My husband and I wrote a reveiw last year when visiting Charleston, the food is still OK, but the bottom line when we got there we asked for the server we had last time, we were told "we let him go" by the girl at door, how unprofessional! First of all our server who also bartended was what made our... more

I took my wife here for our anniversary this past weekend. The restaurant was located just across from the hotel we were staying at, and was right next to the marketplace. We tried the shrimp and grits as a starter. It was pretty good, as the grits were of a smooth consistency and the shrimp seemed to be local. I... more

I was recently visiting the city w/ my mother for a mother/daughter trip & we chose Anson's for our "fancy dinner out". Needless to say, I was very disappointed.

Good food, refined attitude. more

Anson came highly recommended by our hotel concierge, but problems surfaced from the moment we arrived for our reservation. Despite an almost empty main dining room, the hostess insisted on seating us in an upstairs (second class) room. Our waiter, while pleasant, was unprepared to answer simple menu questions. Our cocktails arrived as ordered, but we all felt they were... more

First time at the restraunt so went with open mind. Chose the restraunt due to wife wanting lamb and it was the closest to the Gilliard. Got there prior to the evening rush (615). Everything about the experience was excellent, and even held a cab for us to go back to the Gilliard. If I had to say something bad... more
