Fodor's Expert Review Anson

$$$ North of Broad American

Cuisine at this fine-dining mainstay where nearly a dozen windows afford picturesque views of the passing horse-drawn carriages is traditional Lowcountry, including shrimp and grits and fried chicken. The softly lit, gilt-trimmed dining room is ideal for romantic occasions, though some locals prefer the more casual scene downstairs.
