16 Best Seafood Restaurants near Kiawah Island

“Had a really nice meal here recently after not having been for a long time. Everything was excellent, they can certainly deliver on high expectations. This is a steakhouse and if you chose steak here you won't be disappointed. However... if the olive oil poached halibut is on the menu, I think that might be the best thing on the menu. Just an unreal flavor and texture combo, wow.“

“Cuda Co is one of those Charleston spots that never disappoints. Just a quick ride from Downtown, it’s my go-to when I want something fresh that really scratches the seafood itch.

The team is friendly, the selection is always top-notch, and you can tell they take pride in what they do.

As a Downtown Charleston realtor, I love sharing local favorites like this with clients who are new to the area.

Cuda Co is the kind of neighborhood business that captures what makes Charleston living so specia, local flavor, genuine people, and incredible food.“
