We don't really like chains and would prefer someplace with a decent wine by the glass selection. We like just about anything except Indian food. Hoping some locals will come up with some really go suggestions! Sat Nov 07 11:51:01 -0800 2009 1121689 RAGHOUND 1 5164163 Percy & Willie's is right down the road from your hotel. Also, try Redbone Alley which is only a couple of blocks further. If you are there past Monday night try Starfire Grill which is across the street from Redbone Alley. Those are all local restaurants.

It was really good back in the day. A foodie's place before foodie was cool imo. Wed Nov 11 11:46:32 -0800 2009 5163517 1117670 Bluemold 2 5180793 It had something to do with the son/chef. There was some drama in that family but I cannot remember the details. P.A.'s was wonderful! Sat Nov 14 05:12:07 -0800 2009 5173233 1110069 Sensuous 3 5183191 Thanks for the reply. I traveled to Florence on business and would go to PA's a lot. Then it was gone.

Might be a little bit loud, but the interior is made to look like you are sitting in a courtyard and they feature innovative SC cuisine. Sat Nov 14 07:21:13 -0800 2009 5163517 1124467 TimboChef
