the post office is an institution... excellent place to eat.

the article in saveur was about saigon on high point rd. excellent restaurant and entertaining staff. especially duckie(owner) who sings his way through the night

aw hymans the busiest freakin restaurant in charleston. good choice. Also try gilligans near johns island-kiawah(IF ITS STILL OPEN AS GILLIGANS) BEST damn HUSH PUPPIES EVER

I HAVE TO AGREE. SOFIA IS FRENCH INFLUENCED BUT JQPUBLIC CONSIDERS IT THE FRENCH RESTAURANT. WHY BISTRO IM NOT SURE I HAVE WORKED THER SINCE SEPT SO I DO NOT KNOW WHY ITWAS CALLED A BISTRO. YES OUR PORTIONS ARE LARGE ETC ETC BUT I DONT THINK WE HAVE THE CASUAL ATMOSPHERE OF THE TRUE DEF OF BISTRO WHO KNOWS? UNFORTUNATELY I THINK BEING IN THE OLD MADISON PARK LOCATION GIVE PEOPLE THE IDEA WE ARE FINE FINE DINING. PEOPLE CONSIDER US THE "DATE, ANNIVERSARY, BIRTHDAY, RESTAURANT. THE MENU PRICE IS REASONABLE FOR THE SERVICE QUALITY AND PORTION SIZE. SOME ITEMS ARE PRICEY BUT WE USE TOP QUALITY INGREDIENTS, SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD(AS MUCH AS IS AVAILABLE IN GBO) ORGANIC PRODUCE(WE GROW ALOT OF OUR OWN) and use hormone free beef as much as possible. The people of gbo semm not to care about their food supply. I hope im not rambling or being to negative but thats how it is here. Our prix fixe menu is an excellent"deal" however most dont take advantage. I personally would like to change the publics view on dining and this is on ehell of a town to tryit in

well my friend I will soon be posting an argument for small town chefs everywhereonce I get my thougts together. Sorry about spelling. Yes I do work at Bistrosofia, I am the sous chef. I will explain more later but sofia I feel is misunderstood. On mosaic-I am pleased to hear you dont think they do serious food. However, (local buzz) they think they do serious food. Did I read somewhere you are going to culinary school soon? Also lok at Bistrosofia.com nice website. I will be posting more later. bye

thanks for the reply. Im a not a fan of Mosaic however. THE menu "read well" but did not seem well executed. I would like to see small cities such as Greensboro, Winston, Wilmington, Roanoke Va etc receive more recognition from the ma jor magazines such as Food and wine, Foods ARts, etc I think several chefs from smaller cities and towns are very creative and should receive some sort of recognition. Tell me what you think? Oh by the way my fav in greensboro is bistrosofia and then Marks on westover.

Greensboro is flooded by chain restaurants. There several great chefs and restaurants how do we get people in the door? how do we steer them away from the chains? I would love to see some get national recognition--Bistro sofia, Marks on westover, Marisol, etc Let me know out there whos familiar with theses places etc.

For breakfast and lunch I would suggest Josephs on meeting St. also G&M fast and french on broad
