Our favorite Summerville steakhouse. It’s located right off the downtown square. We usually pair our meal with a walk around the square and some time sitting by the fountains. They have a small playground outside so it makes for a nice family spot.

Be sure to drive over the famous Ravenel bridge. There is a pier underneath the bridge that you can walk on. You can also walk on the Ravenel Bridge itself- a bucket list item for many. Sunset walks are especially beautiful.
