Water's Edge - CharlestonBest Outdoor Dining with Water ViewFrom the title, you know what to expect...the atmosphere is paramount, the service excellent, the courses came out timely and never felt rushed. We had an assortment of appetizers and entrees...Calamari (must have been a skinny Squid!) and Steamed Mussells (excellent and plentiful) Fish Stew, House Salads, and Numerous Shrimp and Grits, Hickory BBQ Salmon and Crab Cakes (they can claim NO bragging rights with this dish, nothing spectacular about the crab cakes nor the red rice!)5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat take inI like to bring first time visitors here for the great view, dolphin watching from your table, ambience. Service and food are great. Very consistent. Food is fresh and well prepared. Has prime rib for the non-seafood lovers which is rare in this area. Overall great experience.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMDinner EntertainmentThe view was amazing. We had a window seat inside and were entertained most of our dinner by the jumping dolphins in the creek. We enjoyed watching the beautiful boats go by as well. Our service was fabulous and the variety of menu choices suited everyone in our party.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMShem Creek ViewsGreat views of Shem Creek while eating dinner. Seafood was good & steak was awesome. Hadn't been here in a while, but definitely will come back.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat food and serviceWe eat out a lot and had never been to Water's Edge during our visits to the area so we decided to try it out when it came up on Open Table. We were very glad we went. Our server, Daniel, was wonderful, informed and friendly. The food was above average and I can't wait to go again. Looking out at the boats coming and going on Shem Creek while dining just put the cherry on top.

Food was very good.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect prom dinner!This reservation was made for my son and his date, who were dining prior to their high school prom. He felt that, while the restaurant was VERY busy with other prom-goers, the waiter was very respectful and attentive to their needs. He felt he was treated like an adult, rather than a teenager.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMParking was awful! Prom nightParking was awful! Prom night and multiple other functions at adjoining businesses. I think they could have been more prepared. Almost left after 20 minutes of waiting for a parking space.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMFood and service excellent.Food and service excellent. Location was great.

Our party started out as 6 but my brothers surprised us and joined us as we were being seated. The hostess was not happy about moving us to a larger table but our waiter was great and accomodating. The restaurant wasn't very crowded so we didn 't think the hostess should have been upset but she was. The atmosphere was very relaxing. Beautiful view and restaurant I had a ceasar salad which was good and a shrimp cocktail that was excellent. My husband had fish stew that was excellent. Crabcake was excellent. Club sandwich and chicken pasta with veggies were good. Key lime pie and pecan pie were excellent. We love this restaurant and will definitely be back.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMHome Run for our dinner PartyThe service was outstanding...quiet,quick, and unobtrusive. The food was delicious, beautifully presented,plentiful, and the salad greens were very fresh. The desserts were especially good. Home run for our dinner party of four3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMWater's Edge DiningMy family went for my birthday. The food was wonderful. View of Shem Creek was very nice. I am very glad we made an early reservation. When we arrived at 5:45 the parking lot was full because of Happy Hour I assume. We found a spot out of four left in the back of the lot. So being early worked out great. When we left people were jockeying for parking spaces. We had a man follow us from the entrance to the back of the lot trying to beat others for our space. I am Happy we didn't wait later to go. This was my first time at Shem Creek and Water's edge and it won't be the last. Even though the price is around 17-37 $ unless you have the 10$ Cheeseburger you get lots of food for the price. Again we will definately go again.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMHope to return to Charleston,Hope to return to Charleston, if we do you are on our list of "must do's"!!3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMI picked Water's Edge to entertainI picked Water's Edge to entertain my Company Execs.
