“Phenomenal food and atmosphere. Get the “dessert bread” appetizer if you come. Had the grouper on special and it was incredible“

“Delicious spot with great price on Happy Hour $1 James River oysters! The guy that brought out the oysters had the sexiest voice I’ve ever heard. The oysters were beyond orgasmic. Get the $3 & $4 ones too…It’s worth it! We also split the scallops which were so good! They also have happy hour drink specials“

“Page states 4 pm open, however when we went in there, paid parking, they told us dinner started at 5pm..only raw bar was open. Highly disappointed! Reservation Only, which also isn't stated on their page. The ratings stars are turned off...I wonder why???“

“Had a spectacular lunch at another restaurant and went over the top with dinner at FIG. Arugula salad + ricotta gnocchi with lamb bolognese + desert of strawberry profiteroles with greek yogurt. Off-the-chart meal capped off an unbelievable food day in Charlestown. If I eat another meal this good in this city I may never leave Charlestown. Wow!“

“Excellent cocktails and oysters.“

“Great creative seafood. One of my favorites every Charleston visit.“

“L'accueil et le service étaient plus que parfait! La nourriture était excellente! Le service de Darren était incroyable et magique! Je donne un 15 sur 10! J'ai eu ma plus belle soirée d'anniversaire à vie au High Cotton de Charleston!“

“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!“

“absolute best sushi and sashimi I've ever had“

“The first bartender told me that Malagon is an accurate representation of a cafw one would find in Spain. I marveled at the hanging ham, the tiled ceiling, and the cozy environment. It gives a nice ambiance. I sat at the bar and felt it was a good location for people watching and to watch the drinks being prepared. I arrived in the off-hours so I walked in with no wait, but I have heard it fills up fast. Malagon is a tapas restaurant which is best experienced with friends. It is hard to get a full experience with one person. I did my best. I ordered the shrimp first which was fine. I found them to be very buttery and garlic forward. I then moved onto the sourdough bread with goat cheese, honey, and a soft chorizo that could be spread like butter. Listen, I never want to know how any meat is processed in a such a way that it is spreadable because in the end it was utterly delicious. I could have ordered two more plates of those. I initially was concerned I would need more bread for everything but it ended up being a perfect ratio of items. The goat cheese was nice and goat cheesy, the honey light and sweet, and the chorizo super delicious. I ended with the jámon serrano. Sure, I wanted the Iberico but I didn't have that in my budget so I moved onto the serrano at the recommendation of the second bartender. It was delicious - salty, tender, cured ham. The little bread sticks offset the saltiness mellowing the dish. The service was solid. The mood was sedate. Everyone was kind. Malagon would be an excellent place to bring two or six people all have similar taste preferences in order to really explore the menu. I left full and content having just scratched the surface.“

“More than courteous servers ! The food was good.“

“Excellent coffee excellent service“

“Great food awesome atmosphere. Service was awesome. Ate at the bar and it was perfect“

“The service, food and atmosphere are outstanding.“

“Great food and service. Our waiter offered suggestions and was attentive. We ordered the smoked fish dip and bread as appetizers, she had the pasta and I had the rice dish. We also had cocktails and wine. All were terrific.I only have one suggestion, to expand or add more variety to the beer list. Not a big deal as everything else was amazing.“

“"Xiao Bao Biscuit is a culinary gem in Charleston, offering a unique fusion of Asian flavors with Southern comfort.

The service is friendly and efficient, adding to the overall enjoyable dining experience. Xiao Bao Biscuit is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore adventurous and delicious cuisine in Charleston."“

“Great bar/lounge in a relaxed setting on King's St. Nice ambiance to kick back with friends over modern cocktails. They take pride in their house made infusions and unique cocktail recipes. Over the top mixtures and formulas make up some of their wild flavorful concoctions! Bartenders are nice as well as the wait staff.“

“Truly one of my favorite restaurants in Charleston. I've been twice and have loved every bite while there. It's a smaller space so if you have a larger group not a bad idea to get a reservation. Also do not sleep on their happy hour - it's a great deal with food and drink. Their Caesar salad is unique and has the best crunch with the seeds addition. We also tried the Korean chicken which was a great share item for the table and packed with flavor. All the pizzas are great but the tiramisu was one of the best I've ever had. I tried to get my husband to go back the next night just to get me one to go. Also - the house ranch and hot honey?! You really cannot go wrong with either. Love everything about Renzo.“

“So for the awesome 1950s vibes, amazing okra fries, and burgers it gets my vote. Plus they have gluten free buns!! However, I tried the Heat of Passion drink and didn’t even finish it. Perhaps I just chose wrong!“

“Alex was just as superb as the food. Recommend this restaurant without a doubt!“

“When you eat at Bertha's, it is like visiting family who have been eager to see you. Before you even open the front door, the aroma of delicious food fills the air and invites you to come in. Once you do walk in, the sounds of laugher and good company let you know that you've shown up at the right place. Savor every moment and be reminded of a what a good family meal really means.When my family and I visited Bertha's, we knew little about it, but we were greeted with the warmest hospitality. We did not feel like strangers, but like another member of the family. And the staff at Bertha's made sure that we were well-fed.The fried chicken was fresh and piping hot. The red rice was bursting with flavor. The mac & cheese was warm and comforting. And each bite of my meal just made me want to have another bite.Thank you, Bertha's Kitchen! It was a meal I will not soon forget!“

“Ms. Roses is a fantastic place for lunch or dinner in West Ashley! Location is convenient for anyone around Charleston, which makes it a great place for meeting friends who live all over town. My friend and I met for lunch. I had the Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich with Sweet Potato fries. Our server was very friendly! Excellent customer service. Looking forward to visiting here again for another special occasion.“

“Delicious biscuits! I had a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit - it was flaky and flavorful. The lady at the counter was friendly, sweet, and kind; she even gave me a sticker, and a card to entice me to come back. I also bought some mixes, and a package of their sausage biscuits (for later). We even went to a nearby Publix store for their pimento cheese (they were out at the shop). Yum!“

“Hall’s Chop House is simply the best of the best. The food, service and atmosphere are all impeccable. We went for our anniversary and we were treated with such care and hospitality. We will always have Hall’s as our go to for any occasion!“

“Wonderful atmosphere. Friendly staff…“

“The food is delicious! The best she crab soup in Charleston“

“Great server, excellent dinner especially the meatballs!“

“Amazing food. Beautiful ambiance. Good service! Highly recommend!“

“Came for lunch today and the food, service and portions were great! Highly recommend the Buttermilk Catfish Sandwich with the sauce that comes with truffle fries instead of mayo!“

“Tried Swig & Swine for the first time and hands down the best BBQ on the beach. Portion size was huge, service was excellent and very affordable. absolutely will be back!“

“Had a solo intimate birthday dinner here, while visiting SC. Wonderful dining experience, service, and atmosphere. To top it off my server told me my whole tab was covered by a complete stranger, who did not want to reveal themselves. If you ever see this review…THANK YOU!“

“Dinner was very good & everyone was so very nice. Had reservations & they seated us at 5. It was Mothers Day& graduation week so they were really busy BUT no one made us feel rushed. We will definitely come back..“

“Do you have a trusted manager who is very reliable and dependable? Hurry up and start your trade with Mrs Craig Vanessa she is the best among all. I have tried 2 of them but she proves me right and helps me gain high profit. So why don't you invest with her so you can start making decent profit on crypto. All I did was to make the first deposit and I made my withdrawal yesterday. I'm so happy and excited please and please hurry up and start earning money for the future now. I'm going to invest for my children. For more information, visit her Facebook Page: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“This restaurant has the most beautiful ambience. It has outdoor seating in nooks and crannies among absolutely gorgeous tropical foliage with fans and breezes keeping it so comfortable. The food is wonderful and the service is superb. It has history and elegance.“

“Being recently diagnosed w/ Celiac's, I was having a challenging finding great food that was gluten free and sage from cross contamination. This place is it! The food....AMAZING! The staff...equally amazing! I would give it 10 stars if I could. It's a cool, funky little restaraunt, w/ delicious food options. You will not be disappointed!“

“Our first visit to Folly Beach and I'm so glad we found gems like Jack of Cups. The Asian fusion dishes are a nice twist but the highlight for us was the absolutely heavenly Ube cheesecake. And I like that the description says it's a 'no nonsense' place. Loved the atmosphere.“

“I was not terribly impressed with my 2 visits to Rodney's Charleston location, especially considering all the hype around it. The original Scott's in Hemingway is insanely good and well worth traveling a great distance for. Rodney's Charleston location, not so much. Everything that I had, both times - the pork and the sides - were simply meh. I wanted to like it, but I really didn't.Update May 2024 - I visited again, and this time I found the food to be quite good! Maybe they had some kinks to work out.“

“First time visit recommended by nephew. Great food, great server and prompt service. Always try to be considerate in not overstaying our welcome when people are waiting to be seated. We finished our lunch having been there a total of one hour , enjoying talk with nephew who we hadn’t seen in months when another employee rudely and abruptly said “so, are you ready to settle up?” Never have we felt like we were being ejected from a restaurant! And the real rub is there were at least 3 empty tables and a booth in our seating area. We three were so stunned by her rude manners, we politely gave her our card, (and she took the liberty of pre-selecting a 22% tip which we gladly gave our server)paid our bill and left - NEVER TO RETURN!“

“My cousin and I were reading the menu outside when our waiter Michael, opened the door and invited us in! We had the best meal of our visit to Charleston! Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection!! The service was southern hospitality at it's best! On my next trip to Charleston Amen Street Restaurant will be my first stop for lunch or dinner or maybe both!“

“I don’t go all the time because I don’t like spending money like that but I really like it here. I don’t love talking I just grab my tea give a nod and take a sip and give a thumbs up it’s an introverts dream. It’s never wrong so I never have to say anything.It’s nice to have somewhere so peaceful next to work. Makes me remember I’m human again or something.“

“We love Edison! There has not been one thing that we have had that wasn't amazing! Half price wine night is our fav!“

“We had a fantastic visit at the bar tonight for my birthday! My mom is Celiac and I can’t tolerate gluten- great meals!! We highly recommend, very special food and service.“

“I love sitting at the bar having dinner and a drink. There is always someone to talk to and the staff are awesome people.“

“Stopped in for a few drinks after dinner and this place was perfect for our girls night.Live music was being played in the corner by a solo musician that set a quiet tone while an old Mel Gibson flick played on the wall on the opposite side of the bar. The mood was quiet , quirky and sophisticated. It was refreshing from the “college kid vibe you get from most places after 9pm DT .“

“Great diner with friends. Great service. Pricey for the food which was good, but not top notch. I had the scallops and was surprised to seem them prepared in a brown sauce which I really didn't care for. Perhaps I just didn't read the menu description throughly. Rib eye was very good, but very pricey.“
