“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.“

“We had an incredible experience at Stella's! The Greek cuisine here is truly authentic and delicious. Our server suggested the flaming Feta cheese appetizer with apricot topping, and it was absolutely fantastic! I opted for the Pikelia sampler entree, while my husband savored the delicious Lamb Shank. To complete our meal, we indulged in Greek coffee and dessert. The atmosphere, service, and food were all top-notch. Highly recommend!“

“Great food and service. Our waiter offered suggestions and was attentive. We ordered the smoked fish dip and bread as appetizers, she had the pasta and I had the rice dish. We also had cocktails and wine. All were terrific.I only have one suggestion, to expand or add more variety to the beer list. Not a big deal as everything else was amazing.“

“My husband and I really enjoyed the entirety of our evening at Muse. Great bartender and cocktails, great wine recommendation, and great service and meal. We were visiting from out of town and thought this place was fantastic. All the staff go above and beyond.“

“Amazing food, service, and I love sitting outside at the courtyard on a nice day! The mussels are our favorite, and the scallops a close 2nd. Make sure you save room for dessert because they are all also delicious!!! Definitely worth the trip to Daniel island to visit this restaurant!!“

“Dropped by Fiat Lux to grab a cocktail in a state of depression which was the most rewarding decision of my entire life. The drink was standard but the service and friendship that the bartender Patty treated me to was a biblical experience. Not only is this handsome man a shining light with the most beautiful smile but he’s a beacon of wisdom and advice for anyone in need.I’m convinced he will go extremely far in any organization and any company will be blessed to acquire such an asset.P.S. Ladies, I think he’s single but the ice girl (Ryan) is pursing him aggressively, so move quickly“

“The best baba ganoush this side of the Mediterranean. The smoked eggplant really made the dish. We had 4 other dishes and each one was better than the last.If you are vegetarian there are heaps of options for you to enjoy!Objectively, here are my ratings:Food: 8.5/10 atmosphere: 7/10 service: 7/10“

“Food is fresh and flavors are tantalizing. Service is friendly and cheerful. They have vegan options if that is your thing. They are wheelchair accessible. It's open air seating but it has covered area so one can still eat if there is Weatherby it's not terrible. Clean environment. Good ambiance music. The prices are reasonable.its close to the downtown area but not in the downtown area in a quiet neighborhood. I recommend this place“

“The Greek Salad is awesome! And grab some melitzanosalada for an authentic flair (good luck pronouncing that). There’s something here for everyone too. Even if you’re not a greek food fan (if there is such a thing).Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendly“

“I ordered the Philly steak with fried okra. The okra was hot, fresh and crispy... It tasted like it had a Cajun seasoning. The Philly had a soft but crunchy bread, the meat was seasoned well and the whole sandwich was juicy. I enjoyed my meal. Niko's is definitely a go to on my trips to Charleston now!“

“So, so good. We got the kebab for one person, tuna salad wrap for shorter, and picked from the deli case for 2 more. I’ve been here many times and highly recommend. The coconut cake is excellent as well.Only oddity was that the men’s bathroom was out of soap, toilet paper, and paper towels the whole time we were there (let them know and they were out of supplies).“

“Absolutely! At Kairos Mediterranean, the Taziki is a refreshing delight that bursts with flavor, transporting your taste buds to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean. Their bowls are a symphony of vibrant colors and bold flavors, offering a satisfying meal that nourishes both body and soul. And let's not forget the power greens salad, a crisp and nutritious masterpiece that leaves you feeling energized and revitalized with every bite. Whether you're craving a light and healthy option or a hearty and fulfilling meal, Kairos Mediterranean delivers an authentic taste of the Mediterranean with each dish.“

“The restaurant has just reopened under the name Sultan, and while it is physically the same, the food is much, much better. We had the falafel appetizer which, for falafel, was light and flavorful under the usual hard crust. Then we had the boneless chicken, just dark meat that we prefer, along with mixed vegetables and crispy potato slices, and that too was very flavorful. Finally, their baklava also very good and was not dripping with honey, so the flavor of the other ingredients came through. We were in a large group of people that chose a variety of menu items, and I only heard positive comments.“
