“Just amazing WOW blown away!!“

“OMG, The food, service and overall experience was amazing. Dan and the guys behind the bar made sure it was an excellent experience. Will be going back every year on St. Patrick’s day.🍀“

“Highly recommended. Staff were very attentive, and of course the view was amazing. We went just after dusk. Very stylish. Drinks were good. Went for after dinner drinks but menu included food. Slight wait for a table, but the hotel bar had an open space that was nice pass the wait.“

“The atmosphere was nice the food was amazing and the drinks were delicious! Also the dessert was yummy! Nice place to relax eat good food and unwind!“

“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!!“

“Exceptional wine selections in self serve machines and an owner that is extremely knowledgeable about wines throughout the world! Great service and a wonderful positive vibe. I can't wait to go back!“

“Stopped by on a whim. Excellent drinks, good food. Corn bread WONDERFUL surprise.“

“We enjoyed oysters, yellowfin tuna, clam chowder, steak and the fish basket plus some delicious drinks! Service was amazing as well as the entire experience. Highly recommend!“

“We are staying in the hotel and have loved a relaxed afternoon in the lounge. Service is 10 star. All the team are amazing and go above and beyond. If your looking a welcoming place to relax then look no further

Parking: There is a hotel valet service and I think street parking

Kid-friendliness: The cookies are amazing and fresh baked. It is an adult space but children are very welcome.“

“The girlfriend and I were looking for a place to play parts. My girlfriend found Mulligans on Google.

It was a great night the food was good and the bartender was funny and super attentive.

Definitely a place to check out if you want to shoot a game of pool or throw some darts.“

“Dalila's was stop number 2 on our DIY Cocktail Crawl. We were told it was somewhat of a dive bar and very small. Small but MIGHTY! 💪
The atmosphere was fun and unique and the bartenders were friendly.
We were only in for 1 drink, but easily could've stayed longer.
🍹I had the Pin Up from their Happy Hour Menu (Monday - Saturday 5-7pm). It was very reminiscent of a Pornstar Martini, just lacking the vanilla, but this was GOOD! So fresh and so full of real flavor, not just sugar. I'd 100% order again.
🍵 Hubby had The Cougar and also enjoyed it.
They had a Pizza Martini on special that I would've tried but I wasn't feeling savory. Maybe next time?
Definitely put on your list to hit up for happy hour!“

“Unique cocktails; friendly knowledgeable waitstaff“

“Great places to eat and enjoy a good drink and people“

“I've only been there during the day and it was always really nice. Nice group nice crowd bartenders for amazing. Went on super bowl Sunday and they watch the game I just watched the puppy game and went home. Been there a long time now The owner had passed and his daughters are running it definitely visit them it's a great place. I did not order food so I don't know what they have. But I'm sure they have food cuz that's our kitchen. Very friendly

Parking: Plenty of parking behind the restaurant is where you find the bar

Wheelchair accessibility: It is a slab building I think so easy wheelchair slope to get in with wide doors. Outside smoking area very accessible. Nice place“

“Amazing birthday celebration dinner.“

“servicio y frescura en los productos,“

“Great food! You can tell the products are fresh and made with pride! Had the tuna eggroll special, best one I've had! Sat outside but fans were on and was a nice night. Service was good. Will go back when visiting SC again!“

“This place we stumbled upon and I am so glad we did. The staff was so amazing and attentive, Timmy and Damien were so very helpful on pointing out key dishes and cocktails. The wine list is very impressive and not to expensive. We had the eggplant for a starter (yummy) and the Walnut bolognese for our main. Both unbelievably delicious and wow no meat in that sauce!!! Also don’t sleep on the bread and butter, they source fresh sourdough from the local bakery Grit down the street and the butter…….🤤 We loved the staff and the whole experience. We will be back for sure. Thanks for a lovely evening and memorable date night.“

“Gorge was possibly the greatest host I’ve had At a bar. We mentioned it was our first time and he generously gifted us a shot that was absolutely wonderful. Each drink is so layered and personable that I feel like I’m tasting a story. Making this my weekly regular, even if just for Gorge’s superb company. What an incredible team and gem of a speakeasy. I understand what’s it’s like to really taste liquor instead of just consume. Amazing!!!“

“Wonderful ambiance and service. Fantastic drinks!“

“We adored this place! We accidentally found the downtown Charleston location during our stay there at a close AirBNB! We visited 3 times in our 2.5 days there. Then, we passed by the John’s Island location on our way to Kiawah and decided to make the 25 min drive the next morning for our coffee and pop tart fix! Great coffee, service, pastries, toasts and local drink and food finds!“

“Bottom line up front: Amazing food and great atmosphere!

I’ve been fans of Kwei Fei since back in the days of their pop ups at The Daily. They’ve always brought the heat (literally) and have been eager to try this new venture, Beautiful South.

Stopped in for Sunday Brunch and it did not disappoint. The char siu fried rice had that familiar wok char and was on point! Also had the char siu bao, salt and pepper pork, and shumai. It brought back memories of dim sum in the Bay Area (big compliment) but without the old lady that gets mad when u don’t like what she has on her cart! ?

Wish I had taken pics, but honestly was too busy eating!“

“Incredible food with wonderful southern charm. Server and hostess were incredibly courteous. Great service, we had Dillon. I loved the halibut and spouse had the prime rib. Both of us put this food toward the top of our experiences.“

“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!“

“Very cool atmosphere! Very romantic! Live music, great food! Definitely 5 stars from me! ⭐️“

“Great little cocktail bar. Wide variety of drinks. Very intimate feel for friends or a date. I had a passion fruit Paloma which was good but a tad in the sweet side. The bartenders aren’t super chatty but they’re also super busy making drinks due to the variety. Would definitely come back to try more on the menu!“

“I don’t even know where to begin to describe how amazing Ty’s was… my fiancé and I stopped in here with my parents on day 1 of our trip to the area and it did not disappoint whatsoever. From the apps to the dessert, all of our choices were a 10/10!! Our waiter Scott was the best, he alone deserves 5 gold stars! ⭐️ we were even lucky enough to meet Ty and found out we were at the “magic table” that earned us dessert on the house!! Now whether you’re lucky enough to get the magic table or not, you CANNOT pass on the churros!!“

“Always amazing!! Cooking class with Chef Tyler was so fun!! Zero George is our go to in Charleston!“

“The food was great and our server Megan was awesome!!“

“Great customer service and great food!“

“Great meal and awesome waitress“

“Anniversary Dinner. Great food (Snapper Salad, Skirt Steak, Pompano). Service was excellent and pleasant atmosphere. A pleasant surprise. We had never been here.“

“Not sure why this location has a lower rating than the other. I had a great time at both locations and I’m glad I went out of my way to pop into this one. If I was local I’d be a regular for sure! I sat at the bar top and enjoyed my coffee and people watching. The team work and way the staff interacted with each other made it known that it was a well run establishment. Great job, Babas!“

“I don't drink alcohol and I still absolutely loved it! It was more small plates. Lots of cocktail and alcohol options all my friends loved. I think i ate some of every small plate and each plate was delicious!! I have never had caviar before and this was the best way to try it. I loved it! The only thing i changed was i took the caviar off of the cracker they served it on because the cracker almost overpowered the taste of the caviar it was so good. I also loved the caviar over the deviled egg. I can't wait to go back. The chocolate dessert was a hit for every person at the table. 5 star meal.“

“I came here for a quick stop and snagged a very small table outside. They had plenty of more indoor seating available but it was a nice day out. My server was so friendly and we chatted for a while too. This place seems very chill and a good spot to hang out and they had some nice brunch specials. I got 2 glasses of wine and the pork chilaquiles which was very tasty. They two hot sauces she gave me were great! I love the unique options they had for wine as well. Will definitely be back!“

“Rachel was a welcoming and intuitive server! The vibe here was it. I loved the chill music, comfy seating, and real candles. Also, the bathroom exceeded expectations with it’s cloth hand towels, premium toilet paper and fancy air freshener.

Vegetarian options: Whipped ricotta was fantastic.“

“Great staff and great food“

“My favorite place for live music is Charleston. You must see the “Lady and the Brass” band perform there. You will be hooked.“

“Taco Boy is a pretty lively atmosphere with bar-style Tex-Mex. While they may not serve the most authentic Mexican food you'll ever have, it hits the spot. It’s worth noting that it can get quite noisy which is not ideal for anyone looking for a quiet evening - however, it’s a great spot for a fun, casual night out.“

“Loved loved loved! Such a pleasant experience visiting this New York styled gem in Charleston. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, welcoming, and effortlessly cool. The food? Absolutely delicious. What truly made the experience phenomenal was our server, Ansley. She was attentive without being overbearing, genuinely kind, and had fantastic recommendations that made our meal even better. Her recommendation of the friend cauliflower was just as good as she described.
Will be back again!“

“I’m a Texas gal living here in Charleston and I’m particular about my Tacos! Had some friends stay at an Airbnb across the street and it was convenient so I finally went. I’ve now been twice in less than a week. Everything is so fresh. Well flavored. Delicious. Cocktails are lovely. Staff was helpful and attentive both times. Casual, fun, and yummy for my tummy! Go!“

“servicio y frescura en los productos,“

“Dined here back in 2019, but form wouldn't let me select that. It is has since closed (as a result of Covid? I'm unsure.), but so hope it reopens in the future. Lovely upscale dining spot with an old school feel. Fantastic design. Delicious food.“

“The food here is wonderful!!“

“My husband and I went for our anniversary. The food was excellent and the service was superior. Definitely our new spot!“

“Best cocktails in Charleston!“

“The Rarebit…what can I say about the Rarebit? Have you ever visited a place whether it was for vacation or work or just passing through and thought “wow! If I lived here this would be my go to”! This place makes me jealous of anyone that lives here. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this beautiful history filled city and always love southern charm and hospitality but “The Rarebit” will always be remembered from our visit here. The food was delicious!! The service, on a scale of 1 through 10, was somewhere around 23. To be honest, I normally don’t leave reviews but I just couldn’t let this one go. My wife and I hated leaving this fine establishment at the end of our meal…we should’ve stayed longer…maybe another drink or 5…another dessert or an order of wings that I turned down and am now regretting…WTH was I thinking?? Anyway, my lovely wife had just the house salad with balsamic which she called “perfect”! She ordered a side of fried shrimp which was breaded with what was described as breaded with “Charleston Heat”, I have no idea what that is but I would love to know who invented it because that person is a genius! I’d love to shake that person’s hand…fist bump…high 5…maybe a hug and just a friendly “love ya man! What’s your recipe?” I personally had the red snapper special…delicious…perfectly prepared…and the vegetables were out of this world…what man in his right mind says “the vegetables were out of this world”? Weird right? But then again, the vegetables were out of this world…so yeah! Overall great combination of flavors! We are so thankful for this evening meal. The Rarebit is a gem in my mind. I can only end this with a wish that I could visit often…I wish I could try the lunch menu…I wish I lived in Charleston so I could visit frequently and make The Rarebit my “Go To”! Loved our evening and thank you so very much!“

“I booked a small work party and it was so fun! We enjoyed a cocktail outside where everyone broke off into different games and seating arrangements. We booked 2 lanes and bowled a round of duck pin bowling. Great for companies but can’t wait to return with friends and family!! Pro tip: you don’t have to pre book and the outside is my very favorite! Looking forward to brunch with friends out there!“

“Great staff and great food“

“We booked the private room above Vincent Chico’s restaurant for our company meeting. It was an incredible experience. The staff was on top of it with service and communication. The food was also very good. Sometimes, when you have a family style meal, the dishes will not come out at the right temperature. All of our meals came out hot and ready to eat. I was very impressed by the flavor of the food. We had -salad -bruschetta -seared salmon -roasted chicken -seasonal pasta -roasted fingerling potatoes -sautéed spinach -cheesecake bites We also had our own bar upstairs so wine and cocktails were available. It was a great night, and everyone enjoyed themselves. I will definitely recommend and use the space again in the future.“
