Charleston takes its name from the South Carolina seaport city where hearty, flavorful dishes utilize what's readily available -- lots of seafood and rice with African and Caribbean influences. The menu changes seasonally to take advantage of the freshest ingredients, but two prix fixe meals are offered nightly. If your heart is set on a la carte, Charleston is more than willing to oblige with tasty regional treats. Sample crispy cornmeal oysters with lemon-cayenne mayonnaise or heads-on gulf shrimp served with andouille sausage, tasso ham and creamy grits. Soups are delightful and salads are bountiful, but don't overindulge before the main course. Beef, chicken, pasta, seafood and wild game dishes are stirring forays into the low country. Between courses, partake of a Charleston specialty -- artisan cheeses are served tableside to cleanse the palate and whet the appetite! -- Pete Kerzel
