KCharlestown + Surrounding Islands, South Carolina

[Mota]

In two weeks my family will be flying out to Kiawah Island, SC for a week-long vacation. As the oldest sibling I've been assigned the task of finding restaurants that aren't touristy, bland, "southern-ish" knock-offs. Two years ago when we first visited the resort we had a wonderful dinner at small French Bistro style restaurant called Mia's, which still brings back food memories to this day. I hoping my fellow E-gulleter's will point us in the right the direction and give some amazing picks.

It's also important that these restaurants are casual & reasonably priced, as there are five people in our family(two of which are teenage girls who probably wouldn't be impressed with restaurants that boast caviar and foie gras on their menu).

Thanks again

Hi,

The Fat Hen on the Maybank Highway is pretty nice.

You mean Charleston, right?

Are you looking for restaurants in Charleston or Kiawah? There are quite a few on Charleston.

We recently came back from two weeks on Seabrook Island. The best restaurant close to both Kiawah & Seabrook is the Rosebank Farm Cafe in the Bohicket Marina. They emphasize locally grown produce & updated Low Country classic dishes. We've been going to Seabrook Island for a number of years now & the quality of Rosebank Farm Cafe hasn't dropped at all. We also liked the Fat Hen. The restaurants at Freshfields Village are pretty much standard American fare, nothing special. And there's a great farmer's market just past the round-about to Kiawah & Seabrook, toward Charleston - Rosebank Farm Market.
