Restaurants in Charleston

“FABULOUS smoked brisket/turkey ...sides are southern at its best...Local favorite....can't wait to go back!!!!!”

“Tried and true for 20 years. Absolutely best restaurant in Charleston. Food always incredible, service always perfect.”

“Was not exactly what we were expecting but surprised us with the amazing service and food. Perfectly paced and great portions. Everything was perfectly cooked and presented. It was an experience that I would love to repeate again. Can not recommend this hidden gem enough.”

“We had the most amazing night celebrating our 10th anniversary. The entire team went above and beyond and we left feeling so filled with joy—and OUTSTANDING food. Flavors that we never will forget and memories for a lifetime. WC team, thank you for making our first night in Charleston one we will never forget.”

“Always a fantastic time at Husk. It’s my go to spot when I’m in town. The bar team in the carriage house, Beau and Damian are rockstars and will make sure you are taken care of. Ryan’s warm hospitality is always great. Topped by the fantastic food and drinks! Don’t miss it!”

“The best, freshest seafood! Best fish taco i ever put in my mouth. And love the atmosphere!”

“Phenomenal service from Henry and Jake. The drinks, the atmosphere, the background music were all 10/10 as well. (The Penicillin and Salty Dog). The discrete bill with the miniature clothesline was a nice touch too”

“Leon's is literally in my dreams! My boyfriend and I went there for the first time three years ago. It blew our minds! Affordable, delicious food, and such a fun atmosphere. We returned a couple of times on the same trip. We live in NJ... and set up a trip last year JUST to go to Leons. I am actually scared to post a review because I selfishly want to keep it a secret for my boyfriend and I. Man, if you like chicken and oysters... you cannot go wrong. Damn, now I need to set up another trip. :)”

“OMG, The food, service and overall experience was amazing. Dan and the guys behind the bar made sure it was an excellent experience. Will be going back every year on St. Patrick’s day.🍀”

“Always amazing!! Cooking class with Chef Tyler was so fun!! Zero George is our go to in Charleston!”

“We enjoyed oysters, yellowfin tuna, clam chowder, steak and the fish basket plus some delicious drinks! Service was amazing as well as the entire experience. Highly recommend!”

“We went for lunch, there were so many great choices! We had the Pimento Cheese for an appetizer and it did not disappoint. My friend and I shared the Chicken Tenders and Classic Vegetarian plate full of great southern veggies. Delish! The atmosphere was inviting and the service was great. Definitely highly recommend!”

“Great food; great service”

“DOPE very well thought out menu, top notch ingredients, top to bottom an amazing experience. 10/10 wait in line it's worth it”

“One of my top 5 restaurants in Charleston. Quality and taste is EPIC and getting to chat with Kazu and Chris just makes the experience so much more intimate. Such a fantastic value for the quality and quantity of food - my main recommendation is to keep a running list of the dishes served because at the end of the meal, you get to order more of whatever you liked a la carte. If you ever get the chance for a hard to get reservation here, TAKE IT!!!!”

“Great food awesome atmosphere. Service was awesome. Ate at the bar and it was perfect”

“Probably my most exciting meal of my Charleston trip. Knowing that Chef Stanhope won a James Beard award, my expectations were high here. This meal exceeded all expectations. Superlative. I had the biscuit with pepper jelly, the eggs with anchovy, & the celery salad.”

“Great food and service. Highly recommend.”

“Simply perfection! The oyster selection is otherworldly. The chargrilled oysters the best Ive had in my life. (Florida born an culinary chef.) The peel & eat shrimp so plump and served ice cold I have craved them since I had them. The service was above and beyond. The atmosphere encouraged private chatter but also conversation with next table easily. Friendly and cheerful and above all excellent food served with smiles, suggestions, and ease. I will never visit Charleston again without making sure to dine here. (Do not eat the soup. I actually sent it back to the kitchen. Never have I had to do that. ) Highly recommend again and again for everything else.”

“Edmund’s Original is one of our favorite restaurants in Charleston. It’s the perfect mix of quality and price, with a team that always makes us feel right at home. I can’t speak highly enough of this place. Whenever someone comes to visit from out of town, we bring them to EO so they can get a taste of what we’re fortunate to enjoy regularly. The food is phenomenal - from the fried chicken to the burger to the steak, and everything in between. The beer selection is top notch. In-house developed cocktails are creative, while the classics are on point if that’s more your speed. The chocolate cake and an espresso martini are the perfect touch to finish it all off! Oh, and don’t sleep on the special events they host! When the chef teams up with other chef’s from around the state, they always deliver a unique and delicious experience!”

“Vern’s Restaurant in downtown Charleston truly exceeded our expectations and left us with an unforgettable dining experience. The food was exceptional—quite possibly the best meal we have ever had.”

“easily the best food i had while visiting charleston. i rarely leave restaurant reviews anymore, because i never eat anything out that rivals what i can make at home. i ordered the garlic noodles, the filet o fish bao, and the lamb dumplings — each was spectacular. leaving stuffed & blown away!”

“Me and my daughter had been traveling all night (and looked like we had been). We stopped here because we were starving and needed to kill time until we could check into our hotel. The staff was so friendly to us. I felt like we were under dressed (it was Easter) but no one seemed to judge us for it. As for the food - amazing!!!!! I got the fried artichoke sandwich and it was sooooo good. The fries were also very good. This place has such a good vibe. I wish we were in town longer so we could enjoy it again.”

“My husband and I had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding reception at Circa 1886, and we truly could not have asked for a more wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Their exceptional service and attention to detail made our special evening feel effortless and truly memorable. We felt so well taken care of throughout our entire celebration. The food was absolutely phenomenal! The Angus Filet Mignon and the Peach Lacquered Ashley Farms Chicken Breast were both outstanding. Every bite was delicious, beautifully prepared, and a wonderful reflection of the quality and care that goes into the dining experience at Circa 1886. The elegant atmosphere, exceptional cuisine, and outstanding hospitality created the perfect setting for our intimate wedding reception. It was everything we had hoped for and so much more! A heartfelt thank you to the entire Circa 1886 team for making our wedding reception such a beautiful and unforgettable experience! We will forever cherish the memories made that evening and cannot wait to return for another special occasion. We wholeheartedly recommend Circa 1886 to anyone looking for an extraordinary dining experience. Truly five stars in every way! ❤️”

“Delicious meal & friendly staff”

“Excellent service! The atmosphere was an amazing place to grab a drink and/or eat for the evening while socializing.”

“Came for the cocktails and photos, stayed for the food. Our server Geordi was exceptional. We were intrigued by the appetizers on the menu and decided to forgo a main course. Good choice. Each app we ordered(4) was delicious and beautifully thought out and prepared. A wonderful experience .”

“Our go-to on the island. Spice is the spice of life and Kwei Fei is a culinary bazaar of flavor. Try the lamb dumplings to start. Park your car in the lot, feast at Kwei Fei and then walk a few yards to the Pour House for some great live music for $10. Doesn’t get much better than this on date night, guys! Dine in the patio. It’s lovely!”

“The staff was amazing. It was our anniversary and the GM personally came to our table and poured us a glass of Champaign to celebrate. They also gave us a free dessert. The hostess, wait staff, and GM all took time to wish us a happy anniversary. The food was amazing as well! Overall it was a great dining experience!”

“Food was outstanding. The service was amazing.”

“Best staff and great food ! Awesome vibe!!”

“We only stayed here 1 day but we really enjoyed ourselves. The Staff is excellent and very friendly and honest. We checked out in a hurry and I left my wallet in the room. It was returned to me via express mail after they called me to let me know . I didn't even realize at that point it was missing. Edwin was a great help. Everyone there was super nice. The courtyard is an awesome hang out spot, great drinks.👍👍😁”

“Buenos y sabrosos para disfrutar”

“It is hard to get a five-star review out of me for fast food, unless I think that the restaurant has been unjustly rated, but this location earned every star! I came in about a ¼ to 5... I did a mobile order for two roast beef and cheddar cheeses, no bun. The super nice lady up front told me that the roast beef wasn't ready and it would be about an hour, which I was fine with. I mosied back in an hour later and my order was ready on the to go pick up rack. I had to ask for a fork, which she happily got for me, and she also let me know that the packaged my sauces separate from my meat, just in case I didn't want them! That little extra step meant a lot! She was so nice and helpful. I haven't had Arby's in a couple months, but this one is one of the better ones I've ever been to across this country. It was so good, I had to do another order for a pita less gyro!!! Place is super super clean, and they have TVs playing the weather during this sweltering heat storm we're having! I'm glad I parked here for the night and I'm glad I ordered from here!”

“2 blocks from my chiro practice makes this a sure stop, often! Wonderful tiny spot with incredible offerings. Their matcha is superb and high quality. Must try for all🌞”

“What an amazing place! Went without reservations..told them it was my 70th birthday! Got a great table for 2 in back dining room…food was amazing! Our waiter Brian was the best! When I was disappointed that the didn’t have an apple dessert I wanted he had someone go across the street to get me one with a candle on it! And Josh brought us a glass of champagne… they didn’t know us …just met us.. and treated us to make my night extra special! Try High Cotton you will love it! ( we had the Filet and crab cakes)”

“Had a fish sandwich. Collard greens, slaw, fried oysters, and calamari. Outstanding. Collards off the chart. Service even better. 15/10 recommend.”

“A must visit restaurant in Charleston. We had stellar dishes here and we'd go back in a heartbeat.

The shrimp appetizer was definitively the best I've had in my life. For mains I had the cassava stew with smoked snapper over rice. Absolutely delishious. It tasted just like Sierra Leone palasas.”

“Had brunch today. Food was good. The chicken and waffle was really tasty.”

“The service was impeccable! Suzanne and I had one of the best experiences during our weekend in Charleston. Suzanne loved her Shrimp and Grits, and I opted for a Ribeye Sandwich. I'm glad I did as it was perfect. Suzanne's birthday brunch was enhanced by the live Gospel music lofting through the building. I could go on and on about our brunch it was that much of an experience.”

“Exceptional wine selections in self serve machines and an owner that is extremely knowledgeable about wines throughout the world! Great service and a wonderful positive vibe. I can't wait to go back!”

“absolute best sushi and sashimi I've ever had”

“Super fresh, delicious brunch. Gluten free banana bread exceptional. Friendly staff. Attentive owner. Excellent!!!”

“We LOVED our lunch visit a few weeks ago! great service, excellent food, loads of fun!”

“Not much space to eat, but you can order ahead and take to go. We saw that the line ended around 10:45 on a Friday morning so keep that in mind if you are really wanting to make this stop. Food was really good. My daughter, who’s a barista, felt her drink was a little weak, I agree. My iced coffee was good though. We also shared a banana bread that was to die for. I got a turkey sandwich and she got an avocado toast. My sandwich was so big I could have shared it for sure. Worth our wait in line.”

“We had some excellent pizza and Caesar salad 🙌
We didn’t dine in , but the time we did spend inside was pleasant and filled with helpful n sweet employees”

“Delicious food, great atmosphere and unique drink options. Highly recommend.”

“Had a delicious dinner with out of town friends celebrating a birthday. Spencer was an amazing server. Food was outstanding, drinks were delicious! I love this place!”

“Excellent food and service in warm welcoming environment.”

“This is a MUST!! It’s like a beautiful art museum as soon as you enter, beautiful exhibits!! It’s definitely a VIBE, mature crowd and the food was delicious!”

“Stepped out of our typical places to eat to try Azur and we were really impressed. Food, drinks, and service were all top tier. Pedro and Chris were great bartenders who made sure our experience was absolutely excellent.”

“Having frequently visited Charleston my entire life, I can confidently say the Dewberry is the finest hotel in Charleston. From the amazing room decor, the quaint lobby cocktail bar, to the breathtaking rooftop bar, you have everything you could want in a hotel. Couple that with absolutely delightful and accomodating staff with the utmost Southern hospitality and you will find it is likely one of the best hotels you have ever visited anywhere.”

“My date was sick and couldn't keep our brunch date. Since it was a new decade birthday for me, I went alone and had a wonderful time!! I sat in a bar booth and had fun interacting with the very interesting, knowledgeable server, who also was an adventurous cook at home. I sampled new things and compared dishes with other diners as they were leaving. It is my new favorite restaurant in Charleston! The interior is pretty, cheerful and bright. The oyster / bone marrow was elegant. So many good dishes. Their sister restaurant, The James, is also wonderful! It's not as upscale, but delicious, non-the-less! Somebody is doing something right!!”

“Exactly what Charleston’s been missing. Creative menu- did someone say Burrata? I have tried most things on the menu and truly loved it all, although the Bass is still my #1. So fresh, tender, just melts in your mouth. So much flavor in every bite. Cocktails are innovative and right on point. And don’t sleep on the desserts- Midnight Snack with Fruity Pebbles.. trust me.. 🤤”

“Filipino dishes with a twist. Hands down every dish we had was so good!”

“Delicious and creative menu!”

“The best, freshest seafood! Best fish taco i ever put in my mouth. And love the atmosphere!”

“Best restaurant in Charleston! It really is a must!”

“Great burgers and drinks. Staff is wonderful!”

“I asked my fiancé to find a nice coffee shop that also sells beer in Charleston. After her google search, she asked our friends at The Lucky Luchador and they also recommended your establishment. I was definitely impressed with the atmosphere and selection of beer that was available. I will be coming back soon and will be your ugliest ambassador!!! 😊”

“Super Delicious breakfast in a cozy laid-back Atmosphere!!!”

“I can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! Although we didn’t have a reservation, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our large party and quickly arranged a lovely table for our group. When we asked for recommendations, our waiter suggested a family-style three-course meal, and we couldn’t be happier with his suggestion! Each course was beautifully presented, and simply delicious. From appetizers to desserts, every dish was crafted with care and creativity. It was a wonderful way to experience the menu and share in the joy of great food together. If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and dine here—you won’t regret it! Thank you for an amazing experience; I can’t wait to return!”

“Fabulous. And if you're impatient, the sro.. best service in the house!”

“My wife and I went there for date night last night and our only complaint was we haven't been there sooner. The wait staff was amazing, from the hostesses to the bartenders and finally the server. The food was next level and the focaccia was only describable as sinful. Prices were very reasonable and portions were huge. We will definitely be adding it to our rotation. 10/10.”

“Great meal and awesome waitress”

“My wife and I had dinner with four other friends here. It was outstanding. The food was over the top delicious and paired well with all the wines. Definitely one of the best places for dinner in the Charleston area. Michelin star worthy for sure!”

“I found out about Southbound, through my job. I had to go do some work there, and found the owner and everyone there, super friendly. Most people at restaurants ignore working people while they are there. As my 42nd anniversary was quickly approaching, I decided to give this place a try. Some of my past picks, have not been the best. Southbound cleared EVERY hurdle I have about restaurants. From the moment we approached the restaurant, great service began! While coming thru the gate, the hostess yelled out, "HEY LARRY" and then said, "This must be your beautiful wife"! Like CHEERS, it felt great to go somewhere, "Where everybody knows your name" We were seated and got to view the open fire oven. I had dropped off 42 roses the week before for them to put on our table, for my wife. Tropical storm Debbie, and downtown flooding prevented us from going exactly on our anniversary. I was worried that store bought roses, would not last thru the weeklong delay, Joel assured me everything would be taken care of, and not to worry. As we were seated, there on the table, sat 42 roses. Fresh, and arranged with baby breath flowers included. I was told the young lady with the hostess had arranged them. They were gorgeous! They also had an anniversary card on the table from them, not something I had dropped off. The service was tremendous, the food indescribably outstanding! I have only had steak Tar Tar once before in my life, and was greatly afraid to try it again, as the first time was awful. It was superb! They take great pride in the presentation of their food products. I felt like I was in an episode of Master Chef. We had the steak, as well as the Sea bass, okra, corn, sweet potatoes, and the Caramel cake. Everything absolutely wonderful! This was a truly wonderful and memorable dining experience!! I would give 100 stars, and a Siskel and Ebert two thumbs up! There was only one thing I was disappointed about. No sweet tea! Were In Charleston SC, no sweet tea. Everything else totally made up for it though. The staff even had everyone present sign a menu, wishing us a happy anniversry1 I will most definatly go there again for a special occasion. Thanks to Andrew, Joel, and the entire staff, for making this night special!!”

“Wonderful fine dining - great atmosphere and some of the best food ever.”

“Husk was an absolute highlight of our trip! We stumbled across it after a full day of walking around exploring the area. It was busy when we arrived, so we grabbed drinks and headed upstairs to relax. We got so caught up in the atmosphere that we completely lost track of time—if the staff hadn’t come upstairs to track us down, we would have missed our bar seats entirely!
​By the time we sat down, brunch service had ended and the kitchen was closed until dinner. However, while finishing our drinks, we had a fantastic conversation with the manager about their philosophy, local ingredient sourcing, and menu. That conversation convinced us to grab a drink elsewhere and return for dinner. Am I glad we did!
​When we returned, the bar staff—James and Damian—were top-tier. James was especially outgoing, entertaining, and great at connecting with everyone at the bar. Another couple recommended the burger, and I couldn't resist. It was perfectly seasoned, expertly cooked, and wonderfully balanced—easily a burger I’d go back for anytime. My wife ordered the catfish with grits and okra sauce. I didn't even get a bite because we were both so completely locked in on our own plates, finishing every bite.
​Wonderful service, incredible energy, and fantastic food. We’ll definitely be back the next time we're in town!”

“Ashley Bakery did a phenomenal job on my fiancé’s birthday cake! It was a total hit! She created it exactly the way we discussed with the flavoring requested!! I definitely recommend this bakery!!!”

“Fabulous champagne bar. Great selection of champagne by the glass. You can try things here you can’t normally find by the glass. Fantastic service also.”

“Food was outstanding. The scallops and ribeye were top notch. We also had two of the signature nitrotinies and were also very good and a fun experience. For desert we had the pecan pie and molten chocolate souffle cake. The molten chocolate souffle cake was dry and there was nothing molten about it. Presentation was nice but hard to recommend either.”

“Oak has a great reputation for Charleston's best steaks and sides, atmosphere and service. Dining in the heart of downtown Charleston is the crowning gem! Hands down, Charleston's best!”

“Wow, what a wonderful experience. From the staff greeting at the door with French 75 complimentary cocktail to details throughout the night with the sushi pieces. Would def do this again in a heartbeat. Thanks!”

“We were given a tip on this restaurant. While tough to get a table it was quickly obvious why. We had the rabbit roulade and the steak w wild mushrooms, but just as good as the main courses were the lamb dumpling appetizers. It was also a beautiful, refined atmosphere with top notice service.”

“Hats off to Gaby! She was wonderful! Her energy and huge smile. We’d go back just to see her again! 🫶”

“Thank you for having Charleston Society of Horror yesterday for our monthly meeting! We had a wonderful time. The food was great, service was even better and we will be back.”

“This is our go to place for the very best pizza in the whole of the Metropolitan area! We love you and always tell our customers about you because it is the best pizza in Charleston!”

“😃 great well-crafted coffee drinks with fresh pastries.”

“Stopped here while out shopping on a girls trip and I still think about the GOAT sandwich to this day. It was the best sandwich to ever enter my mouth. To the chef, I love you. Don’t ever stop doing what you do. To the workers, you’re super cool and I appreciate you serving the best sandwich in the universe. This place deserves everything this world has to offer and more. I’ll never forget you, GOAT sandwich. Until we meet again xoxoxoxoxoxo”

“Wonderful crepes. We liked them so much we came back the next day. Much better food than Millers.”

“Nice little neighborhood gem with fresh tasty panini, sandwiches, wraps, etc. Plus their fresh lemonade is delish too”

“My wife and I did the wine blending (and tasting!) class here and it was OUTSTANDING! Eric is such a fantastic host. He is knowledgeable, fun, and has an overall chill vibe. Loved every minute of it. Learned alot, drank alot, and brought 2 amazing bottles of wine home that we blended ourselves. I highly recommend this experience. Thanks Eric!”

“Love sightsee shop!!! The worst part about leaving Charleston was leaving sightsee.”

“My wife and I absolutely love this restaurant and come here as often as we can. It's a wonderful husband-and-wife-owned Italian restaurant, and you can truly feel the passion and care they put into every single dish.

I travel all over Europe and I've eaten at countless Italian restaurants along the way. I can honestly say this is the best pasta in the area—hands down. Every meal is consistently outstanding. The pasta is always cooked perfectly, the sauces are rich and flavorful, and every dish is made with care. We've never had a meal here that disappointed us.

The service is just as exceptional as the food. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making you feel like family every time you walk through the door. It's the kind of place that genuinely appreciates its customers, and that shows in every interaction.

I honestly don't understand how anyone could leave anything less than a five-star review. This restaurant consistently delivers amazing food, outstanding service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. If you're looking for authentic Italian food made by people who truly care about what they do, this is the place. My wife and I will continue coming back again and again, and we recommend it to everyone we know.”

“Big Shout Out to Tina our server today at Metro Diner ! She was Wonderful! She came right over with a beautiful smile and took our beverage order. We told her we knew what we wanted. She had no problem taking our food order. She even made a suggestion to my husband that saved him a few cents. She was a ray of Sunshine. She was very attentive. She checked on us several times. The food is great! The staff is great! Their cooks know what they are doing!! You can aee they all work as a team ! We have never had a bad meal there!!”

“Cute little coffee and cheese shop. They offer a lot of imported goods, including a small selection of tin fish. I got the honey whipped espresso and it was delicious.”

“Amazing food! Great environment!”

“Since moving to CHS 4 years ago, not one place has been frequented like brown dog. Whether it’s a post church lunch, a meal with a new friend, or a quick bite to accompany a downtown expedition, brown dog never disappoints. I am a creature of habit and order the Cardi. B Crunch every time, but my friends have worked their way through the whole menu without coming across a single dish they didn’t love. Good vibes at the brown dog.”

“Unique cocktails; friendly knowledgeable waitstaff”

“Wife and I had Breakfast and Dinner at the Saffron Restaurant. The food and atmosphere were great. Dinner was on a Tuesday evening and So we were invited to play the Trivia Game. We one 3rd out of 3 teams. Oh well was fun anyway. If your in the area this is a great chaise. We were staying at the Hilton Vacations so this was very close.”

“I always looked forward to seeing that 50' American flag flying above the building but today it was not flying!! Why?”

“Omg this place is incredibly! I can't wait to go back. A five course meal cooked perfectly. Roasted red pepper soup, shrimp and grits, braised short ribs with the best gravy ever!!! And the dessert.....I didn't want to leave! The vibe.....loved it. Amazing chefs!”

“Leon's is literally in my dreams! My boyfriend and I went there for the first time three years ago. It blew our minds! Affordable, delicious food, and such a fun atmosphere. We returned a couple of times on the same trip. We live in NJ... and set up a trip last year JUST to go to Leons. I am actually scared to post a review because I selfishly want to keep it a secret for my boyfriend and I. Man, if you like chicken and oysters... you cannot go wrong. Damn, now I need to set up another trip. :)”

“Had a great experience, had excellent customer service from a cashier Sabrina. Will be coming back soon”

“My Bride and I visit here at least once a week. She eats wings and I get my weekly fish or shrimp. The food is great and consistent. I alternate between the fried chips and onion rings. Service is always top notch. In three years only one miscue, and it was fixed immediately! It’s great to have a local place that you can depend on! 👍🏻”

“Excellent food , service was excellent and an all around great experience. Will definitely be back”

“Food was great, service was Awesome, Whitney is the best”

“Omar and the chef were great. Wings are incredible! Service Top Notch !it has been a long time since we have been able to say that !!”

“Absolute best cheesesteak outside of Philadelphia, this place is a hidden gem in Charleston and you won’t be disappointed, high quality ingredients and great presentation. Jason told me the wings are incredible and I will be trying them soon!”

“The service, food, and experience was absolutely great and I reccomend this place to anyone in charelston.”

“Madison Maison is THE spot to go in Charleston. The whole scene is a vibe. Our server Journey, was incredible.”

“Good food come support!!!!! ( 4 G SHAWTY)”

“I loved the vibes and atmosphere. Food and drinks were amazing. Our bartender, Pepe was phenomenal and will definitely be back next time we’re in Charleston!!”

“I always looked forward to seeing that 50' American flag flying above the building but today it was not flying!! Why?”

“the people that work there are absolutely wonderful outstanding employees they burger I had was top notch of wonderful the one waiter that waited on us today he was the nicest young man ever so kind the food coming out of the kitchen could have been a little faster other than that everything was terrific”

“So many things were Great ! Service was outstanding from Haley! Food was wonderful and the music out in Hudson Alley was fantastic! Haven’t had this much fun in a while! Highly recommend you go !”

“Delicious brunch. Wonderful friendly staff. Warm atmosphere.”

“Oak has a great reputation for Charleston's best steaks and sides, atmosphere and service. Dining in the heart of downtown Charleston is the crowning gem! Hands down, Charleston's best!”

“Very cool atmosphere! Very romantic! Live music, great food! Definitely 5 stars from me! ⭐️”

“The food was amazing the crystal was an amazing server prompt attentive ever though the whole restaurant was slammed 10 out of 10 would ear here again”

“I ate here two years ago. I was impressed then, and I remain satisfied. it's such a beautiful, quaint place. the service is great.”

“the owner Roy Neal was very ridiculous when it came down to riding the bull he was rude and unprofessional only with black people. I have watched others ride the bull before me and nothing was said to them it was the worst racial experience ever. I would not recommend anyone of color to eat here especially from a guy who was that outrageous and unapologetic about his irrational behavior”

“Listen, I came to Bourbon & Bubbles expecting a nice dinner. But I'm here to tell you - I left this place questioning ALL my life choices. Because YES, that lobster ravioli is absolutely divine, some may say demure but I’m going with an orgasm of my tastebuds. One bite in and I was ready to trade in my KY girl heels & move upstairs. Everything else on the table held its own - crack potatoes lived up to their name, the deviled eggs were basically showing off, and the cocktails? Let’s just say their bourbon lineup could convince a Pentecostal to consider converting to Catholicism. The presentation was on point, too. It’s the kind of place where even the side dishes look better than I do in unfiltered photos.. Ambience-wise, picture a nightclub circa 2006 where velvet met gold, blue lighting was the vibe, and every bartender is a “master of their craft” (and will happily let you know). It’s moody, glam, and just the right amount of extra. 10/10 would come back, mostly to apologize to the ravioli for not meeting it sooner.”

“best drag show/brunch EVER! and our server Kahlil was amazing! 🤩”

“Omar and the chef were great. Wings are incredible! Service Top Notch !it has been a long time since we have been able to say that !!”

“I had lunch with a friend and the food was absolutely delicious. I started with the fried green tomatoes, followed by the turkey club sandwich and fried and I ended it with the butter cake with ice cream topped with candied nuts and drizzle with caramel sauce.

My server was Sylvie, she was an absolute delight, she was very friendly and her upbeat attitude and every time she visited our table she was smiling. She truly loves her job and it shows.

As an out of state day visitor she definitely made this visit a delight.

Thank you.”

“We were given a tip on this restaurant. While tough to get a table it was quickly obvious why. We had the rabbit roulade and the steak w wild mushrooms, but just as good as the main courses were the lamb dumpling appetizers. It was also a beautiful, refined atmosphere with top notice service.”

“My wife took me to Legami in Charleston for my birthday, and the entire team made it such a special evening. They welcomed us with complimentary prosecco, gave me a birthday card signed by the whole staff, and even surprised us with a complimentary cannoli for dessert. Those above and beyond thoughtful touches made us feel truly celebrated.

Our server, Brant, was incredibly kind and attentive and offered excellent recommendations. Everyone was also so patient and welcoming with our toddler, who was a little more vocal than usual that evening. As parents, we really appreciated their kindness.

The food was absolutely delicious. I had the duck, which had a perfect balance of flavors, and my wife had the Sacchetti, which was wonderfully flavorful and tasted so fresh.

From the food to the genuinely warm hospitality, Legami gave us a birthday dinner to remember. Thank you to Brant and the entire staff for making the evening so special!”

“Madison Maison is THE spot to go in Charleston. The whole scene is a vibe. Our server Journey, was incredible.”

“Great music, happy hour, and staff!”

“Absolute perfection !!!! My husband and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary last night at La Cave and we are so pleased with the entire experience! The food was absolutely amazing- the best salad I have ever had. The pomme Frits were great and the slider- huge and amazing. I enjoyed the filet for my main and my hubby had the snapper. Drinks were stunning and delicious! The service was fast, friendly and luxurious! Highly recommend!!!!”

“I have been following them on social media and could not wait to have dinner here. They exceeded my expectations! Food, phenomenal, atmosphere just what I was looking for, service impeccable. I cannot wait to come back.”

“WOW! What an incredible view of Charleston and OMG- the dishes & service was Stellar!
Met up with a girlfriend to join at the rooftop deck of The Nickel Hotel for Rosemary Rose for a quick early Happy Hour. We were the first ones there (they open at 4pm). Was greeted by Callie (spelling) front desk the bartender made an amazing rendition of an Aperol Spritz with White Peach Red Bull & St. Germain.. it was so gorgeous outside we had to take a seat outside under the shaded umbrellas & comfy sofas. Fun upbeat relaxing music was playing in the background. We had Daniel as our main server although two others also helped us along the way. The service was incredible!
The food (tapas type portions but enough to share) was OMG, Seriously Over The Top! The flavors were a journey on their own. We ordered the Rosemary Frites, the Chilled Shrimp, the Mushroom Toast, Chicken Skewer, Stuffed Cabbage Skewer, Shrimp Skewer & Kale Salad.. so seriously good & craveable! We also tried other cocktails too & they were accommodating to change a flavor or liquor.
Really, this was so good that I am confident to go back and have other items and they would be equally as good. Plus you really cannot go wrong with indoor dining or outside seating if it is a gorgeous day!”

“Tre, Matt, and everyone working the dayshift toon such incredible care of us. Visiting from Nashville on a bachelorette trip. Will definitely be back if visiting again.”

“My daughter and I stopped in tonight for a light dinner. It didn’t disappoint. The staff was amazing, especially Eric & Jacob. The food was tasty and my espresso martini (with peanut butter tequila) was a hit. Thanks for the hospitality and good times.”

“5++ stars!

I was lucky enough to live in the same building as this bakery from basically the day they opened to now. They are amazing! I’ve never had anything bad! The “GRIT” cookie might be the best ever! And the seasonal danish flavors and twists are amazing!

Everyone is so sweet and don’t sleep on the best baguettes in town! Coffee is also really good.
Also I have been to almost every bakery in Charleston and this place is top of the list.”

“Excellent authentic Mexican food and drinks! We ordered lunch at the counter, and the food was brought to us on the outdoor patio of Le Farfalle - beautiful setting on a nice day. Jonathan was very helpful in explaining the food & drink options. The quesabirria was as yummy as he said it would be! Highly recommend!!”

“The selections of main courses are diverse without being overwhelming.Steaks are phenomenal with ample cuts and price points. Amazing experience (again) no doubt we will return!”

“We had a blast! Great service and atmosphere, we tasted a bit of everything, but beef and tongue skewers were our favorite.”

“Our little Pizza 🍕 club tried out Timber Pizza Co. this week and it did not disappoint! Their pizza choices are top-tier and each ordered something different to audition the varied flavors. Absolutely something for every palate! We ordered up the Bambino, North Central, Penelope and the Classic Pepperoni. Not a single disappointing bite! Cool vibe and outside seating available, plus great drink options. The crust…perfect in every way. Highly recommend. Service outstanding.”

“They definitely committed to the bit. It has a great atmosphere with a wonderful drink selection and we loved the charcuterie. Katie was a wonderful hostess and single handedly ran the place with style and grace. If we are ever back in Charleston, we will absolutely return.”

“Five stars all around, absolute 10/10 experience in every way. One of the best meals we have EVER ever had. Every dish was unbelievable, just perfect bite after perfect bite. The staff were also wonderful and made our experience so special. The whole vibe was wonderful, I genuinely did not want to leave. We will return to Charleston just to eat here again!”
