Cinebarre / Traitor – Mt. Pleasant Restaurant and Movie Review

By David Heiser ⋅ September 13, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s Friday afternoon. You promised your girlfriend you’d take her out to dinner and a movie, but there’s also a party you really want to get to. Let us say dinner takes an hour and a half and you’re going to a two hour movie. Depending on what time your movie starts, that could take [...]

Fiery Ron’s Home Team BBQ – West Ashley Restaurant Review

By David Heiser ⋅ September 6, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

It seems strange to be writing another review about a restaurant housed in a renovated gas station, but, if the food coming out of all former gas stations is this good, I may just have to make a habit out of it. Fiery Ron’s Home Team BBQ opened in the space formerly occupied by Bunch’s [...]

Richard Blais dinner at McCrady’s – Notes

By David Heiser ⋅ September 1, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Jealous, Charleston? I just did a McCrady’s review and this dinner had so many courses that I can’t even begin to write a full review. A couple quick comments though: Top 5 dishes of the night (in no particular order): Hamachi Sashimi + Crispy Sweetbreads + Smoked Mayonnaise – The hamachi was some of the [...]

Fuel – Charleston Restaurant Review

By David Heiser ⋅ September 1, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Students moving back into Cannonborough or Radcliffeborough, the areas just north of campus, after a summer away from Charleston may have noticed they have a new neighbor occupying the corner of Cannon and Rutledge. Opening about a month after exams, Fuel is a self described “Caribbean cantina” making its home in a renovated former gas [...]

Miyabi Kyoto – West Ashley Restaurant Review

By David Heiser ⋅ June 5, 2008 ⋅ 3 comments

Everybody loves hibachi restaurants. There really isn’t much to not like. Shrimp, chicken, steak, fried rice, and sauteed vegetables. Simple, straightforward, fairly difficult to screw up, and with a little entertainment to boot. The only downside to the Japanese steakhouse industry is that, because they’ve found a formula that pleases the masses, it has eliminated [...]

El Bohio – James Island Restaurant Review

By David Heiser ⋅ May 18, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

I’ve known about El Bohio for a while. I initially read about it a few months ago on the always excellent Rotten Oysters blog, but it was running in about 10th place in my list of places I wanted to try. It moved to the front of my list a few days ago when I [...]

The Charleston City Paper’s most recent dining guide claims that “Everybody loves Manny’s,” but I can attest that at there are at least four of us who don’t. Friday night, three of my friends and I were looking for a place that specialized in cheap, casual, man food. I had heard several positive opinions on [...]
