Fantastic spot! Staff and management were welcoming, attentive and gracious. Food had great flavors- fresh and not overly saturated by any singular spice. Parking is very easy and experience was a joy!

Outstanding experience every time — excellent food, attentive service, and a staff that truly goes above and beyond. Parking is convenient, located just behind the building. As locals, this has become one of our go-to favorites.

As soon as I walked in, I was in awe of how stunning this place is. The vibe is modern, elegant, and bougie -- it honestly feels like a restaurant straight out of a big city. I loved being able to see into the kitchen, and the staff even brought out purse hooks for our bags -- such a thoughtful touch!
The food and drinks were top tier. My favorite drink was the Chinese Awakening -- perfectly balanced and full of flavor. For appetizers, I absolutely loved the XO wontons, and my husband couldn't stop raving about the ribeye wontons. The crab rangoon was also amazing -- you could actually taste the real crab meat, not the imitation stuff!
For our entrees, I had the Kung Pao shrimp, which was flavorful and beautifully presented. The people I was dining with ordered the beef chow fun, and they loved it just as much.
Between the atmosphere, the service, and the quality of the food exceeded every expectation. Everything about this restaurant is top-notch. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or living in the Charleston area -- I can't wait to go back!

Exactly what Charleston’s been missing. Creative menu- did someone say Burrata?
I have tried most things on the menu and truly loved it all, although the Bass is still my #1. So fresh, tender, just melts in your mouth. So much flavor in every bite.
Cocktails are innovative and right on point.
And don’t sleep on the desserts- Midnight Snack with Fruity Pebbles.. trust me.. 🤤

Terrific dinner experience. We sat at the bar and Laura took our order for food and drinks. She is a professional, friendly, knowledgeable about the food, drinks, history of the restaurant. We commented on the excellent quality of the food and drinks. She is very much a people person and fun to talk to. We told her we are from Hawaii and eat fish daily and also clean and scale all the fish we catch.
Dietary restrictions: Laura asked if any of us had allergies.
Parking: Classy ambience, emaculate, and though filled with patrons, quiet enough to talk to each other at normal conversation levels.

Incredible place for an anniversary dinner. The service from Laura was top notch! The front of the house worked as a team. All of Laura's recommendations were on point. The owner stopped by to check in on us. The food was out of this world. We enjoyed the ambiance so much we ended up grabbing an additional round after we closed out. I would recommend reserving a bar high top table as there was an insane amount of children screaming in the dining room. Not sure who has the money to take numerous children to a 5 star restaurant but it was what it was. Just the times I guess. This was the best date night we have had in Charleston and I highly recommend it.
We had a delish dinner experience at XO Brasserie! This asian resto looks very chic inside and not your typical asian place decor. We had a knowledgeable server, Tom, and very attentive to our table! His drinks recommendation for me was very helpful and his meal recommendation was awesome too! We started our dinner with hamachi crudo and in house pot stickers most ordered appetizer here, and I can say that they were so good! The flavor was party in my mouth! We ordered mapo tofu and I loved the sauce that contains mince pork, sichuan chili oil, sesame, and scallions. It has good flavor and kick to it and I can eat this meal all day! Pair it with white rice and you are good to go! Hands down the best mapo tofu and so different with your regular mapo tofu! My husband ordered XO Lobster and the they already took the meat out, fried breaded the meat and it came with sauteed mustard greens and xo sauce! So so good! We will be coming back to this place!!!

New chef, new unwanted tweaks to a hugely popular menu. Marginal food came out of kitchen at tortoise pace. Total disconnect and disappointing. Can only hope this was an aberration.

I celebrated my birthday here, and it was fantastic! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was just perfect. Charleston truly needed a gem like this for a while! The owner was super friendly, and our waiter Sean was just as wonderful. I had such a great experience!
First time visiting and this place exceeded all expectations. Walking in there is a great vibe, and friendly staff once you open the door. Nicole at the bar took great care of us with both food and beverage. The food is unreal - go with 4 or 5 people and order a lot of things and share them..... everything is done incredibly well. Can't wait to come back!

Lived in Charleston for the last 8 years. Been to a lot of exceptional restaurants in the area. This place is my new favorite. Try the Chilean sea bass if they have it.
