you the second you arrive. We never felt that in Charleston. Too
Bad. It's a wantabe that couldbe.

I have visited Charleston twice, loved it immensely. I bought candy on my
last trip from a little shop right near the Market. Most wonderful
pralines, but I don't remember the name of the shop. Would love to order
some to be shipped to Indiana in time for Christmas. Anyone know the place
I am talking about. Tour bus to Boone Plantation stops in front of the
candy shop.

I visited Fort Mills, South Carlina in 1993. We went shopping at a mall I
beleive was near or on the state line of the Carolinas. I believe it was
called the Carolina winds, It was a verynice place to shop. I remember
spending hundreds of dollars and getting nice items.Would you possibly be
able to locate this for me and email me. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Sharon Harlan

My husband and I recently spent a few days in Charleston. We were down by

is was the River City Grille, but after a brief internet search, it would
appear that it was the River Watch Grille. Anyway, they have a potato
salad that is WONDERFUL! It's a warm, chunky/mash with cheese, s/cream,
and bacon. Does anyone know of an e-mail address for them so that I can
"beg" them for the recipe? Thanks!, K. Goll, Vancouver, WA

This past May was our 15th trip to the Charleston area. We usually spend a
day or two in Charleston and then head out to the beach (Wild Dunes). Each
visit to Charleston is exciting. We take our own walking tour down Meeting
St and Church Streets. We have stayed at the Meeting St Inn and find it
lovely and very centrally located. One year we took the ghost tour and the
harbor tour. We have taken so many carriage rides that I think we could
conduct our own tours. My favorite area is the homes on Rainbow row.
Restaurants we have enjoyed are: 82 Queen, Blossoms, Bocci's, T-Bonz. Shem
Creek also has many wonderful restaurants. We are already booked for our
vacation next May, 2004 and are planning a side trip to Summerville.

Is it more classical than jazzy? Will there be street vendors and arts?
What's a great place for seafood thats not too pricey? What about the nite
spots?

My sister and I are bringing my mother to Charleston for the first time
Mother's Day 2003 and would like to find the place that would provide us
with affordable rates and kind of close to the Historic District, markets,
etc. I have checked the Charleston website and found a few places to stay
but I am having problems finding things in the Ashley River section. Any
help that you could provide would be wonderful.

Hi there Nelda, I saw your post on the travelogue and thought I'd share
some thoughts with you. I used to live in Charleston and will be going
back there in April. If this is your first visit I know you'll have a
great time. It is hot and humid at that time of year but if you're from
Texas you should be used to it. I am now living in Spokane Wash. and we
just don't get the humidity here. Anyway there are so many things to see
and do. The Charleston Museum is great. Lots of wonderful exhibits. If you
are an art lover, the Gibbes art gallery is awesome. Just walking down by
the battery is a site to see and you could spend days walking and just
soaking up the beautiful homes. The aquarium is wonderful. I could watch
the swimming otters for days! They are so funny. There is a web site
called "Charleston Multimedia Project" and you will just be amazed at all
the beautiful homes to see. There is so much history in Charleston that
you can get overwhelmed, so get a plan and then scope out your itinerary.
The exchange & provost building is neat with lots of pre revolutionary
history. If you like, you can go to the visitors center and get a heritage
pass. You can see 6 sites, the Nat. Russell house, Middleton place
plantation, aiken rhett house, drayton hall plantation, edmondston alston
house and gibbes art museum. These are the ones I recommend because they
are an excellent assortment/overview of Charleston and its history. Check
out Charleston Multimedia Project and also check out Cuisine of
Charleston.com. Excellent information about Chas. restaurants. I hope this
helps and please keep my email as I'd love to know how your visit goes. I
will be there 2nd week of April so I'll keep you posted. Be prepared for a
wonderful time! Sincerely, Susan C.Silva of Spokane Wash.

Does anyone know what happened to the pizza restaurant that was by the
market. It was called Papillion. I loved that place. Also in the spring of
2001 we ate at a place downtown which was down an alley, and had the best
banana pudding and meatloaf. I thought it was an Irish sort of place, but
it was definitely not Tommy Condons. Please let me know if you have any
ideas.

about staying on Folly Beach so we can enjoy the beach everyday yet a

As one who grew up in Charleston, I have been amazed for years that people
stand in long lines to wait for a table at Hyman's Seafood. It's just not
good. If you want a great meal, try Peninsula Grill, Slightly North of
Broad, Boathouse (Isle of Palms location), Carolina's, Cypress, or
McCrady's.

Our family has spent many happy weeks in Charleston over the past eight
years as both of our children, Christine and Eric have graduated from the
College of Charleston. we love the open air market and all of the
interesting southern food and spices. The kids love going to the dunes on
the Island of Palm. I love a quiet retreat we found on Goat Island. You
can only get there by boat. We love sailing in the harbor and chartering
boats there. I think it best to begin thinking about keeping a home there
to return to again and again now that the children have finished school.

January 03, 2003 Jeff and i spent two lovely days in Charleston before
continuing or trip north to visit our children. Wow, were we glad we made
the stop! Our dining experience at Mistral's Restaurant on Market St. was
fabulous, The food was nothing but perfect, but I really want to comment
on the service. Honestly some of the best service we have received in a
restaurant. Our waiter, Kevin, made everything perfect! We were a little
intimidated by the size of the wine list, and he recognized this by asking
if we would like some suggestions. He very non-chalantly asked us our
price range, which we greatly appreciated...rather than simply trying to
sell an expensive bottle. His choice was perfect for the Filet Mignon and
Peppered Steak which Jeff and I had for dinner. While I ordered the fish
soup, Kevin shook his head!! I didn't understand at first. I thought maybe
they had sold the last of it. Jeff quietly told me that maybe i would like
to try the onion soup, and Kevin nodded his head. We were so appreciative
that he would be honest enough to "inform" us if we were making good
choices for our dinner or not. We couldn't help but laugh. Thereafter we
looked up at him for approval while making menu decisions. It was
priceless. I should ad that if you have Kevin as your waiter at Mistral's,
don't expect him to be your "server". When the table next to us tugged on
his shirt, he promptly turned to them and said "Please don't touch me". As
he was describing the deserts to us, that same couple asked him if he
could call a cab for them. He merely turned and glared at them for a
moment, then returned to describing the deserts to us. It was quite the
show, I'm just grateful that Jeff and I behaved ourselves while Kevin
guided us through the night. Thank-you Kevin! We'll be back on our return
home to CA. Carol & Jeff Hilton

A Nov.'02 trip to the Charleston area was our first and, hopefully, will
not be the last. We stayed on Edisto Island and made numerous trips into
Charleston, but loved exploring the Island. We found the "Old Post office"
a fantastic place for dinner with superb seafood and impeccable service.
The locals were helpful in directing us to the plantations, antique stores
(we attended an antique auction at a plantation the day after
Thanksgiving), and sources for excellent seafood and for shelling. The
drive to Beaufort/Hunting Island on Thanksgiving Day resulted in our
eating the holiday meal at the Episcopal Church in Beaufort with other
travelers (from Wisconsin and Florida) as well as local folks of all ages.
It was an incredible experience and is a yearly event. There are so many
historic places to see and so many restaurants to try, we can hardly wait
to return. I do hope this site is updated soon, so that it might be more
helpful to potential visitors.
