We had dinner there last night and the food was AMAZING! The food was fresh and light and the chef did a wonderful job catering to the many different diet restrictions in our group. SO excited to have a dinner option for healthy food here on DI! Highly recommend everyone trying them!!“

“My girlfriends and I booked one of the 'Curated Chef Menus' for a bachelorette dinner recently and had an amazing experience! We had a group of 12 so I booked through their Event Manager and was given a few prix fixe menus to choose from. We went with the Red Sauce is for Lovers package - highly recommend!! The food was absolutely incredible, the portion sizes were great, and everyone left full & happy. My friends are still talking about the roasted cauliflower! And the dessert came out in the cutest little miniature espresso martini glasses. Definitely suggest going this route if you have a large group! Super seamless experience, and the service was great“

“The words Honeysuckle Rose. This place was soo amazing I had to go to google to find new ways to describe it. The food was exquisite!!! The service was top notch. They even took my jacket when I came in. Special shout out to Shane !!! He was the host super knowledgeable on all the wines. The wine complimented the dinner very well this was some of the best food I ever tasted. Super fancy !!! Shout out to Honeysuckle Rose“

“We had a wonderful experience last night at Bearcat. We had a rare "date night" and chose to sit at the bar while electing for the chefs tasting menu. WOW. The food was incredible, the service top notch and attentive. The whole experience was refined - plating, presentation, and even little history lessons while being served - but it was never "poncy" or "snooty" - it felt like anyone could come in, have an INCREDIBLE meal, fun conversation, and become part of the Bearcat family. We'll definitely be back- the scallops dish and the pork belly dish will be menu items I dream of until we return! P S. don't sleep on the cocktails! Whether ordering from the thoughtfully designed menu or requesting something creative from the bar team's minds - you won't be disappointed!“

“I’m a movie critic but I’m also a foodie! I’m picky about my food and service! If you have not been to THE SELECT downtown Charleston—you have no idea what you are missing!!! They have a SCRATCH KITCHEN!!!! I haven’t ENJOYED every single select piece of food in years! It’s better than any restaurant out there!!!! THE BAR IS AWESOME and the cocktail selection is amazing!!! There’s just nothing like it—no restaurant can compete with the quality of food, prices, or service!!!! And…the ambiance…. Just WOW!!!!! The Select - Charleston“

“Service, ambiance, and cuisine all extraordinary! Now one of my favorite restaurants of all time! Thank you Shane and your expert staff!!“

“Vern’s Restaurant in downtown Charleston truly exceeded our expectations and left us with an unforgettable dining experience. The food was exceptional—quite possibly the best meal we have ever had.“

“Best meal, service, and atmosphere we've had in Charleston! All our food was delicious, but the shrimp and grits was out of this world! Best decision we made was to eat there.“

“She crab soup and filet mignon was great. Calamari was a little chewy and a super thick cut. Scallops were a little underdone, which made them chewy. They were plated with a cauliflower puree that tasted a little weird. Service was great. Really neat rustic atmosphere.“

“Yet another great experience at Charleston Grill. We try to come here whenever we visit Charleston. The service is always awesome and the food is great. You get what you pay for... it's not inexpensive. The Crab Cake is always a great appetizer. And the scallops are beautiful prepared. We'll be back!“

“just a great experience, food , wine and service.“

“Food was excellent! Our server was excellent as well. We will be back!“

“I found out about Southbound, through my job. I had to go do some work there, and found the owner and everyone there, super friendly. Most people at restaurants ignore working people while they are there. As my 42nd anniversary was quickly approaching, I decided to give this place a try. Some of my past picks, have not been the best. Southbound cleared EVERY hurdle I have about restaurants. From the moment we approached the restaurant, great service began! While coming thru the gate, the hostess yelled out, "HEY LARRY" and then said, "This must be your beautiful wife"! Like CHEERS, it felt great to go somewhere, "Where everybody knows your name" We were seated and got to view the open fire oven. I had dropped off 42 roses the week before for them to put on our table, for my wife. Tropical storm Debbie, and downtown flooding prevented us from going exactly on our anniversary. I was worried that store bought roses, would not last thru the weeklong delay, Joel assured me everything would be taken care of, and not to worry. As we were seated, there on the table, sat 42 roses. Fresh, and arranged with baby breath flowers included. I was told the young lady with the hostess had arranged them. They were gorgeous! They also had an anniversary card on the table from them, not something I had dropped off. The service was tremendous, the food indescribably outstanding! I have only had steak Tar Tar once before in my life, and was greatly afraid to try it again, as the first time was awful. It was superb! They take great pride in the presentation of their food products. I felt like I was in an episode of Master Chef. We had the steak, as well as the Sea bass, okra, corn, sweet potatoes, and the Caramel cake. Everything absolutely wonderful! This was a truly wonderful and memorable dining experience!! I would give 100 stars, and a Siskel and Ebert two thumbs up! There was only one thing I was disappointed about. No sweet tea! Were In Charleston SC, no sweet tea. Everything else totally made up for it though. The staff even had everyone present sign a menu, wishing us a happy anniversry1 I will most definatly go there again for a special occasion. Thanks to Andrew, Joel, and the entire staff, for making this night special!!“

“Best experience well recommended. Ashley is the best server ever!!!!“

“Excellent service! The atmosphere was an amazing place to grab a drink and/or eat for the evening while socializing.“

“Outstanding meal from the drinks to the she crab soup to the delicious entrees. The key lime pie was a great ending to the meal. Sara was fantastic and made wonderful suggestions for food - she had perfect timing and had just the right amount of conversation with us. Truly a memorable meal and reasonably priced, especially for Charleston. Will be back next time we are in town.“

“Holy crap, Red Palm’s food is fantastic. Service is top notch. Highly recommend . Definitely a must stop in Charleston“

“Loved absolutely everything about this restaurant. The sweet potato fries with vegan ranch were excellent. I had the basic bowl and wanted to just drink the green sauce! The combination of flavors was fantastic. The drinks were amazing as well. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Not just a meal, but an experience. My taste buds are still craving everything at Wild Common. I would go back in a heartbeat. The food, wine som, creative cocktails, and atmosphere are 5 stars!“

“I am not one of those people who post my daily activity or what food I'm eating or rate the places I eat..until now.. I'm from New York so I've had my share of diner muffins.. I go out to breakfast 7 days a week x 365 days a year .. have had my morning meal in several South Carolina establishments..you get the picture. Sunrise Bistro recently hired a a baker, Maddy. I have had a blueberry, lemon, cranberry/orange and nutella/raspberry muffin..I can say without hesitation these are by far the best muffins I have ever had. Maddy is even going to indulge me with a bran muffin. THANK YOU SUNRISE BISTRO .. THANK YOU MADDY!!“

“All I can say is WOW. My sister and I were visiting for a girls weekend and came across The Belmont while walking King Street. From the welcoming staff as we entered seats were made available quickly! Let me tell you- their holiday and their full time cocktails are incredible. We sat at the bar, and James couldn’t have been sweeter-plus can that man make a martini like no other!! The Belmont will absolutely be on our “must visit” next time in Charleston!“

“Had the steak & cheese eggrolls, pulled pork nachos and pineapple passionfruit marg. All so good! Would def come back and recommend to others! 😁“

“Our first visit to Burtons Grill & Bar will not be our last. My wife and I had lunch there before heading out of Mt Pleasant. This restaurant was attractive, the service was great, and the food was exceptional. We enjoyed the Chicken Risotto and General Tso Bowl, which were excellent. Burtons is highly recommended.“

“Great customer service and great food!“

“Great food and service. Chef was very accommodating to a food allergy with alternative prep and substitutions. Grace was a great server. Nice decor and design. Atmosphere was hip and comfortable without feeling uptight. Delicious craft cocktails.“

“If you’re looking for a fancy pre-dinner date night spot, this is it! It’s inside the Charleston Place, a super fancy hotel with plenty of decorations and exploration to do, including a huge model train set and dozens of Christmas trees when we went. The entrance to the Thoroughbred Club also had a grand piano and a harpist, and the inside of the Thoroughbred Club had another grand pianist playing live music. The environment was cozy and old-money, with complimentary fancy nuts. The drinks were great as well.“

“the food and the staff are all amazing! thoroughly enjoyed it!!“

“I truly had a great experience this afternoon at lunch“

“Stacks is a little place with a big surprise. It has a upscale homey vibe and consistently good food. There are options for everyone including my grandson Bair. The fish is always fresh and expertly prepared and the burger and fries are excellent. The tempting specials of the night always makes the choice even harder. We love this place!“

“Delicious gluten free options! I had fish tacos. They were breaded with non gluten breading and fried in a dedicated frier and served on corn tortillas with yummy toppings.

Dietary restrictions: Celiac—gluten free

Parking: Beautiful view overlooking the marsh!“

“Unique cocktails; friendly knowledgeable waitstaff“

“Had a great experience and stay… we enjoyed our time at the pool bar. Bartenders were very engaging and friendly.. great group and they make great drinks. Cozy and quaint.. just wish they played music around pool and not just on the bar side.“

“My favorite birthday cake is coconut. My daughter got me one of your 12 pound coconut cakes for my 70th birthday. Absolutely the best coconut cake I’ve ever had. Highly recommend !“

“Oak has a great reputation for Charleston's best steaks and sides, atmosphere and service. Dining in the heart of downtown Charleston is the crowning gem! Hands down, Charleston's best!“

“Amazing food. Probably the best old fashioned I’ve had. Our server was awesome and so was the manager. My steak was over cooked and they insisted they get me a new one. The one they brought back out was probably the best steak I’ve had in Charleston. We will be back!“

“Shout out to Candice and team for a great event. The planning was easy and the staff was really great. It is hard to manage 200 for luncheon. I did it for many years and there are always little additions or changes the day of and this team handled it all with speed and grace. Events here will not be disappointed. It’s a well oiled machine. Thanks to all! David, Renee, Candice - everyone.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Junction Kitchen, and I must say, it was an experience worth raving about. From their delectable Biscuits & Gravy with Sweet Tea Fried Chicken to their commendable commitment to inclusivity within the LGBTQ+ community, this establishment impressed me on multiple fronts. However, what truly stood out was their unparalleled customer service. Upon encountering a slight delay in preparing my order due to an issue with the gravy, the kitchen manager personally approached me to explain the situation. Not only did he offer alternative menu options to expedite my meal, but he also went above and beyond by ensuring I was comfortable during the brief wait. Despite my reassurance that there was no rush on my end, he generously provided pastries to enjoy while patiently waiting for my dish to be ready. It's rare to encounter such transparency and genuine concern for customer satisfaction in the restaurant industry. The Junction Kitchen exemplifies what true hospitality means, setting a standard that many others could learn from. As for the meal itself, it surpassed expectations. The Biscuits & Gravy paired with Sweet Tea Fried Chicken was a delightful combination of flavors and textures, showcasing the culinary expertise of the kitchen staff. Despite the minor delay, the wait was inconsequential compared to the overall dining experience. In conclusion, my visit to The Junction Kitchen left a lasting impression, not only for its exceptional cuisine but also for its unwavering dedication to providing top-notch service to every patron. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend indulging in a meal at this gem of a restaurant.“
