Beet salad at FIG Charleston

Tomato, goat cheese, and pine nut salad

No point in burying the lede here.  I can tell you about FIG Charleston in three words: Eat here now.  Forget about the price --- yes, it's pricy --- or that you need to make reservations at least a week in advance for even a Wednesday night.  Go there.  Eat there.  And believe in what FIG stands for: Food is Good.
