Southern sensibilities meet big-city sophistication, and diners are the lucky beneficiaries at chef Cindy Wolf and partner-husband Tony Foreman’s lovely Charleston. From its gleaming open kitchen comes low country Carolina cooking backed by French fundamentals. Wolf’s daily menu gathers the best of each season into a winsome collection of elegant eats, while Foreman’s commanding wine list offers a chartered tour of world viniculture. Put this together with impeccable service and a richly-hued, Deco-flavored interior to see why the place is second home to city scenesters. The format is a prix-fixe tasting menu featuring three to six courses of small plates, as well as a nightly six-course seasonal dinner for two. How to choose, when the offerings include the downright-addictive shrimp over creamy grits with bits of andouille sausage (a signature), Springfield Farm rabbit terrine with pecans and chèvre, grilled pheasant breast with crispy grit cake, or pork shoulder confit with butterbean risotto? Do ask Foreman to pair wine by the glass with each course; you’ll be treated to some of his latest finds. The dining spaces are intimate and romantic, but if you want a water view, ask for a table in the Palm Room.
