Mouths around town have been salivating for the start of Charleston Restaurant Week, that special time of year when restaurants throughout the Holy City offer meals at discounted prices — $20 or $30 for a three-course menu. For $20, Fish is offering curry crab soup, Red Porgy, and goat cheese cheesecake with warm pecan honey. Or splurge on a $30 meal; Tristan has steak tartar, hickory smoked Carolina shrimp, and peanut butter-dusted banana fritters with bacon caramel, among other options. And there’s a huge list of other restaurants you can try, from 82 Queen to Zeus Grill and Seafood, at charlestonrestaurantweek.com. Make your reservations now. It’s not often that you can get a full meal at a place like Circa 1886 or the Ocean Room at the Sanctuary on Kiawah for only $30 a person, so you should take advantage while you can. The week starts Jan. 14 and ends Jan. 22. - Susan Cohen
