“Brunch at The Darling was wonderful. Austin, our server, recommended two different oysters which were fantastic as well as the crab cakes Benedict and quiche. The Captain Bloody Mary’s were as delicious as rumored to be with the crab claw, lobster, shrimp and hush puppy. Definitely a must especially when visiting Charleston. Austin was extremely attentive with impeccable service.“
“Can’t say enough good things about Hanks! The martinis are ice cold and made to perfection. The crab cakes and grouper are the best I’ve ever had. The service is grand. Highly recommend for a special dinner or just a night out on the town.“
“My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary having a “staycation” in downtown Charleston. Our plan was to put our name in at 167 but the wait was just too long. We stopped at a few bars and looked up local restaurants and landed on Anson, which had a reservation available for 2. We’d never heard of the restaurant but the reviews spoke for themselves.We had such an amazing time. The atmosphere was great. We put down that it was our anniversary on the reservation form and the team at Anson went above and beyond to celebrate - an amazing upstairs table, and a bit of champagne, berries, and whipped cream to wrap up the meal. Peter, our waiter, could’ve sold us on just about anything on the menu. We went with the she crab soup, shrimp de johnes, blackened snapper, and the filet with bone marrow butter. Every bite was incredible. We’ve found our new favorite place in a city full of “the bests.” Thank you Anson!“
“Halls Chophouse in Charelston was absolutely AMAZING!! We 3 ladies shared a tomahawk steak that was prepared to perfection, flavorful and melted in your mouth! The shareable sides ( loaded mashed potatoes, corn, and brussel sprouts were out of this world!! The entire staff from the hostess to the food runners were attentive, accommodating and soooo kind and welcoming! Our waiter Kevin was the absolute BEST! We felt a little like royalty lol.I’m a world traveler and I must say that this place is on my top 3 list of best experiences!! Thank you Kevin and staff for a memorable evening.“
“This place is ok. We got the oyster, and I was surprised how unflavored it tastes, and I've eaten oysters around the world. The only reason I am giving this place a 4 star is because of the gumbo. OMG, the best I've ever had. Can't stop thinking about it. A must for everyone.“
“I wanted to let the manager and owner know that Quinn my server was amazing for his first time. He need a raise and a gold star. Normally I don’t do surveys but this time I am doing one because he was so good. I know he was good because a friend of mines gave him a $20.00 tip an he normally don’t give that much. He normally ask me do that server deserve a tip or not. So this is our third time eating at Hymans Seafood so we really enjoyed the food. We sat at table # 71 on April 19th. My birthday was April 17th. Last year we went to Hymans Seafood again for my birthday so that means twice in a row I celebrate my birthday with a great meal. Thanks again Hymans Seafood for an amazing atmosphere and great food. We will see you again….“
“Hands down best meal in Charleston. Well worth the 2.5 hour wait. Absolutely incredible flavors across the board. Very fresh seafood, prepared to perfection. The atmosphere is lively and fun!We had the sweetest server, Holly! We bonded over people always saying our names wrong lol. There’s no wonder this place makes everyone’s must try list when visiting Charleston! “
“Absolutely fantastic experience at The Establishment. The food was really awesome, but what really set this restaurant above its competitors was the level of service. All the wait staff, everyone, was phenomenally well trained and did an exceptional job. This was our first time going, but it's now on my short list of favorite restaurants in Charleston. Very, very highly recommended.“
“Went here for brunch. This place has great service and atmosphere. The menu is fantastic but the execution just wasn’t 100% ie the portions are small for the price as some other reviews mentioned. We had the fried rice with short rib and maybe six small pieces of short rib and then 95% rices. The flavors were good but why skimp on the meat. So nice place overall but food it hit/miss for the price so just be ready for that“
“Fantastic Food, super fresh, the staff were excellent and the atmosphere was really cool. Hands-down one of the best restaurants that Charleston has to offer without a doubt you have to go to this place. If you visit Charleston one little tidbit, it opens up at five. If you wanna even be considered to go in there, they do not take reservations get there at 4 o’clock. You may find yourself in a line of 30 people, but you will get in.“
“High Cotton is one of the more prestigous locations to enjoy brunch (as well as lunch or dinner) in historic Charleston (note: it's part of the Hall's group of restaurants). At the corner of East Bay and Cumberland, it is comprised of four large rooms three of which have lots of natural sunlight while the fourth is a bar in the interior with dark wood paneling trim. The menu offers a pleasant mix of Southern style brunch classics (Chicken & Waffles, Shrimp & Grits and the like) but you are paying a bit of a premium for the name and location.For our meal, we started with yummy Cinnamon Rolls in a skillet (very taasty and sweet, especially the center portion), then a Brunch Burger (excellent... really like the egg, meat, bacon, cheese and sauce mix togther surrounded by an egg brioche bun...the only way to have a burger), and the Crab Cake Benedict (also very good).Service, as you'd expect, was professional, friendly and on point. We had an additional pleasure to know that we sat in the exact same table as Ryan Gosling and Rachel Adams did in The Notebook (it's the small 2 person round table in the corner facing East Bay and Cumberland Streets). Nice...and we had no clue about it when we arrived, it just so happened. Enjoy!“
“Was the rehearsal dinner foe my niece's wedding. Everything was spectacular. Highly recommend the low country boil.Parking: Downtown Charleston has a shortage of parking and Leon's is no exception. Small dedicated lot was full and limited space.Kid-friendliness: Kids attended and service was great.“
“This placed lived up to the hype! Food was fantastic! Our server was very accommodating & provided a dairy free option for my wife that was not on the menu. Great vibe to the restaurant which was buzzing with all the diners eating there. Can’t recommend this place enough!!! Go there you won’t be disappointed!“
“10/10 experience and we will definitely be back! Our server was wonderful and the entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was top tier and the scallops were the best I've ever had! We shared the mixed berry cobbler with strawberry cheesecake ice cream and it was out of this world! I cannot say enough about The Peacock..absolutely amazing!“
“Walked in at 2:45 on Monday , got lucky with 3 seats a oyster bar without waiting , excellent service, food and atmosphere, we had gumbo, shrimp and grits, hamburger, 2 parking lots side by side, one is public, the other is restaurant parking“
“Absolutely love this place. Service was amazing the staff have a family type vibe. I felt right at home after sitting down. The atmosphere is really light and beachy with a great DJ to go along. Some of the best seafood in chsrleston the oysters and fish won't disappoint.“
“WOW. Amazing!! Best brunch in downtown charleston. Their lunch and dinner menu is also fantastic. My server was Katie and she was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. The manager Mike was also very attentive. Great restaurant, will always continue to come here!“
“London was amazing. Friendly, and fast! She anticipated our needs, made great suggestions for our entrees and was very timely with our refills. Thank you for the excellent service!An unexpected surprise was the staff singing happy birthday to my daughter. Thank you again.“
“Great place, excellent food, reasonably priced, and fantastic service. It's an absolute gem on James Island worthy of downtown Charleston. Never had something I didn't like. From a fine Charcuterie board to an Italian BLT... steak to chicken and waffles. Lovely outdoor seating area and an elegant yet comfortable bar. It's definitely worth a visit.“
“We sat at the bar. Took some time to be served a drink, but once we had the bartender's attention, the rest was great! We ordered 2 dozen raw oysters at Happy Hour price, a great value. Very fresh & served with 3 different sauces, as well as a bottle of yummy local hot sauce. Lovely place, very popular. All ages were welcome.“
“My dining experience was one of the most enjoyable years. From our cocktails to the Bulls Bay Clams. The Grouper and Flounder Entree was declcious and cooked perfectly. Then we finished our meal off the desert. I would highly recommend that if you're in town looking for a delicious, relaxing dining experience, give The Tempest a try. Btw- My wife thanks the staff for her flower..“
“Wow, what an incredible restaurant! From the service to the atmosphere to the food, gee, it really hits all the marks! I want to express my gratitude to the incredible staff for making my visit absolutely incredible. I’ve talked so highly of this restaurant, and I haven’t even mentioned the incredible, high quality cups. From top to bottom, this may be the best restaurant ever!“
“Every bite was a complete delight! Fresh raw bar was ready to go and satisfied everybody at the table. The oyster Po boy as well as the smashburger were the perfect size. Service is great, it was busy yet everything was quick, tasty and met my expectations!“
“We were looking for a place for happy hour and oysters and have enjoyed the Bay St location so we thought we would give the West Ashley spot a try and so glad we did. We sat at the bar by the shucking area and learned more about oysters from Doyle than we thought possible. The oysters were all excellent and you must try the char-broiled oysters for an app. They were fantastic. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive and we really liked the home town, neighborhood atmosphere. If you're looking for a great place for oysters away from the tourists this is the place. Sit on the right side of the bar and visit with Doyle. You'll be glad you did.“
“Food was delicious, I got the Bookmaker sandwich and fries. Sandwich was on the smaller side for the price point though, definitely not lacking in flavor and quality however. I will say the downside to this visit was the service, we were sat quickly after going in, but we were checked on/visited by our server about every 15-20 minutes. Never offered refills on our drinks, had to ask another server (who wasn't assigned to our table) for a refill. I've been in the industry myself before and I am typically graceful to restaurant employees because I know the struggles. It seemed like he was waiting outside tables mainly but was given a few inside tables as well, this can be very difficult for a waiter/waitress so I understand when one is stretched too thin. Nonetheless I feel like this is a good restaurant overall, just needs some improvements in service.“
“From exquisite presentation to unparalleled freshness, every bite is a symphony of flavors. The ingredients were fresh, the dining ambiance was intimate and the wine pairings were perfect! The omakase experience is a masterpiece of tradition and innovation, leaving you craving more. A must-visit for oyster and raw fish aficionados seeking luxury and impeccable service. We can’t wait to go back!!“
“I was in town for work and went to Hymans for dinner on a Wednesday night at the recommendation of a local. Food was fantastic. Complimentary hush puppies. We got crab soup, salmon croquettes, and fried shrimp tacos, and they were all delicious. Clifton h's service was SUPERB and even though it was busy, he kept us entertained and fed. Great experience, and will absolutely return on my next trip into town.“
“Dillan was an amazing waiter. He recommended the halibut entree and the Elvis dessert. We also ordered shrimp and grits and a side of squash. Everything was beyond our expectations. Honestly the best meal this trip. We’re staying at the Vendue as well. Honestly, the hotel (Allyson- curator) and the restaurant, AND the service ,AND the people , do not disappoint. And, and, and ,and, and….. go there an experience the Vendue!!!!“
“A few girlfriends and I had a wonderful evening at Sermet’s tonight— the food was DIVINE. The ambiance in the courtyard with Keith Miller’s music couldn’t have been better. Our waitress was perfectly attentive and pleasant, too. We’re already planning our next dinner back.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free accommodations“

“Beautiful gardens and restaurant. We did wait a while before service came for drinks but was quick after that. I had the shrimp and grits and sampled some of the bisque and salads. All of it was delicious. The shrimp and grits was perfectly creamy and chewy. The tomato was flavorful and the shrimp juicy.“
“I can’t say enough about this place! The food was absolutely amazing. The crab cake appetizer was phenomenal as well as the pimento cheese fritters. The frisée salad was THE best salad I’ve ever had and the bbq mahi was perfect. Our waiter Zach was the best, especially when I forgot my leftovers, he chased us down the street to give them to me. Thank you Zach!“
“Great place to grab a quick meal & a beer! The views are beautiful, the people that work there are great, and the new manager since I was last there is excellent. She has the place running super efficiently, big props to her! The only drawback to here is that parking and getting in and out of the parking lot can be difficult, especially during rush hour times. That being said, if you want a nice place to grab a bite that has a good atmosphere and views, you can't beat Ellis Creek Fish Camp.“
“Delightful crabhouse right by Market St. We were seated upstairs and loved the ambiance. Started with hush puppies, which are definitely a must! They come with honey butter. We also shared the shrimp with grits and cheese along with the shrimp po boy. Both dishes were terrific. Although, the po boy was a little small for the price.“
“They're the best. Hands down. Always get the cuban and Mac. Each time I come, they're open day or night with smiling faces ready to welcome the next customer. Hot, delicious food right off the flat top. Im surprised they're not slammed whenever I come! Just a cute hidden gem with great food and a nice dining table set outside! The picnic benches are so cute at night lit up by the fairy lights. This place is going to do big things! ♡ thank you randalls.“
“My husband and I were in from out of town and tried this place after seeing the good reviews. We got the trio dip appetizer with salsa, guacamole, and queso. I had chicken quesadillas and my husband had a couple tacos. The quesadillas were amazing! Great value for the money, great food and friendly service. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.“
“There are surely plenty of great fish sandwiches. You will not find a better one than Dave's.Parking: Parking is very hit or miss. Don't let that detour you.Take a friend, drop them off to order while you circle the block. Make it an adventure!“
“5 stars. You'll miss it from the road if you aren't looking for it. But a real low country gem. The food is great, and the service is authentic. I would not pass up a chance to stop in and eat when driving by. You will not regret it.“
“We tried Danny’s Philly Steaks last night and it was amazing!The owner was helping us and super accommodating and personable. Food was delicious!Will definitely be returning!Parking lot is difficult because of the construction beside the place. Don’t let it deter you!“
“Beautiful spot to take in the view and enjoy some yummy food! Biscuits were delicious. I had the country fried steak and eggs and it was great as well. Great service! When you come in to parking lot, you have to take a ticket to park but the restaurant will validate your parking!“
“Absolutely fantastic price for the quality of food I got. Everything was freshly made, and you could tell the quality of food was amazing. Similarly, the quantity of food was spectacular for the price of everything purchased. I have never been awed by a restaurant that has “cheap” food until I stepped foot into here. 100% recommend to anyone and everyone. Selection for all tastes, and I promise you won’t be disappointed with the food you get. 10 stars if I could!“
“The staff was amazing, the food was incredible (and I had trouble choosing from so many great options), the drinks are reasonably priced, and the atmosphere on the outside patio is very pleasant. All in all, I really like this place a lot. I haven't been disappointed by any of the food that I've ordered so far. It's also nice to be able to order appetizers, drinks and pay from the table kiosks they have. Ample seating capacity and parking. I've had two spectacular experiences so far, and I look forward to going again.Parking: It's right next to a mall, so the worst you have to do is walk a short distance from parking to the restaurant, but they have quite a bit of parking right next to the building.“
“We stopped at LoLo’s on our way from Folly Beach. Food was delicious with attentive service. We had the shrimp with fried grit cake, excellent flavors, and fried shrimp, fried green tomatoes, and hush puppies. The breading was light on the fried food and delicious. Highly recommend.“
“This place has been on of my favorites for years! Everyone is super nice. And they stay busy especially during dinner. They must've changed chefs recently because everything is even more flavorful then before! It's delicious as always, even the takeout!! My favorite dishes:Summer rollsShrimp poppersShrimp papaya saladMassaman curry shrimp Pad see eu shrimp Pad Thai shrimp Mango sticky riceThai ice tea is a must!! It's super cute inside as well. Smaller space buy still sits a good amount.“
“I came here for the first time And intend to eat every menu in the picture, it looks very delicious. Unbelievable, everything here is so wonderful. The food was amazingly delicious and impressive. The service is top notch. More importantly, the manager is impressive, warm and attentive to every detail. Everything together Let me tell you, it's unbelievably amazing. We recommend that everyone experience the joy of delicious food and unforgettable service. I will bring friends and family as often as possible and at every opportunity I can. The manager is very nice and very polite.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“
“I came in for a late Friday lunch and was greeted by the sweetest server, Brandy! She got my order taken in a timely manner and was very kind. I ordered the grilled oysters and tacos which were very tasty. The michelada was also delicious. A great way to start my weekend :)“
“Excellent pork chop! Every restaurant at Charleston Place Hotel has great meat and PC is no exception. Service was friendly and atmosphere was appropriate for the cafe-if looking for more luxe go to the Charleston Grill or Thoroughbred Club. Palmetto Cafe fit the bill for what we were looking for!“
“We had fish and onion rings. I had a full fish portion and wife had half portion. The onion ring were awesome and plentiful. The fish was flaky with a good crust. Tartar sauce was ok, nothing special.They had a fair selection of beer, but I expected a wider selection of local breweries (they did have a few, just not many.)The waitress rook a while to take our orders but was attentive after that.Price was reasonable for portions received.Overall, a place worth visiting if you are close but not worth an out of the way trip to eat there.“
“I dined at Delaney oyster tonight, and had an incredible experience. Our server was Charlie (easy to remember, we have the same name) and he gave us an experience we could never forget. 10/10 I will be back and I will be asking for Charlie!“
