Charleston, SC · Restaurants
Charleston is one of the country's most booked-out hospitality cities. Boutique hotels on King Street, James Beard-winning restaurants on Upper King and Spring Street, plantation venues in Mount Pleasant, and a year-round wedding economy create constant phone pressure. The city's small-restaurant operator culture means many of the most desired tables are at owner-run venues with one host and a phone that rings off the hook. Wedding and event inquiries are a particularly leaky surface — most lose to whichever venue calls back first.
