After waiting five years to eat at the Charleston, I finally had dinner there last night as my fiance and I celebrated a special event. It was well worth the wait. First, it was refreshing that the bartender was knowledgable about wines. I tasted two reds and discovered a new favorite. Throughout the evening the service was impeccable. The staff... more

Unbelievably pretentious and the food was mediocre. Our server kept referring to the items on the menu as "gorgeous". My husband and I were like, how are grits gorgeous? We expected it to be pricy, but thought we were being "punked" when our bill was over $300.00 and we left hungry. Avoid!!! more

I had filet, ahi tuna, duck, and crab cake in the same meal. The tuna and duck were the best. I recommend tasting the cheese plates. I have never... more

My fiance and I went to Charleston on a whim -- and were pleasantly surprised! As we pulled up to the restaurant we immediately thought the place was stuffy and over pretentious, but we were far from wrong. From the moment we stepped foot inside, we were greeted with warmth by the host, bartender, the waiters, sommelier, etc. For example,... more

My husband and I were very excited to try this new experience. We were prepared for the hefty pricetag, but not prepared to leave the restaurant hungry. The service was excellent, as well as the wine, however the food left something to be desired. The servings are literally two-bite size. Even if you were to select a six course meal... more
