New on Resy: Berkeley’s, Laurel, Chasing Sage, and More

Sit beneath a dark blue umbrella on the patio, perch on one of the plush bar stools, or slide into one of the high-backed wooden booths at this stylish neighborhood restaurant and artisanal mini-market. Berkeley’s casual, accessible fare includes three variations on the chicken cutlet sandwich and a cheesesteak that will make you wonder if you might actually be in Philadelphia.

You’ll want to compete for one of the 24 seats at this radiant little gem (from the owners of the super-popular 167 Raw Oyster Bar), with its sushi-themed and abstract art on the subway tile walls and overhead sea-urchin-look lighting. The sushi and sashimi selection is small and changes daily, and there are izakaya bar snacks, too — most surprisingly, a reinvented cheese toast with bonito flakes and trout roe.

“Farm to table” means so much more when the table and the farm are related. That’s the case in the light-filled rustic-minimalist dining room here, where the vegetable-first menu draws ingredients from an 18th-century family farm in Smoaks, northwest of Charleston. Pro tip: let chefs Walter Edward and Forrest Brunton improvise a multi-course menu for you.

Here’s what you need to know about Chasing Sage before you go.

Longtime Charleston chef Trae Wilson (Grand Rooster, Granville’s Café) has translated his culinary travels on the Iberian Peninsula to this sleekly handsome Spanish and Portuguese place in the Hospital District. Expect marinated white anchovies with housemade potato chips, grilled octopus with pecan romesco, and piri piri chicken — and don’t sleep on the sangria on tap.

Find a full range of classic sushi and sashimi plus a dazzling array of special rolls and hibachi dishes at this warm, attractively furnished establishment. Pro tip: if the weather’s nice, snag a table on the rooftop terrace and enjoy live music to accompany your firecracker roll or hibachi salmon.

Well-known Charleston restaurateur Sermet Aslan, whose Sermet’s Corner was a downtown fixture for 23 years, and chef Casey Crowley serve a mostly Italian menu here, with an occasional twist — think bacon and asparagus with the scallop ravioli — at this Daniel Island destination shaded by ancient live oak trees.

Say hello to this beachy, easygoing Isle of Palms seafood emporium located on the site of the former Binky’s. The New England-style lobster roll is a signature item, but if you love hot chicken, you won’t want to miss the Nashville hot fried oyster po’ boy.

Chef Brannon Florie’s 25-seat bungalow restaurant is the place to go for sushi and seafood-based small plates on Sullivan’s Island. Well-known for his stint at The Granary in Mount Pleasant, Florie delights diners with sushi both traditional and innovative, like a Korean-accented bulgogi beef kimbap roll.

Joining its sister brewery-restaurants in Atlanta, Savannah, and Virginia Beach, Daniel Island’s New Realm is something for beer-lovers to celebrate. There’s live music and music-themed trivia on the oversized patio, a selection of beer food and sandwiches, and just about any style of beer you could imagine from 27 taps.
