I think you can rest assured that the she-crab soup will not disappear from the menu. That’s a standard there, and it sure is delicious!

I was quite pleased with the renovations made in the Regency Room. The décor is still true to the classic charm of the Hotel, but now feels a bit more intimate and inviting. We enjoyed a wonderful four course meal in an uncrowded dining room. A jazz trio preformed with piano, sax, drums, and occasional clarinet or flute. The music was outstanding. Service was impeccable throughout our two hour dinner. Our first course was a delicious she crab soup. I am a bit picky about she crab soup, having eaten this in some of Charleston’s finest restaurants, and it did not disappoint me. The soup had a wonderful flavor and our server topped it with spoonfuls of fresh crab meat and a generous pouring of sherry. A spinach salad followed perfectly dressed and in the right proportion. Our main course was a filet and lobster tail. The filet was perfectly cooked and it almost melted in my mouth. The lobster was the only slight disappointment of the night as it was a bit tough on the exterior, and lacked flavor. Dessert was a final delicious addition to the meal. The chocolate decadence consisted of a chocolate covered strawberry, chocolate dipped cheesecake with fresh raspberry sauce, and to my surprise and delight, a wedge of chocolate covered bacon with sea salt. The sweet and salty combination was perfect.
I will definitely be returning to the Regency Room soon and hope that she crab soup will be a staple on the menu.

Seriously, there are so many places that would rest on their laurels, but the RR/HR is not doing that. They deserve a lot of credit for maintaining their enthusiasm and desire to provide a unique dining experience. That’s very good to see.
