DOWNTOWN. When news broke that this Charleston standout was planning to open a Greenville location, the public rejoiced – and for good reason. It's widely known that the folks behind High Cotton know how to impress, and that's just what this multilevel dining room does with its soaring glass walls and cool, contemporary space. Take in the view of the Reedy River as you savor an appetizer of seared Hudson Valley foie gras or jumbo lump crab Oscar. From there, main courses like sliced venison medallions, butternut squash, buttermilk-brined free range chicken or cornbread-crusted flounder should (and do) warrant your undivided attention. Outstanding wine list.

DOWNTOWN. This restaurant developed from Northampton's much-applauded wine shop and is a natural outgrowth of its focus on quality goods. The bright, narrow space is quiet and decidedly unpretentious, so it's a great place for a date or a low-key celebration. The menu boasts dishes like roasted pheasant, ale-braised rabbit, coriander-crusted tuna loin, and twin tournedos with basil pesto duxelles. Each dish is accompanied by suggestions for wine pairings, or you can choose a bottle from the shop and have it served with your meal. Special wine dinners are available regularly. Prixe-fixe: $98 with wine.

LAURENS ROAD. The culinary child of John and Amy Malik, 33 Liberty has earned a glowing reputation for its accomplished New American fare. Premium ingredients and a sure hand result in fantastic courses. Representative dishes include fried quail with sweet potato gratin, braised veal osso bucco, and sauteed fish with a polenta cake. A terrific, affordable wine list, great service, and a chef's table heighten the appeal.

DOWNTOWN. Set in a turn-of-the-century factory, Devereaux's sets a romantic scene, juxtaposing candlelight and white linens with aged brick and wooden beams. The upscale establishment is a family affair, and the time-tested relationships add a certain ease to operations. Great atmosphere is an ideal complement to the excellent food, which includes pancetta-wrapped Atlantic halibut, bourbon brined pork loin, Asian-scented rack of lamb, and Amish chicken breast with heirloom corn polenta. A chef's tasting menu and a lively bar scene add weight to an already strong enterprise.

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.

WEST END. Fine, seasonal cuisine is the hallmark of this quaint dining room, occupying a refurbished storefront in the West End. Its talented kitchen staff use ingredients from regional farms to create breathtaking concoctions that might include garden ratatouille with herbed couscous, or venison with baby Swiss chard, parsnip puree and Cumberland sauce.
