In Charleston airport waiting on delayed flight back to Houston.
Dinners were Magnolia, Muse, 82 Queen
Lunch/ Brunch. High Cotton, hominy Grill, cru cafe
Bit rainy off and on but for the most part if it rained we were sleeping, or at a resturant inside. Only got caught in real rain once the whole trip which seemed to work out really well
Took a walking tour of the historical district and king street shopping for the wife, strolled the streets quite a bit
Stayed at the Grand Boeheium right near FIG on meeting street. This place recently opened and we got a good rate as got the reservation before it actually opened hut it was a fun, quirky place that we would not hesitate to stay at again, especially at the rates during the high season. The hotel has a wine bar and classes where you make your own wine which the wife loved and made a personal label attached to it. It was her favorite part of the trip outside of the great places to eat. Missed out on Macintosh because of it but honestly glad we did. Talking to another couple at the wine creation class they suggested Muse which might have been the best of all places to eat. All were good just separated by degree
Ranking mine
Muse (baby lamb chops with a glaze that was unbelieveable)
82 Queen (get the she crab soup, best in town and the limonchello marscopone cake was great)
Cru Cafe (grilled salmon with a salad with a great dressing IMO)
Magnolias (best fried chicken breast i have had since Willie Mae's in NOLA) and a good blue crab bisque
Hominy Grill (vegetable plate included grits, sauteed green beans, creamy squash, mac and cheese along with a good butternut squash bisque)
High Cotton (bit unfair to be last and that good, went with the stuffed french toast)
My wife's ranking
Pennisula Grills's 8 layer coconut cake...this was a stop in bite not sit down this time
Cru Cafe (Turkey and Brie sandwich, tomato basil soup and 4 cheese mac and cheese)
Muse (she loved this but is more a soup/sandwich girl...she had the gnoochi which was best she had had before)
82 Queen (tomato pie, great house frieze salad and the bourbon pecan pie...we split out desserts)
Hominy Grill (vegetable plate as well with deep fried grits, mac and cheese)
Magnolias....didnt eat much but tomato soup but stole some of my chicken and sauteed collard greens and love it as she wasnt feeling well
High cotton ....i think she was more mad at herself because she just got a basic breakfast plate and it was uninspiring
Missed out on ft Sumter because of potential weather issues but will go back again in a heart beat
