Food was okay, definitely not worth the $20+ price tag on every entree. I’m not sure if it was a rough night, but they took 1 hour 15 min to bring out 4 entrees for the table. They only apologized for the wait when I asked where the food was.Also; they use these kerosene wick lamps that give off intense black soot. One gust and your meal experience is ruined and now you have a headache, sit indoors or don’t go at all.All in all this place has the right idea, their food is ok, but everything else is mid to completely sub par.4/10, would only recommend if it’s your last option.

The food is great as well as our server Paige. She was very welcoming and provided great service. The food was fresh, not to mention the view is great as our party ate outside for lunch. I would highly recommend to try this restaurant if you haven’t already.
Located on the old naval base this restaurant has all the old charm and vibes. Excellent food and service. Dining outside is a must, being on the waterfront is so refreshing. When you order coffee you will get a carafe.Parking: Parking is all through the park.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I recently had the pleasure of dining at MOMO Riverfront Park Restaurant and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food at this establishment is nothing short of amazing - every bite was a burst of flavor sensation! The deviled eggs are an absolute must-try and the truffle fries are to die for. The burger was delicious and the steak was cooked to perfection.One standout item that I have to mention is their Bloody Mary - it is hands down the best I have ever had in the city! The flavors were perfectly balanced and it was a true delight to the taste buds.Not only is the food top-notch, but the restaurant also boasts great waterfront views, adding to the overall dining experience. While it may be a little challenging to find, tucked away in an old navy barracks part of town, it is definitely worth the search. The ambiance is unique and adds a special charm to the place.I also want to give a shoutout to the mixologist at MOMO Riverfront Park Restaurant - their cocktail skills are unparalleled. Every drink was expertly crafted and delicious.In conclusion, MOMO Riverfront Park Restaurant is a gem of a spot that deserves all the praise it receives. If you're looking for fantastic food, amazing drinks, and a great atmosphere, look no further. This place is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates quality dining.
Had a fabulous meal in a great setting. Service was excellent & the blue cheese burger was very tasty. It’s great to be able to go for a walk around a very nice park after dinner.
What a find on the North Charleston waterfront. The views were amazing. The food was top notch along with the service. We will be back and unlike going downtown there are plenty of places to park.

Absolutely wonderful drinks and food! The food was delicious, high quality, and the drinks are very good too! I had the steak and eggs, I had to chew the steak a bit (probably just the cut of meat) but it was cooked right and very tasty! The truffle fries are ADDICTIVE! I also tasted the biscuits and gravy and salmon toast, everything was delicious! It’s a beautiful spot on the water.

We came for the views and to get away from the busyness of Charleston. The location was very calm and beautiful, but otherwise we were pretty disappointed. Service was very slow and our waitress only came by to take our order and bring the check, but never to check on anything. We ordered the steak frites and cacio e Pepe. The steak was chewy, and inedible in some parts. We asked to sub for truffle fries and didn’t get them, which was too bad. The cacio e pepe was ok, but was oily and pretty flavorless. For a small menu, I’d expect the food to be really dialed in.Maybe the good reviews came from nights with a different chef and better servers, but it was overall disappointing. Mediocre when the area has better options.

I wanted this experience to be great. Truly. We have heard great things about MoMo. Upon arrival and sitting we said “why have we never been here?” (We had patio seating and the weather was perfect).Food was good. Cocktails were excellent. Our waitress was friendly and was doing everything she can, so the service rating is not towards her. It is towards the kitchen and management team.First, our appetizer came out missing part of the dish. Easy fix and our waitress did. Where it all went wrong was the kitchen was apparently behind. We sat down at 5:45, and got our cocktail and app ordered. Probably by 6, we ordered our main meal. Our main meal did not come out until 7:02! When we asked our waitress at 6:50, she said the kitchen was backed up. We told her we had to be leaving at 7:10 to catch a 7:30 show. Her first response, we may have to pack it to go or cancel your food order. Uh, what? She did get it expedited but here are my two issues:I watched two tables of two (we were a table of two) who arrived 20 minutes after us, get their apps, drinks and main meal way faster than we did.My other issues is we never saw a manager And got even an apology from them. It was all left to the waitress. I truly wasn’t looking for compensation but when you’re paying $160 for a meal, at least acknowledgment from management on the need to improve or an off night would have gone a long way.I’m a native that has eaten all over the lowcountry. We have many times had a 5:30 or 5:45 reservation and made it to our show by 7:30 (season tickets, so we do it multiple times a year). First time in three years of ticket holders we were late and missed the first 10 minutes of a show (that was only 80 minutes to begin with).I truly hope our experience was just a one off but it’s going to be hard to go spend that kind of money again and not receive the service we know we can get all over the Charleston area.
