Brett McKee is a legend in Charleston's constellation of chefs. His bigger-than-life personality and well-known community generosity are evident throughout Oak Steakhouse. The three-story restaurant itself is the epitome of character and luxury entwined; the service first-rate; and the wine list as decadent as the rest of the place. McKee knows how to appeal to the epicurean in each of us. The Oak's Italian accents come out in a luscious Gorgonzola fondue served with sweet apple slices and shatteringly crisp fried pancetta. Osso buco is a standout, and side dishes served family-style are uniformly rich. The steaks are consistently satisfying and accurately prepared, and are accompanied by a choice of sauces for those who are so inclined. Crème brûlée passes the classic "separates the men from the boys" test---but it takes a passionate eater to take it on after one of McKee's meals.
