I get it now..the bartenders assume that everyone is a tourist and treats them like they’re never coming back again (they couldn’t care less). I’ll remember that the next time I want to pop in for a drink. That said, Great cocktails, wine and seafood. Always mediocre service at the bar at best.

Everything was gorgeous - like walking in a picture. All dishes were cooked and plated perfectly. There were throwbacks to Southern foods in the sides. The collards were smoky but a tad too vinegary - however it was good quality vinegar so most of our party enjoyed it. The cornbread was authentic and served in a cast iron skillet. I took the first bite and it called my mind back to the cracklin cornbread of my youth - haven’t had that in a while and it’s a happy memory. The fish was delicious, as was the chicken.
The server was impeccable - they said they very happy to amend any dishes if needed and the drinks stayed full. Drinks were great as well; a good balance on taste and potency.
The atmosphere was amazing - artistic details on every place the eye could land with warm lighting strategically placed throughout enhancing the mood. The porch area looked very elegant with its symmetrical gardens as well. It captured the mood of Charleston’s Historic District.

Hats off to the manager Alexandra! She was more than helpful with a very overserved crazy woman at the bar. Alexandra handled everything in the most professional manner… and even after the pscyhozgrinac woman insulted her personally, Alexandra kept her head up high and remained confident and professional and handled the situation with class. As a Charleston local, I will absolutely be returning to the husk bar. Also all the bar tenders were more than helpful. True team unit! And insanely dank burger!!!

We had a delicious meal on Valentine’s Day and didn’t feel like we were rushed or being sold a prix fixe menu. Our waiter was so sweet and very fun to chat with. The oysters I chose were so fresh, the whitefish dip was the perfect consistency, and the chicken was crispy and tender. I’ve been to Husk before but it was nice to try newer items on their menu. Always a favorite!

Beautiful old house with flavorful cuisine. The chicken liver pate was a WOW moment. The Joyce Farm Chicken and the Schnitzel were both memorable. The atmosphere is sophisticated but also restrained. The staff were attentive and helpful. Great place to take guests or celebrate a special occasion.

I wish I could rate this place 11 stars!!!! What an amazing menu. We enjoyed almost the entire selection! From the starters to dessert what an epic time. The service was fantastic. Oh and wait there is more. The wine list was one of the best I’ve seen in a while! So many fantastic producers from great vintages and priced just right. Hats off to Megan who walked us through a few bottles of some incredible finds. Trust your Somm! I can’t wait to come back.

Had a terrible experience tonight at Husk. Was overcharged for a steak. Was not notified how large the steak was or the market price and that it should have been shared with multiple people. Plus the only person I was out to dinner with was a vegetarian and this was disclosed to the waiter. Avoid this establishment if visiting Charleston.
I went to this restaurant with my mother and when we were visiting last month from New York City. We were treated very poorly and disrespected by the male manager and our male waiter when we questioned the outrageously priced ribeye steak. If you’re from up North avoid this restaurant as they have no respect for females. It’s very expensive and the food is mediocre. Shameful!

The best experience! While the food and atmosphere are both perfect — the service is just as great! We will visit every time we are in Charleston!

I had a fantastic meal here a few weeks ago. Our server Guy was amazing, he had helpful suggestions and the cocktail he recommended was absolutely delicious. We loved everything we tried! The menu blends classic southern flavors with more adventurous techniques and presentation, which elevates it above the other Charleston dinner options around. The meal was special but the space was unfussy and comfortable. I'll be back soon!

Food was inventive, well cooked, presented, and served. Staff was friendly and atmosphere was nice as well as accepting.

I understand and respect the policy of not allowing outside food or drinks. However, the way this was handled significantly affected my dining experience.
I had a coffee with me when I was seated. I was already sitting at the table and looking at the menu for about five minutes before a staff member came over to tell me that outside beverages were not allowed.
Had this been communicated at the door or at the time of seating, I would have had no issue at all and could have taken care of it immediately. Being told only after I was already settled felt awkward and disruptive.
I even suggested that the coffee could be temporarily held by the staff and returned after the meal, but this option was not accepted. While I understand policies can be strict, clearer and more timely communication would have made a big difference.
This wasn’t about the rule itself, but about how late and abruptly it was enforced. Better upfront communication would greatly improve the customer experience.
