Charleston Restaurant Week: Our Experience

Tasty. Scrumptious. Indulgent.
Need I say more?  Restaurant Week is a big hit in Charleston.  Over 120 restaurants participated.  The goal is to get people to come in because of the deal and you offer your 3 of your best appetizers, entrees, and desserts.  The deals are 3 for $20, $30, $40.
Five Loaves Cafe
 Jeff ordered the 3 for $20 - Grilled marinated vegetables with balsamic reduction, Almond crusted salmon with roasted potatoes, asparagus and a lemon caper butter cream, and the Key Lime Cheescake.  I went off the beaten path and ordered the Tri-colored Tortellini.  This combined my two favorites: cheese and pasta covered in a creamy sauce.
All the food was absolutely delicious.  It was even better because we shared dinner time with Davy, Carmen, and Vincent.

Coast Bar & Grill
Our friends recommended Coast to us, so we took advantage of a gift certificate and the week's deals.  Jeff ordered the 3 for $30 - Seafood Gumbo, Surf and Turf-wood grilled sirloin and jalapeno bacon wrapped shrimp.  We stuck with Key Lime Pie for our dessert.  I enjoyed their Grilled Spicy Adobo Shrimp.  This had bacon cheese grits, grilled veggies, and pineapple chile salsa.  It was really great the first time around and we looked forward to it for a leftover dinner the next night!
