“I showed up at 7 minutes before closing time with a special needs adult and a toddler. Server Kelly looked at us as we poked our heads in, looked at the clock, and said "sure, come on in." She proceeded to serve us like we were VIP's and the best thing to happen to her all day. What's more, the food is awesome. Really good. Huge menu for a breakfast place. I'm a fan.“
“This restaurant was so cute and the food was delicious! The staff were so kind and friendly. The kids keep asking to go back which is rare for everyone to agree on the same place! We highly recommend the creamy polenta, it was so good we ordered a second round!Kid-friendliness: Great kids options, friendly staff“
“We had the best drinks ever made by the bartender Gage! He was so sweet & made such delicious drinks. We had the lavender sunset, blackberry smash, and a Kentucky mule. He even made up a delicious mocktail for my 10 year old niece. We’ll definitely come back! ?“
“Very nice restaurant by the water with great views on the creek with a sight of dolphins. Seafood platter was very good, pimiento cheese was too creamy I prefer them a little more tough but still ok and then had the swordfish which was really really good with a chickpea pepper base really appreciated that! Definitely will be back it’s a great place“
“We are visiting Charleston and went in search of a nice, reasonable, well served seafood place. We found Wando River Grill and it is AMAZING in everyway!! Our server, Maggie, was so patient, helpful and attentive--we loved her!! The white chocolate bread pudding is out of this world--you have to try it! We will be back!!!“
“Always have a good time at Mainland. On the most recent visit, it was pretty crowded and they may have been understaffed so service was a little slow. But service staff was very friendly and helpful.I ordered the grouper bites which were ok. Not a fan of the breading/batter they used but the fish was good and great sauce to accommodate.They usually have some live music on the weekends and the outdoor space is where it’s all at! Usually they have decent amount of seating unless it’s an oyster roast day.The best part is the dogs love it.“
“The food we ordered was pretty good, although there isn't much to choose from as vegetarians I was happy with my order. The atmosphere is casual and reminiscent of a late 70s diner with a crowd of mostly local high school students. The staff was very friendly and proficient. This is not a location I would have thought to choose, but after giving it a try, I'll quite likely go again sometime.Vegetarian options: Although there are very few vegetarian options, the food that we did order was surprisingly good. I recommend the waffles and hashbrowns.“
“Really beautiful interior, and the food was great! The waiter was very attentive and said they just a hired a new chef. The French fries were so cool, and I loved the super veggie sushi. Great cocktails, awesome spot for brunch on the water.“
“The restaurant seems to be showing its age. The gnocchi is still great. The atmosphere, service, and other dishes are in decline. At the price point there are better options in Charleston. They have removed the lime cream puff from the menu, if you are/were a fan of it.“
“Food was excellent! Definitely get the tasting menu! The dishes were a good size for my wife & I to share. They accommodated her with providing a pescatarian option for main course. Great service & atmosphere was warm & laid back. Can’t recommend this gem highly enough!“
“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.“
“We were visiting Charleston and this restaurant was highly recommended from Embassy Suites by Hilton in Mt Pleasant. We were not disappointed. Located in the heart of down town Charleston on East Bay street ( near Market St). On street parking. Very little. Our server Frederick M. was professional, courteous, experienced waiter, and personable. Great menu. My wife had the Salmon salad was devious and huge. I ate the Soft shell Crab ( total soft-shell crab). Fabulous. Needed a steak knife to cut and eat. Quality of the food was fantastic. service was excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant. Probably need reservations at night ( we went for lunch).“
“We loved our experience here at Cru Cafe. Sally our server was excellent! Her smile and charm at so much to the atmosphere. I loved that they had a non alcoholic beverage too. The beer choices were excellent for our party too. The champagne drink was good tooParking: Easy peasy“
“Absolutely delicious food. We started with the s'mores and carrot cake and were not disappointed. So rich and delicious. We moved on to the fried sweet potato skins, topped with an arugula salad blend. So well balanced and fresh. The main course was the tomato pie. Honestly the best meal I've ever had in Charleston! Highly recommend!“
“A beautiful little restaurant that has it all. The service was fantastic and the ambiance perfect.The sourdough was fenominal. Flounder was amazing but many bites were over salted. Same issue with the rabit pasta being good but much too salty.The dessert - flourless cake was perfect! So glad we ordered it!Really only issue was the saltiness. I would definitely return though, its a lovely spot“
“BEST restaurant I have ever been to and this is not an overstatement! The service was very professional and I felt like I was attending a classy dinner 138 years ago with my partner. World class chef who is very creative with his menu. The food is on the pricy end but the caliber of the food and service trumps it! The staff puts a lot of effort into what they do- I love their passion. Highly recommend!“
“I could not write this review fast enough. We had the pleasure of having Eric as our server last night. What an incredible guy. He greeted us by name, went over the entire menu page by page, offered recommendations for food and drink. We did the chef’s experience tasting menu and it was incredible. Eric went over each course and explained how it was prepared. Our bill after some drinks and tip was a bit over $400 but truly the best money I have ever spent for food and experience. Again, thank you to Eric for making our time in Charleston so memorable and if we are ever back we will be requesting him by name, he was truly wonderful. -The Fees“
“Amazing experience through and through. From the greeting on the porch, the intimate table setting, amazing service, and even more amazing food. This resteraunt really curates an excellent experience. Once you order everything at the beginning of your meal you can sit back and relax as the dishes roll out perfectly timed. The chefs delivered the dishes themselves and were as enthusiastic to explain them as we were to eat them. Our server was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and helped guide our choices. The menu on their website was definitely different than the one we were handed. Their menu rotates so frequently that their website lags behind, and that's a great thing. Don't let it scare you away from a reservation, but let it excite you for the surprises that await. We sat on the balcony of the back porch where there are only 3 tables and it was very private! This resteraunt is going into our list of required visits every time we visit the city. Absolutely try this place. You won't regret it.“
“One of the best dining experiences I have ever had! Menus was beautifully crafted and even prepared substitutions for my wife given her pregnancy. Amazing team that took care of us and got to know us personally in the 2-hour timeframe we were there. At the end, they surprised us with a hand-signed copy of our menu to help us commemorate such a great experience during our baby-moon.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Need reservations , this is an upscale restaurant and to enjoy the experience always nice to dress well but casual is fine here as well. The tables are well spaced out and the bar and tables are well spaced out They have a number of great waiters to help decision making as there are many interesting signature dishes The drinks and desert menu was good as well We had the steak verde and the cauliflower as the appetizer and the gnocchi, potato crusted grouper and peel Milanese as our main course Great service !“
“Great bar/lounge in a relaxed setting on King's St. Nice ambiance to kick back with friends over modern cocktails. They take pride in their house made infusions and unique cocktail recipes. Over the top mixtures and formulas make up some of their wild flavorful concoctions! Bartenders are nice as well as the wait staff.“
“Talk about a great time with amazing eats and even better hospitality. The gang at Bedford Falls are just stellar! Bar tender Roscoe is a top notch lad and the owner Brendan made us feel right at home. Can’t say enough about the food…just perfection. Try the Fried Chicken Sandwich! Hands down a place to visit if you are in town.“
“Izzy was the best!! The entire time, she checked on us many times, came by after we settled up to see if we changed our minds and gave us multiple options for the most popular drinks and her favorites. Izzy is the kind of server you want every time you go ANYWHERE!!!The owner also came by numerous times to ensure we were comfortable and cared for.My family and I will 100% be back to see her and the staff again next time we come to Charleston! Best bar in the C-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!!!!“
“This place is a gem! Awesome local taproom. Great selection of beers - IPAs, stouts, sours, they have it all. The bartenders really know their stuff, and is a Bills fan, who helped me pick out some winners. The vibe is chill and friendly. Definitely a cool spot to kick off a night on King Street! ??“
“Absolutely the best dining in Charleston!This is not just a meal, it is a full experience.Servers are so knowledgeable and the sommelier is extremely helpful in pairing cocktails and wine throughout the dinner.The food is decadent, so well thought out, and beautifully structured.My husband and I dined here on our honeymoon last October and I loved it so much that my girlfriend, who is having her bachelorette party in Charleston, and I are coming to town a day earlier than the rest of the group just so we can dine here!“
“Fun rooftop spot with a trendy vibe and great aesthetics. They have indoor and outdoor seating but the court yard is definitely worth it if weather permitting. There is a great fire place for the cooler nights and overall is an excellent pick for girls night, bachelorette parties or any excuse to get dolled up and have fun cocktails and raw bar! A bit pricey but all the trendy spots usually are.“
“For starters, the bartenders couldn't be better. They handled a busy crowd in the most efficient and kindest way I've seen. Plus the drinks were great and the glowing ice cubes were super cool. However the food is what takes the cake...I got the 'Reindeer Chili' and it was amazing. It was like home cooked chili w the perfect amount of sour cream and toppings...plus the rice it laid on made the dish perfect. It would be an amazing dip too I bet ...The ambiance was totally on par for Christmas too“
“Amazingly unique culinary experience you don’t want to miss. Extremely fresh and inspired local ingredients, outstanding team of chefs that clearly love what they do. A comfortable atmosphere that is understated and lets the food shine! Definitely can’t wait to hit this place on our next visit!“
“The staff is the best, attentive and courteous, there's a terrific selection of arcade games including skee-ball, there's plenty of space for large events, and although they only have about 8 lanes there is enough room for everyone to bowl and relax comfortably. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike!“
“We hosted a rehearsal dinner and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Chris David & Jona were so attentive. The food was beyond amazing. We couldn’t be happier with how the night turned out. It was absolutely magical. Thank you Chris David & Jona for taking such great care of us and our family. And thank you Abby for helping us organize this wonderful night ???“
“What a phenomenal spot all around! The wait staff and kitchen staff were all friendly, accommodating and helpful! Each course came out perfectly timed and was all amazing. We opted for the chefs/kitchen barstools, which was surprisingly comfortable seating and a great experience watching and interacting with the chefs. Everything we got was fantastic, thought out, well executed and tasty! I will absolutely be coming back.“
“This is a repeat from two years ago. Then, we stuck to drinks on the rooftop. This trip we did two separate visits with late lunch and drinks. I found the "Limeade" refreshing. It was not too sweet and had a nice balance of lime and bubbles. The crab soup was wonderful and the greens were tasty! Service both times was great.Wheelchair accessibility: With assistance through the narrow door, coming in is not too difficult. Once inside, it is accessible on first floor only. There, the floors are hardwood, and the tables are spaced such that navigating to the table should be easy enough. The building is a renovation. There is no elevator to the other two floors.“
“Popped over here for a night cap. We were able to snag a table in the corner for 8 of us. This is inside the Charleston place and it had a cool old cigar lounge/casino vibe. Our server was nice and was accommodating to our large group. My drink was a strawberry milk punch, it was good and light, not super spirit forward. I definitely wanna come back and try more things.“
“I have been a member of the Harbour Club for almost 15 years, at the old location and at the new location. It is a private club, but it has always been a great club and a great place for networking and having meetings and dinners with business associates, but the current location, staff, chef, and atmosphere is by far the best it has ever been. There is always a smile and a friendly greeting from the whole staff and the servers are great! The new chef has done a great job and recently upgraded the menus. Views from the club are outstanding, especially the sunset over the Ashley River. My wife and I have recently joined the wine club and really enjoy the wine tastings. They have live music on Fridays, special events throughout the year, kids activities and they support the community with their "Cocktails For a Cause" events. Whether you are looking for a place to do some work in quiet workspaces, attend a great happy hour, or want to network and have a place to take business associates, you should consider the Harbour Club. You will not be disappointed!“
“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!“
“It was our first time visiting Charleston and we had lunch reservations as this restaurant came highly recommended. Well, it didn't disappoint us! Our server, Ben, was amazing! He absolutely made it a great experience! Ben is the best!“
“Wonderful bartender and drinks. We were lucky that it wasn't too crowded so we got served right away. We had tried to get in at another restaurant across the street that was packed. This location was much better as we could visit amongst ourselves and had a wonderful time.“
“I was greeted immediately twice when I came in. I think some restaurants don't realize how much this matters. The service was super fast. I was given water and they took my drink order super fast. The food came so fast it surprised me, both times I came in. The food was absolutely delicious and I couldn't recommend it more. Well exceeded my expectations both times. If I am back in Charleston, I will be back.“

“My family was in town for vacation and wanted to find somewhere for breakfast other than the usual chains. We stumbled upon Sunrise Bistro and couldn't have had a better experience. I don't remember the last time I've encountered such genuinely kind and friendly people in the service industry. On top of the exceptional service, the food was amazing! My son loved his chicken and waffles! My other son had a chorizo breakfast burrito and inhaled every bite! My husbandoved the self serve coffee bar. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town. Don't miss this place!“
