8. FIG

We had eaten at a few other restaurants in Charleston and then we found Fig. I had been walking, we had a reservation for McCrady's. I found Fig's bar on my walk and decided to have a martini. I had a seat at the bar and was kindly taken care of with a delicious Hendricks martini up with a twist of lemon. Asked if I'd like to look at the menu, I said yes and called my companion. We cancelled our McCrady's appointment. We had a delicious meal sitting at the bar. Service was great and we met people on both sides of us (all of us travelers)... good conversation, great, interesting plates, good wine, good service... and then what made it even better... this place is located on the back of the building where we stayed... a dog friendly hotel called the Indigo Inn... which was also terrific with a fantastic "hunt" style breakfast, which was good coffee and just made biscuits, cheese and ham... very nice!
