A tiny, candlelit bistro in a restored Charleston single house, with a menu of just two starters, two mains, and two desserts that changes daily and is handwritten on a card.
The restaurant sits among the quiet historic lanes, so wander the gas-lit side streets after dinner, past hidden gardens and centuries-old houses. It's the loveliest after there is.
The room is small and books out, so reserve well ahead. Then take the whole evening slowly, this is a night to linger over, not to rush.
Take your time along the rail with the lights of the harbor in the distance, it costs nothing and it's the city at its most quietly enchanting.
