"A rooftop seafood house offering both classic seafood plates—ceviche, oysters Rockefeller, and jumbo lump crab cakes with remoulade—and adventurous preparations such as South Atlantic sushi on the half shell, cold-smoked South Carolina wahoo, blackened seafood tacos, and blue crab beignets, plus raw-bar selections." - Erin Perkins
"Opening at 4 p.m. at 16 N. Market St., the rooftop seafood restaurant Balao will offer a menu that sits between a fancy fish house and a raw bar. I note offerings include classics—ceviche, Oysters Rockefeller, and jumbo lump crab cakes with remoulade—as well as less traditional items like South Atlantic sushi on the half shell, cold-smoked South Carolina wahoo, blackened seafood tacos, and blue crab beignets, plus other raw-bar items. Owner Kenneth Emery says he wanted to take advantage of the bountiful seafood surrounding Charleston, and chefs Nathan Davenport and Matthew LeBoeuf plan to use as many Lowcountry products as possible. To visit Balao, enter through Burwell’s, head to the back of the restaurant, and go up the stairs to the second floor; there’s a separate bar upstairs focusing on rum and tequila and a separate menu (no steaks here), and the space is described as a hidden speakeasy serving seafood." - Erin Perkins
"Set to open at 16 N. Market St., the forthcoming rooftop seafood restaurant Balao grew out of Nathan Davenport’s and Human Element Hospitality owner Kenneth Emery’s shared love of the ocean and travel; Davenport, corporate chef of Human Element Hospitality (the team behind Market Street steakhouse Burwell’s), is leading the project. The menu will feature classics such as clam chowder with Clammer Dave’s clams, oysters Rockefeller, and jumbo lump crab cakes with remoulade, alongside less traditional fish-house items like South Atlantic sushi on the half shell, cold-smoked South Carolina wahoo, blackened seafood tacos, blue crab beignets, and a raw bar." - Erin Perkins
