   Food was delicious, waitress addressed a small issue with overcooked fish promptly and courteously, the calamari was just as amazing as I remembered!

   The service was extremely slow and the restaurant was not crowded. The food came out dry and not very hot, as-if it had been sitting for a while. I had to add broth from the mussels to my risotto to cut the dryness.

   Service wasn’t the best. Under cooked food and cold fries. Pie was warm. For the price save your money and go to Halls.

    Con: corner window seat at night facing the street - windows are not tinted enough so the car lights shine in easily Waiter disappeared toward the end of service. Pro: Great seafood restaurant with oyster bar. All the food was great

    I am a native of the Charleston area, I have a business downtown & because of the high quality of the seafood, the fact that it is well cooked & in wonderful recipes, it is my favorite restaurant. My husband has been a commercial fishing captain all his life & many of our friends we bring to Amen street hold high positions in the fishing industry. Thank you!

    We had a quiet table toward the back which was nice. We weren’t rushed. The fried shrimp was great as was the blackened mahi sandwich. The tuna tacos didn’t have much on it except lots of corn chips. I would have expected better. A kid at table nearby dropped his grilled sandwich on the floor. The waitstaff cleared their table, stepped on the bread and just left it. It took forever for that food to get picked up off the floor. Our waiter was very nice but they were understaffed.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. The shrimp corn dogs were unique and fantastic—great idea! Both meals were delicious: the scallops w/ rice and the blackened mahi mahi unlike any mahi tasted before. Also great drink selections with variety of cocktails and beers unlike some other Charleston restaurants. And our server was knowledgeable, charming and friendly. Highly recommended!!

    This place is GORGEOUS and the food is the best I have ever had! Our server, Francis, made the experience even better! Her service was impeccable and her upbeat vibes are just what we were looking for to celebrate 2 birthdays. One of our guests commented that the Lobster Gnocchi was “the best I have ever had!” The Shrimp Scampi was equally delicious.

    Would be five stars across the board except that I thought the fish portion in our sandwiches (lunch menu) were a little skimpy. Times as they are, I would still rather pay a couple dollars more for a bit more of fish than getting a smaller portion at the regular price. Other than that, great! Service, atmosphere, food taste and quality were all top notch.

    Ate here with some friends during a recent visit to Charleston. The food was great, freshh and nicely presented. The service, even though the place was quite busy, was friendly, professional and welcoming. We have eaten here on our last several visits to Charleston, and will do the same next time. The level of food and service is always exceptional.

    Walked Pat here numerous times but have never been in. Decided to give it a try and am very impressed. The setting is old Charleston , the location perfect for a night in town. Had she crab soup which was phenomenal. Followed that with shrimp & grits. There are so many ways to prepare this , but Amen Street nailed it for what I like best. Feat fresh shrimp, creamy grits, not thin , and so flavorful. Server was busy due to a no show, but still on point and attentive. Really glad I gave it a try. Will add it to the rotation for sure

    My husband had the baked Oysters and corn dog shrimp as appetizers. He raved about both! The shrimp were big and properly cooked with a very flavorful corn dog coating. He had a burger for dinner and I had shrimp scampi. Both were excellent! We will definitely be back!

    My 2 sisters and I took my grandfather to lunch here while on a family trip over the weekend and we loved it! It was a bit pricey but overall we really enjoyed it! Our server was great, was totally honest about what was best on the menu, and lively/jovial. We sat outside which was really nice. Cocktails were great too!

    Food was good. We were seated in the back room, which does not have a good a vibe as the front. We had to wait a long time for food . The waitress was competent but workman like, not particularly inviting. Overall, we were expecting a better experience. We can’t complain but probably won’t be back, given other options in the city. It might be more fun to sit at the bar.

    This is a really beautiful restaurant and our wait staff and all the different people that served us were gracious and lovely. However- Neither my husband or I were happy with our food. We felt the menu was overly complicated with too many competing flavors included. The pairings in our opinion we’re not good.

    I really wanted to love this place. The old building is beautiful and the service was very good. Unfortunately it smelled like a fish market the moment we walked in. The oyster bar is near the door, but I’ve been in several other restaurants where the oyster bar is prominent and there was never a smell like this. It pervaded the whole restaurant, and the ladies’ room was far worse. As for the food, the she-crab soup was fine but rather bland, as was the shrimp in my shrimp roll. My husband did enjoy his kale salad as it was topped with plenty of bacon vinaigrette and six large fried oysters. I realize there may have been unusual circumstances causing the smell and may give it another try one day, but with so many excellent places in Charleston, it won’t be any time soon.

    This is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant, good food, good service and just a good vibe all around. Love their fried green tomatoes, oysters and calamari steak fries as starters. From fried seafood platter to special saffron and lobster pasta, yum yum yum.
