Edison James Island

This is a great date night spot and much closer than going downtown (and far leas traffic). We made a family night of it and from the moment we walked through the door we had a great experience. The brussel sprouts were a great starter and the steak frites hit the spot and I had leftover steak for breakfast the next day. My daughter loved the Edison bulb for dessert and I managed to find room for some cheesecake. The atmosphere and ambiance is cozy without being pretentious, despite the upscale food and wines. Definitely give them a shot if you’re in the area.

Great upscale neighborhood vibe. Service is amazing! Appetizers and entrees were phenomenal. Highly recommend the bacon wrapped dates and chicken & waffle dish. The desserts were okay, for as outstanding and flavorful as the apps and entrees were, the desserts were not as flavorful. Blander without much of a flavor profile and depth. I would still highly recommend Edison's tho, for the apps, entrees and atmosphere.

I had the most delightful experience at this hidden gem tucked away in the heart of James Island! From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for the evening. The cozy, charming vibe of the restaurant made it feel like a true escape, and I could instantly tell that attention to detail was a priority here. The food was absolutely incredible – each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. It’s clear that the chefs put a lot of love into their craft. The menu has something for everyone, and everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. What really stood out, though, was the impeccable service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. I felt like a valued guest from start to finish. Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit! Whether you're a local or just passing through, it’s the perfect spot for a cozy meal with great food and even better service. Can't wait to return!

Food was delicious and reasonably priced at 20 - 30 for entrees. Service was excellent and it’s spacious enough to have quiet conversations.

My most favourite restaurant, not only in James Island, but in all of Charleston. I’ve been a customer since the day they opened and have been more times than I can count and can honestly say I’ve never had a bad meal at Edison. Everything on the menu is incredible. I’m constantly talking this place up to friends and coworkers when they have loved ones in town or just for a great date night spot. Chelsea and Joel are the sweetest souls on the planet and the entire waitstaff are amazing. Stop reading reviews and just book a reservation!

Dog friendly with outdoor seating. Table service. This place has really good butter bean soup. A nice charcuterie board option for apps, along with fried oysters. 1/2 price wine on Wednesday.

Definitely one of the best restaurants in the entire Charleston area. A table on the deck is a real treat when the humidity is down and the temperatures are mid eighties. Everything was delicious and made fresh to order so that any changes or allergy requests can be accomodated. They also use only NON latex gloves, good news for those with latex allergies. Certainly a gem on St. James Island! Definitely make reservations, as everyone who knows does, and non reserved tables are only for the early bird and late night diners.

Valentines day special was phenomenal. Every dish was amazing. We drove 1 hour to eat here and it didnt disappoint.

I would get a solid 3.5. I came here on a Wednesday with my mom, which is wine Wednesday so all bottles of wine are half price which was a great deal. We sat on the patio in May so it was a really nice night. Beware of the bugs with all of the lights once the sun goes down though. We did end up having to move inside. I had, the braised short ribs which was decent. It came on grits so the texture was an interesting one. With nothing substantial to crunch on it was a very mushy dish. My mom had the Moroccan salad with salmon, which was delicious. Our server was amazing and helped us move inside after the bugs came out. When we did decide to move inside, we ended up getting the chocolate bulb, which was a very pretty presentation!

We recently dined at Edison James Island and had an outstanding experience. Our server, Joshua, was a delight--friendly, fun, and extremely helpful. He provided interesting background on the food, the restaurant, and even shared a bit about himself, making our visit even more enjoyable with his genuine and pleasant demeanor. The food was a highlight, offering refined and complex flavors that were truly memorable. We started with the tender Chicken Fried Oysters, perfectly balanced with remoulade and yellow sriracha. The Fromage & Fig, with its whipped goat cheese and fig jam, was light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. The main courses were equally impressive. The star of the show was the Blackstrap Braised Beef Short Ribs, featuring wonderfully tender beef, a flavor-packed Blackstrap BBQ sauce, and creamy Gouda Grits. Additionally, the unique Tuna special dish with Ramen noodles was both creative and tasty. The atmosphere at Edison James Island was energetic, warm, and casual, creating a perfect setting for our delightful meal. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience that we look forward to repeating.

Excellent, upscale food, yet casual restaurant that is off the beaten path. You can find Edison's not far out of the way, but clearly off the beaten path, in an older neighborhood on James Island. Edison's is a Quiet Atmosphere so you can hear conversation, with tables not sitting on top of each other. There is also outdoors, that would be really nice in the spring/fall or after the sun goes down. Service was very friendly, although we both thought the food came out a little to quickly for us to just relax and enjoy the atmosphere and conversations. The wife and I split 2 appetizers that included: 1. Vietnamese Pho Tacos. This is exactly as described, a bowl of Pho, (Without the broth), with small chunks of Pork, glass noodles, cilantro, sprouts, ginger aioli, sriracha and a splash of Hoisin Sauce. The wife claimed it to be the best Taco she ever had, and would have been happy just with a few of these for her main dinner 2. A plate of perfectly fried oysters, on a bed of corn remoulade, with a spicy pickled okra we both really liked, and a spicy yellow sriracha. This was a well-balanced yummy dish. For our main dinner the wife ordered the Pan Seared Scallops. The jumbo scallops had a great sear and served at the right temperature. They were served on toasted pearl pasta and a green potato-leek puree. I can't ever remember having toasted pearl pasta, but they added a good and unique texture I ordered the Blackstrap Braised Beef Short Ribs. Something else new and amazing to my pallet was Blackstrap BBQ. These Short Ribs were as tender as can be, and the BBQ sauce had a wonderful Salty yet sweet flavor. The bed of Gouda grits was creamy and out of this world. There were bits of crispy Brussels sprouts that was perfect with the BBQ sauce. And to top this all of there were real homemade onion rings. I just loved this dish All and all a wonderful dinner.

The Edison is somewhat hidden on James island but the food and service are great. Not busy on weeknights.

Would give this place 3.5 stars if I could. Not quite worthy of 4. Ambiance is nice. I enjoy the renovated house style restaurant. Went Friday evening and was able to get two seats at the bar. Bartender was friendly but interesting that there is no liquor available. Ordered the chowder and the braised short rib and grits. Chowder was good. Wouldn't order again. Braised short ribs with the grits was good but would not order again. But it lacked a certain distinction to warrant price tag.The flavors were slightly muddled. Nothing that cut through and left me impressed. Almost forgot. Had a slice of the key like pie for dessert. This I would not recommend. Too dense to an almost gummy quality. Supposed to be blackberry combination from key lime pie but that left much to be desired. Friend ordered the steak frites. Was unimpressed by cook quality. Brown ring on outside and overly raw on inside. Would like to see more care for the dishes. Overall would come here but maybe just for a glass of wine

How did I miss this place? Great food and close to Folly. It is am absolute must. It is southern food meets a real chef to create something special. A big focus on local ingredients. I loved my swordfish dinner, which is only available in season. So fresh that I could have cut myself on the sword. Haha. My wife's shrimp and cavelli was amazing. A delicate sauce that brought out the flavor of the shrimp. This is worth a trip here alone. My daughter said that she had the best fried chicken and waffles ever! Since she has been tasting them for a while now, she has a point of view.

Ambiance. Waitstaff. Owner. Food. Allowed dogs! Started this review 2 years ago and it never posted so it's not current. Lol whoops

I went here with my husband and my parents when we visited them in Folly Beach. It was only a 13 minute drive. They had local beer options and some nice wine options. They do half off bottles of wine on Wednesdays which is nice. My Mom had the chicken harissa special. Chicken thighs with harissa and couscous. It wasn't very spicy which is nice. My Dad had the burger. My husband had the chicken and waffles and I had the short ribs. The portions are pretty large, we easily will get two meals out of the dishes. I also ordered the pistachio and strawberry crepes for dessert. It was pretty intensely sweet, but I was really thrilled to see a southern restaurant taking a chance like this. If crepes aren't your thing, they have several other sweet options. There is a patio outside with twinkle lights that looks lovely for next time. Things to consider, they don't have a liquor license because they are very close to a school, it can be quite loud (all three of the people I was with wear hearing aids), so it can be tough to hear. And, they discourage substitutions on their dishes unless there is an allergy.

The food was outstanding. Plenty of gluten free options available as well. Thoroughly enjoyed the crab gnocchi, and the strawberry pistachio crepes for dessert were a flavor combination I never thought to combine, but is now one flavor profile I'm obsessed with! My only critique is, as an LGBTQIA+ couple, we felt a little out of place and not entirely welcome by certain members of the staff (particularly the host). Nonetheless, would still recommend this place for an outstanding meal and overall, great atmosphere.

We had a nice time here, a little different than we expected. The layout is a little confusing when you first walk in, but the service was good and the food was interesting. The tacos for instance were really tasty with the glass noodles making me wonder why more places don't add an asian flair to their tacos. The salmon entree was good as well. Since they are located close to a school they can't have a full bar, but they do have beer and wine. Not too fancy but a step up from other places.

Great neighborhood dining location. Their atmosphere is on the upscale side and they offer a nice wine and beer menu. Their menu is full of casual dining choices and prepared to perfection. For the tourist, you have a chance to taste some local flavors. On nice days, there is outdoor seating. Our dinner experience was pretty good, although the server did not hear me order a soup with my dinner. The pasta was perfectly al dente.

Great meal and restaurant is lovely Accommodated our party of 8 on Saturday night . Everyone enjoyed the evening. Services great ! Off the beaten path for Charleston visitors but well worth the. Short trip from downtown !!

We decided to have a nice family dinner close to home and Edison was what we decided to go with. First and foremost the ambiance of this place is terrific. As the name suggests Edison is themed after Thomas Edison and his various inventions were depicted throughout the restaurant in a classy way. The service was also stellar, as everyone in the restaurant seemed to help out each other and there was never a moment without someone close by. We decided to get some favorites from reviews and went with Fromage and Fig for appetizer, the braised short ribs, the crab gnocchi, and my son got fried chicken. The Fromage and Fig was amazing. It was a sweet and savory and delicious. The crab gnocchi was off the charts. It came in a tasty broth that I requested a spoon to get every bite. My wife got the short rib and although she thought it was a little rich for her, I thought it was fantastic. It's a dish I will get next visit. My son's fried chicken was perfect and he enjoyed it immensely. I stole a bite and it was very tender and delicious. Finally desert we got the chocolate bulb. A nice little ode to Edison's light bulb. It comes out as a chocolate shell and then the server poured a hot caramel over top which melted the chocolate revealing a brownie and ice cream. It was a hit. I recommend this restaurant to anyone that is looking for downtown quality without the downtown.

We've been coming here for years! Great customer service and delicious food! It's one of our favorite date spots.

Love this place! What a great evening to sit outside. They provided little fans for the table to keep the flies away (bonus)! And Wednesday's are half price bottles of wine (Double bonus)! We started with the Moroccan Salmon salad.. this could have been a meal, but we split it. Great salad with a combination of arugula-frisée salad mix, dates, walnuts,feta and a wonderful light dressing. For dinner I had the Braised Short Ribs. They were cooked to perfection served over smoked Gouda grits. It was delicious, however I would have preferred alittle less BBQ sauce. My husband had the pan seared scallops - he said they were cooked perfectly! We tried the strawberry crepes for dessert... alittle too sweet for me but they were good. The service was great and we will be back!

Beautiful little restaurant, amazing detailed service and unbelievably good food. Not too expensive for date night, but should be noted they don't have a full bar: only beer and wine. Overall loved this place and will be back. The pho tacos are a MUST try.

Not for everyone, but all of my friends rave about it. This restaurant is definitely a decide for yourself kind of place. Been here about three times and each experience was different (food wise). Check it out and see what you think.

Blown away by this restaurant! Can't believe I didn't make it there sooner! Atmosphere is perfect for date night or a nicer night out with family or friends. It's just a bit of an industrial decor (hence the name) but feels cozy and the outdoor space is just charming. Service was great, staff was attentive and checked in on us frequently and felt like they were adding a personal touch in the conversations. Food was incredible. The Thai chicken noodle soup was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The fromage & fig appetizer came with the right amount of bread and was an explosion of rich flavors - our server told us this was also often ordered for dessert. The Tuscan chicken gnocchi was flavorful and a generous portion. The Moroccan salmon salad was a perfect combination of sweet, tangy, salty, and crunchy with a large piece of salmon. I already can't wait to come back! The brunch menu also looks super creative!

Favorite restaurant on James island! It was right down the street so incredibly convenient. There's outdoor seating which is great if you don't might the heat. We ended up sitting indoors since it was June. Indoor can get a little stuffy so don't worry about bringing a jacket. We started off with some appetizers which really set us up for high expectations. We went with the Tandoori Chicken Skewers which had a refreshing raita sauce (Indian yogurt sauce). If you are unfamiliar with it, I would say it's similar to tzatziki but a thinner consistency. We also ordered the Salmon Rillette which was topped with capers and came with crisp pita chips. Super light and delicious! We also ordered the Vietnamese Pho Tacos which was actually fairly spicy! If you're craving pho but don't want to down a bowl of steaming pho in this heat, these tacos are a great alternative. Now after these apps I wasn't expecting my entree to outshine but boy was I wrong. I ordered the Blackstrap Braised Beef Short Ribs -- WOW. I don't think I've ever had a more tender and flavorful short rib in my life. It was so juicy and just melted in my mouth. It paired well with the bbq sauce and the smoked gouda grits. The cherry on top was the two crispy onion rings -- well seasoned and added that perfect bit of crunch. I will be coming back here specifically for this dish. Not only was the food absolutely delicious and worth the price, but our waitress was so friendly and attentive. She really made us feel at home. I can't wait until the next time I'm back in town so I can try the rest of the menu!

This little gem is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood on James Island. I love the vibe of the restaurant - very clean, bright, fancy, and full of people pretty dressed up/celebrating occasions. The menu is super unique and offers a variety of foods and prices. We started with the Tandoori skewers which were fantastic. I ordered the Edison grilled cheese, which was OK, but nothing special. It was described as a truffle butter grilled cheese, but I didn't taste any truffle in the dish. The herb fries were fantastic and came out piping hot. My husband got the seafood and grits which he described as 10/10. Our server convinced us to try their famous Edison bulb dessert, which I thought was very fairly priced at $10. A chocolate bulb covers a scoop of ice cream on top of a brownie. The server pours hot caramel over the chocolate bulb which then melts into a delicious mess. I loved the theatrics of the dessert and of course it was also delicious. This would be a fun place to celebrate a birthday/anniversary! Service was outstanding - I felt so welcomed and it seemed like the servers were passionate about their jobs.

absolutely fabulous food in my opinion. Very unique not run-of-the-mill. The owner is the chef and the staff is experienced. It's also very busy and seems to be heavy to local customers not tourists. Quiet residential neighborhood plenty of parking great option Especially liked the goat cheese and fig spread on the croissants as an appetizer. I would get it every time

Edison is a terrific restaurant on James Island, with great and inventive lighting and excellent food. The meals are all fresh and colorful, and the famous dessert light bulb is unforgettable!

Great service and outstanding food! Try the short ribs with grits. Our server was very informative and had good suggestions.

This restaurant boasts a comfortable atmosphere, delicious food and a charming wait staff.

What a lovely experience we had at this restaurant. I had read the positive reviews and since we were spending a few days on James Island, we just had to try it. They did not disappoint. We were fortunate to have DJ as our server. She was delightful and quite helpful with food and drink suggestions. I appreciated how readily available she was without being intrusive. It felt like making a new friend! Aside from the amazing food (I had the Wild Mushroom Melt, which was the stuff dreams are made of, and my husband had the Bistro Steak Salad.) and wine, the restaurant had a lovely, relaxed feel. One thing that struck me was how happy the staff seemed to be! You don't always see that. I recommend this place and look forward to our next visit!

Edison is AMAZING! Very comfortable place: great staff who are attentive. Definitely get a reservation and go on Wednesday for half priced wines. Also, the Mahi Mahi main is a MUST!!

I need to dine here more often! Such a charming place, both inside and on the cute patio. The service is incredibly friendly - we felt like we were visiting kind neighbors. The menu is eclectic and interesting. We kept it simple tonight with a delicious mushroom melt sandwich, hamburger and soup. The Edison light bulb dessert is a show stopper! I've had multiple views of it on Instagram. Plus it's very delicious! This restaurant is a very special local treasure - don't miss it!

Nice place. Out of the way but worth it. We tried the Chicken Fried Oysters, so good. I had the Delicata Squash salad with Grilled Tuna. Mmmm! With feta a pomegranate seeds and a light dressing it delivered. My partner had the Short Rib entrée with grits and roasted Brussels sprouts. He enjoyed it, but it was a little salty. Eat here y'all! I will be back

Always an amazing experience! Edison is one of my favorite James Island restaurants - an upscale casual feel makes it perfect for a celebratory event or just a meal out. I've had most items on the menu and love it all the brisket and grits were full of so much flavor and the poke bowl was incredibly fresh

very good atmosphere and food was good and staff was nice 10/10 would recommend (get the chocolate bomb)

Sorry to say that as hard as they try to present the food it's a hard no . I ordered tuna and when it was delivered I couldn't even see it in the dish . The sides are alacart and not that good, I'm no chef , maybe if the tuna was sliced and presented better it will make a difference. Wasabi was no where and the Mexican corn salad was cold , hmm hope it gets better for the customers that live here .

Reservations in tow, we arrived for Sunday brunch at Edison James Island and were seated inside upon arrival. The tables were socially distanced and everyone had on masks. The cutest restaurant with Edison lightbulbs and décor, yes the inventor with over 1000 patents! We started with a carafe of pomegranate juice mimosas, they also have peach Bellini, classic orange and cranberry. For eats we ordered the Low Country Hash with smoked sausage, mushrooms, spinach, potato and egg. Amazing plate, with the different layers and textures. The sausage was very good, with a smoked flavor to it. My honey loves mushrooms so he gobbled this right up! I ordered the Smoke Salmon Pizzette with herb boursin cheese, two scrambled eggs, arugula and capers. Very good and fresh, this is pretty much a play on bagels and lox. We had a great time here, the service was phenomenal - our server let us take our time at our table. The area the restaurant is set in, is so green, it's not in a strip mall or open parking lot, nothing like that it's very beautiful!

Great food from an inspired chef!! Attentive servers and timely food. Always our first choice for a nice meal.

We called Edison after arriving on James Island late - pretty much a shot in the dark on a Thursday night, but much to our delight, they had a table "if we could get there quick" - wonderful after a long drive down from Asheville. Table service was friendly and very professional. Promptly seated in a crowded dining area - "busy", but not so noisy that we could not have a private conversation. Started with the Pho Tacos - tasty but a bit short on the pork. She had the Tuna Poke Bowl, I had the Short Ribs - both dishes we delish; great flavors, perfect portions, WOW!! No bar service, only beer and wine. The wine list is good, but when you are looking for a dirty martini and glass of fine wine is just not the same, no matter how good it is - that costs them a star. The so-so appetizer did not help either, but the entrees were outstanding - great food and a fiar value. We will definitely be back soon.

I really liked the menu and the incorporation of so many fresh ingredients. My husband was really unimpressed with the ambiance/decor of the patio and the fish (wahoo) being overcooked.

Never a bad meal at Edison. Ordered take out and enjoyed the Duck Confit and Dumplings. Even in a take out box, it was presented beautifully, was a very generous portion, and the gravy was out of this world. My husband got his favorite, the fried chicken sandwich. The flavors the chicken sandwich packs are one of the best I've had.

Food is delicious and fresh; we love their Sunday brunch; specially the half off bottles of wine! Service is always attentive and prompt. Would recommend to large groups and couples alike. There is outside sitting and plenty of parking.

Considering Charleston is a hub for culinary excellence, we were shocked that the Edison wasn't recommended to us in any of our inquires, and even more shocked to find it's not listed on any of Charleston's best. The fact that it's on James Island is only a technicality- the drive over is worth it and might be presumptions of me to state but , this was THE best meal(s) we had while visiting. Only discovered through a simple Yelp search, we felt we were going out on a limb making reservations at a restaurant unfamiliar in all of the suggestions we received. It was easily the best decision we made (even more so than feeding stingrays, but that's for another review). Located in a pretty quiet neighborhood, The Edison stands as the only restaurant within a 2 miles radius (I could be wrong on that, but distance isn't my strong suit). Reservations are highly recommended considering the we picked up the last one on both of our visits. It seems to us the menu is seasonal - we didn't even ask. But perusing over the menu, we exchanged many glances- the combinations described on were unique and prior to ordering, we knew we might be in for an experience. On our first visit we opted for the Fromage & Fig as our appetizer. Served with the best crostini I've had, which had a nice give as opposed to the crunchy crostinis I'm not very partial to, a nice portion of goat cheese topped with fig spread and micro greens- this dish easily set the tone for the rest of our dinner. Deciding on an entree was no easy venture, but with the assistance of a most gracious server (Paula, we love you), we ultimately decided on the Steak & Frites and the Chicken & Waffles. As the dishes made their way onto our table, it was clear they put pride in their presentation. Gorgeous colors and appetizing combinations, eager to dig in (but keeping realistic expectations), we drove our forks into our meals. The minute we each took a bite of our meal, we shared yet another look- something between amazement and surprise. When I say the steak was cooked to *perfection*, it is in no way an exaggeration. The fries, which sometimes can be an overlooked complement in this dish, were spectacular. Accompanied by their homemade ranch (did I mention- best ranch ever?), whoever seasoned these fries deserves an award. Chicken & Waffles is a staple dish in the south, but I can say The Edison has this down to an art. Flavorful, crispy fried chicken (unlike the chicken we had the misfortune of having had earlier at a highly recommended restaurant which shall not be named), you must include the waffle and a generous spread of the cholula butter. Each bite is a little slice of nirvana, and you'd be robbing yourself if you don't order this. I would say we ate this silence, but the occasional "oh my god" and "I can't believe this" filled the silence between our bites. Even though there was absolutely almost no room for dessert, there was no way we could leave without tasting whatever sweet delectable they had to offer. Of course we were completely indecisive, and thankfully Paula took the wheel. The Edison Chocolate Bulb made its way over to our table, and I'll be honest- I'm not big on layers and layers of chocolate so I was skeptical. I was again proven wrong. The chocolate from the globe was smooth, it almost melted on your tongue. The brownie was the perfect amount of chewy and the vanilla bean ice cream is a most necessary complement. We couldn't have asked for a better finale to the most impressive meal we had in Charleston. We immediately ran to Resy to make a reservation for the next night, and there was one spot left at 6PM. Accommodating our plans was not even a question- we had to sample more of the menu. As this review has turned into a small novel, I will leave you with this - we returned to that famous southern hospitality, as our server Paula received us with a hug and a heart-warming smile. We left one of our dishes for our server to decide and of course we were not let down. I asked if there was any way to create a mocktail, and they gracefully created what Paula jokingly called the triple A. We opted for a different dessert- a pear & ginger crumble, accompanied with vanilla bean ice cream per a very enthusiastic suggestion. While it cannot compare to the Edison Chocolate Bulb, a best seller for a reason, we can't leave The Edison disappointed. If you've made it this far, here are my personal recommendations (based on our limited tasting of the menu): the Fig & Fromage is easily the gateway to the rest of the meal, please order the fries & ranch, The Bulb will truly blow your expectations and lastly- listen to Paula, under her sweet demeanor is clearly a foodie eager to share her flawless recommendations.

Visited this charming establishment for dinner this evening. Dinner, service and atmosphere were all delectable! Genuine service provided by the best waitress on James Island, Ariel. From appetizers to desserts the prices are reasonable and the flavor is huge! Definitely recommend!

Service is wonderful, great suggestions with pairings, extensive wine choice- would definitely return! Such a cute outside patio as well

Absolutely delicious and such great service! We had a bigger group and we're very well accommodated. Waitress was super patient and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting SC!

This restaurant was incredible!! The ambiance was very relaxed and mellow. Our server, Nick, was very kind and prompt. And the food was some of the best I've had in a LONG time!! I will definitely be going back. Special for the day was stuffed flounder, I loved it.

I recently had brunch on a Sunday at Edison and it was very tasty. We ordered a couple of mimosa carafes and had a great time. The restaurant wasn't too busy since we went around 12pm. I got the smoked salmon pizzette and it was phenomenal. Highly recommend and will definitely order again next time I return.

I really enjoyed my brunch here! I got the quiche and grits which were delicious! I usually don't like grits but these were exceptional! The ambiance is very nice definitely a quieter vibe which would be great for a nice date night or family brunch

I had an amazing meal here with my wife. Shrimp and grits were on the menu that night and they were fantastic! I was blown away by the customer service and loved the ambiance. Also appreciated that they took reservations. Definitely pay this place a visit!

Worth a double try on our Charleston trip. Just an excellent little restaurant serving tasty, superior quality dishes at very reasonable prices for the quality. The $9 "bowl" of chowder is small but one of the best flavored chowders I've had in many years. The goat cheese appetizer was terrific. The $13 chicken sandwhich was wonderful. The fries were pretty good but not anything special. My wife loved the $16 salmon salad and said one of the best versions of that she's had anywhere. The $10 key lime desert was good, not great. Wasn't a huge fan of the $16 fried oysters (3 of them, kind of tough). Outdoor seating is absolutely lovely is weather is nice, but they also have lots of tables inside. 1/2 price bottles of wine on Wednesday are always a hit. Just a really good meal at a fair (not cheap!) price.

This place was great. Great service, nice ambiance. The salad I got was perfect. I got the braised short ribs and it was good. Not perfect but good. I would definitely come back.

Great find. The staff is amazing and the kids menu it great. Most places have just a burger or chicken tenders. Here your kid actually can have great food. The meals all were great and priced well. We will be back over and over

Valentines Day exclusive update revisited this restaurant because it was so good and once again they did not disappoint. This time it was four course meal I will go though each course and give my honest opinion as always . First course lobster bisque and chilled Yuzo oysters their are two of the items because my husband ordered as well so my lobster bisque was a more different rendition than I am accustomed to it was not bad it just did not have enough whipping cream and cherry and white wine however the details of the plate was the same. My husband appetizer Chilled Yuzo he loved especially the salmon style caviar now he stated the flavors in his appetizer was amazing. Course 2 which was the Edison Caesar and bresaola carpaccio the Cesar was light and with just the right amount of dressing and I loved the fresh bread topping that was very unique and on point my husband salad was unique in flavor with the dressing bringing all the vegetables together perfectly. Course 3 Duck ravioli this was so good excellent texture flavor and just splendid my husband had lobster and shrimp polenta this dish was almost like a shrimp and grit but with so much flavor and seafood my husband enjoyed it and I did also. The final corse which is four the dessert we both had the same dessert and it was the chocolate espresso cheesecake it was simply an amazing dessert my husband loved it i devoured my dessert everything was excellent another great chop chief and I will be back soon.

Great place! We had two short rib dishes, chicken and waffles and a shrimp pasta with a goat cheese honey appetizer. We also shared a blue cheese salad. Service was great. They have 1/2 off wine on Sunday and Wednesday . The brunch menu looked great. Service was nice. The atmosphere was contemporary but warm. We all enjoyed our meals and decided it's a must return. Only downside was no spirits or draft beer but we decided we'd just have a martini at home!
