The Nightingale on Church Street at night
18 Church Street, Charleston, South Carolina

A dining room on Church Street, built around a wood grill and a skillet of bread.

Lunch starts at noon and the kitchen stays open until midnight. The terrace, the garden room and the hall all cook from one menu, so a table for two and a table for twelve order from the same card.

Bread goes into the skillet in the afternoon and reaches the table before the first plate. Walk in, or call ahead if you want the terrace on a warm evening.
