Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Folly Beach

"Located in a historic building on Queen Street in downtown Charleston, Husk was conceived by James Beard Award-winning Chef Sean Brock, who opened the restaurant to showcase Southern food created with locally sourced ingredients. The menu is updated twice daily and showcases creative dishes such as Cornmeal Dusted Catfish with sweet corn, peas, smoked tomato and charred squash. While the food is modern in style and innovation, the décor echoes the historic building’s heritage, with rustic walls and a large chalkboard listing the delectable daily specials."

"Husk is the latest establishment from James Beard Award-winning Chef Sean Brock, and it’s certainly no secret – the place is packed and everyone recommends you go there. And you should – the cal their dishes “new lowcountry” and really push tastes to a new level."

"Pastry chef Katy Keefe keeps it classic at McCrady's Tavern. Now that the weather is crisp, it's time to cozy up in a booth with a slice of Lady Baltimore cake or a rum caramel chocolate soufflé."

"FIG’s dining room is welcoming and unpretentious, keeping the focus squarely on the food and drinks (and the latter is no slouch—FIG's wine program was named most outstanding in the country in 2018 by the James Beard Foundation). The menus are chef Jason Stanhope's daily improvisations, based on the finest ingredients from local farmers and fishermen: rendered bone marrow salsa verde deepens the flavor profile of freshly caught fish, while the veggie plate highlights what's growing this season. End with a Nardini amaro—one of the many fine digestivos on an extensive list."

"Despite its relatively small size, Charleston is blessed with an abundance of critically praised, seasonally obsessed, farm-to-table restaurants. If you're a locavore Charlestonian who's meeting foodie friends for dinner and drinks—or you have some kind of grudge match with local hero Sean Brock—then FIG, aka Food Is Good, is probably where you're headed. FIG occupies a modern, spacious room (across the street from old-school Jestine's; see below), where the weekend bar scene is as lively as the kitchen."

"This cafe & bakery is all about fresh ingredients and made from scratch foods. The modern location offers indoor and outdoor seating where you can relax and enjoy an incredible meal or baked goods. Their menu changes often based on the local ingredients they can source but consistent favorites are their sandwiches and cinnamon rolls."

"The name of this restaurant is a bit contradictory to the vegan lifestyle. However, it has a number of delicious vegan-friendly items. Located on Upper King in downtown, this Charleston restaurant is the second branch of this brand."

"Healthy and light but always satisfying, this local favorite has grown into new digs and expanded its lunch and dinner menus. The seasonal menu...Read More"

"Riley Waterfront Park, located on the east of the Charleston peninsula a little beyond the end of Broad Street, is a more recent addition to the city’s downtown park space. Originally known simply as Waterfront Park, it was later renamed in honor of former Mayor of Charleston Joseph P Riley, Jr. It is most notable as the site of Charleston’s Pineapple Fountain (the pineapple is the symbol of hospitality) but is also an ideal spot for a picnic or a rest while sightseeing, providing a shaded place to sit alongside the river."

"Joe Riley Waterfront Park is a captivating eight-acre park which has received the 2007 Landmark Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects and the National Trust for Historic Preservation."
