Restaurants near Daniel Island

“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.”

“Daniel is great. He's super attentive and an excellent server.Dietary restrictions: Yay, gluten-free pancakes!Wheelchair accessibility: Drive right up to the outdoor table!”

“Arrived before the dinner rush, seated quickly. The eggplant with minced pork had no spice or heat and the szechuan chicken had no numbing peppercorns n very limited hot peppers. All the vegetables in the dishes were very fresh, nice crunch.”

“would give 10 stars if i could - the staff are the nicest most wonderful people i’ve ever met and the syrups & coffees are delicious!!!! truly on days i have off work i default here to get my morning coffee & breakfast!Kid-friendliness: they are so nice and patient with kids it’s wonderful!”

“WOW. The only reason to give this place less than 5 stars is to keep others from learning how good this place is. The BRISKET is the best we have found on the North / South Carolina cost. We can’t wait to try some of the other meats (if we can pass up the brisket). We will definitely be back.”

“I dined at Delaney oyster tonight, and had an incredible experience. Our server was Charlie (easy to remember, we have the same name) and he gave us an experience we could never forget. 10/10 I will be back and I will be asking for Charlie!”

“Finally got reservations and felt I won the lottery. This restaurant was worth it. The food and drinksWere all great. The service was good as well. Place gets packed so make sure you have resys.”

“Yes, it is as amazing as the others mentioned. You can stop looking for another cocktail bar now, this is on your must-see/try short list. With some of the best well-crafted balanced cocktails you'll find anywhere, coupled with an amazing staff, you'll want to visit again, trust me.”

“So, my old man and I decided to treat ourselves to some Italian grub at this place, and let me tell you, it was off the charts! From the moment we stepped through the door, we knew we were in for a treat. The vibe was classy yet cozy, setting the perfect mood for a memorable night.Now, onto the good stuff – the food! Every dish we tried was like a party in our mouths. I'm talking next-level risotto with truffles that had us swooning, and ossobuco so tender it practically melted on the fork. And don't even get me started on the fresh-baked focaccia – we had to resist filling up on it before the mains even arrived!The service was top-notch too. The staff were super friendly and knew their stuff when it came to recommending wine pairings. We ended up trying a couple of their suggestions, and boy, were they spot on!Honestly, it's no surprise this joint has a solid five-star rating. I wouldn't be shocked if they bagged themselves a Michelin star soon – they're that good. So, if you're in the mood for a dining experience that's a cut above the rest, do yourself a favor and hit up this Italian spot. Trust me, you won't regret 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!”

“We loved this restaurant so much that we came two nights in a row while on our vacation. Amazing food, the best bread I’ve ever had, and excellent service. They have unique vegetarian options as well.”

“This place is ok. We got the oyster, and I was surprised how unflavored it tastes, and I've eaten oysters around the world. The only reason I am giving this place a 4 star is because of the gumbo. OMG, the best I've ever had. Can't stop thinking about it. A must for everyone.”

“Entirely too many children. Please have a separate area for kids. I would really love this place if kids weren't running and screaming around me while I tried to enjoy a beer outside. Good food and beer and almost a nice patio if you like kids at a bar.”

“The truffle grits with Scallops and asparagus was delicious. Scallops cooked perfectly. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very talkative and nice. Can’t remember his name, but thank you for great service and being kind. Made for an all around great experience.Also, thank you to chef for planing my food back under the heat lamps while I used the restroom.”

“Best omakase in Charleston and probably South Carolina. On par with places I’ve been in Seattle and NYC. You won’t be disappointed. One of the better sake selections I’ve ever seen and Chris knows his stuff. If you like high quality omakase you need to snag a reservation here.”

“Can’t say enough good things about Hanks! The martinis are ice cold and made to perfection. The crab cakes and grouper are the best I’ve ever had. The service is grand. Highly recommend for a special dinner or just a night out on the town.”

“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.”

“Hands down best meal in Charleston. Well worth the 2.5 hour wait. Absolutely incredible flavors across the board. Very fresh seafood, prepared to perfection. The atmosphere is lively and fun!⁣We had the sweetest server, Holly! We bonded over people always saying our names wrong lol. There’s no wonder this place makes everyone’s must try list when visiting Charleston! ⁣”

“Fantastic Food, super fresh, the staff were excellent and the atmosphere was really cool. Hands-down one of the best restaurants that Charleston has to offer without a doubt you have to go to this place. If you visit Charleston one little tidbit, it opens up at five. If you wanna even be considered to go in there, they do not take reservations get there at 4 o’clock. You may find yourself in a line of 30 people, but you will get in.”

“This placed lived up to the hype! Food was fantastic! Our server was very accommodating & provided a dairy free option for my wife that was not on the menu. Great vibe to the restaurant which was buzzing with all the diners eating there. Can’t recommend this place enough!!! Go there you won’t be disappointed!”

“Brunch at The Darling was wonderful. Austin, our server, recommended two different oysters which were fantastic as well as the crab cakes Benedict and quiche. The Captain Bloody Mary’s were as delicious as rumored to be with the crab claw, lobster, shrimp and hush puppy. Definitely a must especially when visiting Charleston. Austin was extremely attentive with impeccable service.”

“Halls Chophouse in Charelston was absolutely AMAZING!! We 3 ladies shared a tomahawk steak that was prepared to perfection, flavorful and melted in your mouth! The shareable sides ( loaded mashed potatoes, corn, and brussel sprouts were out of this world!! The entire staff from the hostess to the food runners were attentive, accommodating and soooo kind and welcoming! Our waiter Kevin was the absolute BEST! We felt a little like royalty lol.I’m a world traveler and I must say that this place is on my top 3 list of best experiences!! Thank you Kevin and staff for a memorable evening.”

“Honestly, the best meal I've had in Charleston in a long time. Our group had vegans and non-vegans, and we all had plenty of delicious options to choose from. I'll be dreaming about some of these dishes for a long time!”

“Best espresso martini in town! Stopped in here before dinner and the service was hands down the best we had all day! The owner of was working behind the bar and he clearly has a passion for cocktails and service! Glad we stopped in!”

“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!”

“Very cool vibe. Outdoor setting, live music but not overpowering. Drinks were tasty and the food was delicious. The only reason the food got a 4 star not a 5 was we only tried a blackened fish sandwich and a fried chicken sandwich, which were both delicious. But we didn't sample anything more than that. The staff couldn't have been any friendlier!Wheelchair accessibility: Appeared to be wheelchair friendly.”

“My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary having a “staycation” in downtown Charleston. Our plan was to put our name in at 167 but the wait was just too long. We stopped at a few bars and looked up local restaurants and landed on Anson, which had a reservation available for 2. We’d never heard of the restaurant but the reviews spoke for themselves.We had such an amazing time. The atmosphere was great. We put down that it was our anniversary on the reservation form and the team at Anson went above and beyond to celebrate - an amazing upstairs table, and a bit of champagne, berries, and whipped cream to wrap up the meal. Peter, our waiter, could’ve sold us on just about anything on the menu. We went with the she crab soup, shrimp de johnes, blackened snapper, and the filet with bone marrow butter. Every bite was incredible. We’ve found our new favorite place in a city full of “the bests.” Thank you Anson!”

“This place is worth the hype! If you’ve got one night in town, spend it HERE! The shrimp and grits pair PERFECTLY with the cornbread and every other dish from our table was bussin.”

“We had a date night/lunch where we scheduled a sitter.Madelyn was amazing. She walked us through our saki choices and made some excellent recommendations. We also got great recommendations for our mealAll in all, probably the best sushi meal I have had in Charleston and we live here so that is saying a lot!!If you're thinking of coming, do it!! You won't be disappointed. And if you get Madelyn as your server, count yourself lucky!!”

“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”
