“We visited 1010 tonight (6/19/25) to celebrate my five year remission for cervical cancer. Chef Paul was gracious, accommodating, and generous. Additionally, our server, Chris, was attentive, engaging, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed a small plates surprise, which was delectable, our favorite zucchini ribbons, and squash bisque to start. 10 of 10. No notes. We then shared the special, roasted duck, and the fisherman’s pie. We were mesmerized by the tiny popping peppers in the fishermen’s pie, having never seen/tried them. What a delight. It’s a rarity to experience innovation but Chef Paul has it down. We topped off our culinary delights with a few specialty cocktails, bananas foster bread pudding, and the crème brûlée of the day. My husband might’ve left me for the horchata dessert cocktail. 😋“

“Laury’s provides a phenomenal experience every time we dine here. This is mine and my husband’s go-to dinner for celebrations, birthdays, or just when we want to ensure we’ll have an amazing meal and enjoy the ambiance. I recommend this restaurant to everyone for the ultimate fine dining experience. Laury’s is by far the best dining experience not only in the Charleston area, but I would go as far to say out of anywhere we have dined. Ever. We travel regularly and are always trying out new restaurants, but nothing compares. We have tried nearly everything on the menu and whether you are ordering their least expensive dish to their most expensive steak, you cannot go wrong. Laury’s is truly the best!“

“We need the other french fries back please!!!“

“We were going to go to a different restaurant after a conference but changed our minds after we looked at the menu prices. We found the same extravagantly-tasting food at Hale House for more reasonable fine-dining. Get a reservation, just in case, but we were able to walk in. It's near parking at the city building near the Davidson building, just a couple of minutes walk. Just spectacular: I got the pork chops with homemade au gratin potatoes. The pork chops were grilled perfectly in butter and spices, and the au gratin potatoes are the best I've ever had outside of making the box. Most restaurants cannot do au gratin potatoes and keep the cheese from breaking, but Hale's got it how it should be. My dining partner got an appetizer as an entree, crab cakes deep fried in Angel Hair pasta. It sounds weird, but the traditional crab cakes had a soft texture and the angel hair was crunchy, giving an artistic look and contrasting texture. My dining partner got a small salad, and the two together were a meal. It was $75 with tip, but no drinks or appies/ dessert. The first restaurant we looked at was $75 a PLATE! 😳😳😳 And Hale has a secret speakeasy that is fully decorated historic and the drinks are spectacular. To sum, spectacular, fine dining for reasonable prices, and fun/historic atmosphere to modern grill. I need to go back more often! 💫💫💫💫💫“

“Quick, friendly service. We had a minor issue but the server Jen took care of it immediately. The manager Ian came over and made it obvious that it was a one off and not normal. We left feeling completely satisfied! Excellent lunch/dinner choice near the convention center!! A+++“
