Charleston GrillWhat a beautiful restaurantWhat a beautiful restaurant - first class in every respect. And the live guitar/violin music was a joy to listen to. This is Charleston's finest.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMTop Shelf!In a town known for food and great dining venues....this one is a homerun! I guess that is why they have a 4 star dining award. The food which is the heart of every dining experience was incredible and the service was just as outstanding as you would hope and expect. This is a "do not miss, must experience" dinner. If you love quality, flavor, service, presentation and an outstanding dining experience, you should have made your reservation 10 minutes ago!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAbsolutely loved it!A dining experience that can not be beat! Each bite is a work of art!!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellentI made a note when i booked the reservation that it was our anniversary. We were greeted and congratulated that it was our anniversary, a card on the table for our anniversary, and the servers all congratulated us as well. The service was impeccable, Charleston Grill is the epitome of FINE dining. The attention to detail and courtesy even as you walk through the restaurant is phenomenal. After an excellent meal, complimentary candies were provided with a chocolate "Happy Anniversary as well". A truly wonderful experience that will keep us coming back.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful!My husband and I went to the Charleston Grill for our anniversary. I had the pear salad and the flounder with shrimp and grits. My husband had the potato soup and tenderloin. We shared a side order of cauliflower. Everything was prepared to absolute perfection. My flounder was slightly crispy at the edges and perfectly cooked, served with 3 nicely seasoned shrimp on top of a delicious bed of grits - yum! My husband's tenderloin was amazingly tender and very flavorful. The cauliflower was delicious - even according to my husband who isn't a cauliflower fan. They have a nice wine list including a good variety of upper end wines in the half bottle sizes. The ambiance was just right for our romantic dinner and we really enjoyed ourselves.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome as everCharleston Grill was awesome as ever.Made the trip from va for 7 aniversary.2nd time there.Always GREAT!Never disappoints!!!5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic Tasting MenuWe have tried this menu several times, from beef orientation, seafood, now vegan!

Steak tenderloin, salmon were excellent.5/6/2013 12:00:00 AMYou can wear business casual!We live in Charleston but had never eaten at Charleston Grill. We enjoy going to fine dinning restaurants. We called Charleston Place and asked about attire and a young girl told us "black tie"! "OMG!", I said, "we need to cancel our reservations, we are not prepared for black tie". The young girl transferred me to the restaurant. The restaurant desk pleaded with me not to cancel and said it was not black tie. The recommended gentlemen attire is at least a jacket but a tie is not required. She said some people will show up in jeans (not appropriate to me). So we went in our nice slacks, scarfs, dresses and sports jacket. We were dressed fine and was told so by hostess. So glad we went! Thanks Charleston Grill for a great dinner!5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful Charleston GrillGreat food and service, great jazz, and beautiful setting.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AM1st Wedding AnniversaryWe stayed at the Charleston Place Hotel on our wedding night, so we thought dining at the Charleston Grill on our 1st anniversary would be the perfect idea - and it was. They gave us a very nice, intimate corner table overlooking the courtyard, and they also placed a greeting card wishing us a happy anniversary on our table, which we thought was such a thoughtful touch. The food was as delicious as we had expected, and the service was top-notch. To top it all off, when it came time for dessert, they sent out a petit fours plate that had a "Happy Anniversary" sign made out of chocolate. It was the perfect ending to what had already been a very special evening. We are sure to be returning for other special occasions in the future.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMSunday evening around 7 isSunday evening around 7 is the perfect time to experience Charleston Grille.

We trekked there from our rental in Mt. Pleasant and it was WELL worth it. The chef's palate teaser was wonderful and all the food we ordered was extraordinary. Love the way the menu was layed out with 3 different categories to give you and idea of what goes with what. My husband was worried he'd have to eat everything from one section but we were pleased that you could pick and choose from the 3 different sections. The service was impeccable and our waiter helped us find a few other dining options for our stay that week. The bartender was also fantastic for our pre-dinner cocktails. Both were attentive and extremely helpful.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMperfectThis was wonderful and one of the best meals I have ever had.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was a great dining experience.This was a great dining experience.
