DOWNTOWN.   Set on a courtyard just off Main Street, Sassafras occupies a former cigar warehouse, whose aged brick and worn timbers add a textural note that's complemented by original art. Comfortable and upscale, the restaurant specializes in gourmet Southern fare, especially that tinged with Low Country accents. Start with a basket of sweet potato fries or a napoleon of fried green tomatoes and pimiento cheese before giving yourself over to prosciutto-wrapped scallops, shrimp and grits, crab cakes, pecan-crusted rainbow trout, or even fried chicken livers. More standard options include steaks, tuna, grilled salmon, and pork loin. Outdoor dining and a great bar scene heighten the allure.   (© 10Best)

This restaurant was great! No wonder it was in America's 101 Favorite Restaurants--we saw the article in CITY Magazine(NY). Food was outstanding-and lots of it, apps, entrees, desserts. Service was "personal"-made us feel like we belonged there.
