WV Gourmet

As is their wont, Fork You brings us a delightfully detailed writeup of Charleston’s revamped Vandalia Grille.

“This place is a home run. Skip corporate, over-marketed, unimaginative chains at South Ridge and head downtown for a unique meal in a comfortable setting, you won’t be disappointed.”

To cut a long, detailed, and packed-with-excellent-photos review criminally short, they loved it. So did Chris, when he checked it out last week, although I think he’d disagree (as is his wont) with their favorable view of the decor. Those sweet potato fries and blackened scallops sound unmissable.

Yum. That Aloha burger looks like a real winner.

Since our first visit we have been three more times and have enjoyed it every time. The food is great. The service is great. The beer selection (which didn’t include many brands during our first visit) has been expanded to include more quality beers. My favorite is Blue Moon.
