Sunsets Waterfont Dining- Downstairs

I looked into reviews and was very skeptical about eating here due to the ratings. I must say I was pleasantly surprised! We knew out of the gate that we wanted a view, water front, people watching and either tacos or a good burger for dinner. Parking was scary! As we drove through the mobbed lot we saw car after car with a “boot” on it. Then you scan a sign, put in your card info and pray for the best! Thankfully we did not have a booted car. The hostess was a little off her game but nothing bad. Just seemed confused as to why I was asking for a table, yet the other half of my party was not present yet. He was navigating the parking horror and also seeing if there was a wild wait. Had I been told the wait was wild, he wouldn’t park and we would roll to another restaurant. Seemed very logical to me! She also strongly emphasized that if we chose to sit on the water we could not change our mind and be moved later. Guessing by her emphasis that happens often. We were seated on the water of Shem Creek and had a great view. We loved watching the people, the boats, the wildlife and enjoying the sunset sky. The menu was big and had something for everyone. My one son got a steak with fries, the other mahi with corn/potatoes and broccoli. My husband got a burger and I got fish tacos. The steak was not bad: good flavor and not shoe leather. The fries were really good. The mahi came with a sort of blackening seasoning which for a kid can be a problem. I do wish they mentioned the preparation when telling us what the catch of the day was but otherwise there is no way to know. My husband enjoyed his burger and felt it was pretty good. I LOVE fish tacos and these were okay but not great. They needed a crunch of some sort. There was slaw on it but it maybe sat too long and had no crunch. Maybe some pickled red onion too would’ve really helped. I did love the dirty rice. The cocktails were delicious. I loved the coconut margarita. The service was quick and the waitresses we had were awesome too! Ultimately I would go back again and perhaps order a different dish.

I've wanted to go to Mt. Pleasant to eat lately and found this wonderful restaurant. Gather my female friends and we went for dinner. We ordered 3 appetizers and our dinner food. Needless to say the appetizers filled us it was so delicious. I will return again for date night. Bonus... immediate sitting and it was also right on the water on a cool day.

We grabbed a table downstairs at Sunsets Waterfront Dining and loved the view right on the water. The lobster roll was packed with sweet meat on a perfectly toasted bun, not drowning in mayo, and the crab soup was rich, creamy, and full of lump crab. Caleb, our server, was awesome. He greeted us right away, kept drinks filled, knew the menu, and timed everything perfectly. Portions were generous, prices felt fair for the quality and location, and the vibe was relaxed and friendly. We’ll be back for another lobster roll and that crab soup. Thanks, Caleb.

Enjoyed a sunset dinner on the deck recently. No wait (Wednesday night) and fast service thanks to the lovely Ella who took great care of us. Enjoyed cocktails, the hush puppies and dinner. Only suggestion is less salt on the Shrimp Risotto dish. It was too salty and this is coming from the salt queen who loves salt. Management checked on our table after we got our drinks, very friendly. The bathrooms were not only clean but nicely decorated as what the entire restaurant. You can't beat the views and gorgeous sunset as the boats and paddle boarded pass by.

Fabulous place all around! Food was amazing. The She Crab Soup, Lobster Crab Dip (to die for) and Smack Down Shrimp Tacos (Fabulous!!) along with everything else we got was out of this world. Definitely favorite place we visited in Mount Pleasant SC, Charleston Sc and Savannah GA! Must Go To Place!

Nice place on the water to hangout and have cocktails. Food was average to above average. Staff were very friendly and good. Didn't like being forced to pay for parking to have a meal. Would like not come back.

We were choosing between Tavern, Reds, and Sunset and ended up going there. It smelled nice at that place compared to others and prices weren’t as bad for seafood. Left there $63 with a tip for 2 people. The Grouper fish was so juicy and fresh, loved it! Also, loved the way they do French fries. The Shrimp taco sounded nice on the menu but ended up being not as tasty as I thought. Needed more flavor or spice to it. Waiter was nice and refilled our water in time. Great views and tables for 4 people. Don’t forget to check out their sushi menu — we forgot but I wish I could try the mango tempura spicy roll.

I come to Charleston on annual bases for the last 6 years to visit my friend. This summer I brought my whole family with me (my husband, my two sons: 27 and 21 years old). We all love it! The relaxing atmosphere with fun music, great drinks and tasty food.. it’s a perfect combination! We highly recommend it. #realtorTatyanaMakarov
