    The chicken is outstanding although the breasts could be meatier. The hot oil was what it says HOT!! But the flavor is amazing. Second time there and again didn’t disappoint!

    Our first experience here was great! The server had great suggestions. We had a dozen local oysters and the calamari for an appetizer. They were both good. The Tilefish was delicious as was the jambalaya. Great selection of craft beer and good wine. No wait as we had reservations. Overall, we loved it!

    Our experience at Virginia’s on King was 5-Star. Since it was Thanksgiving day and really nothing open, we ate both breakfast and a late lunch at VOK. We were very impressed with both services and the food quality. The menu was very broad which allowed us to try something different at each seating. The service was even better than the food quality. Tim was honestly one of the most attentive and friendly waiters I have ever experienced. If you are traveling to Charleston make sure to hit VOK and request Tim.

    This was our first Thanksgiving dining out. I have to say that the experience exceeded my expectations. No longer will I assume that I'm the only one that can make the very special Thanksgiving meal! Seriously though, we were seated promptly at our reservation time, our waitress was delightful and her service excellent. Best of all, for purely selfish reasons, the family thinks this should be our new tradition and I didn't spend the day in the kitchen. Definitely a winner !

    Mesu has an incredible atmosphere with such a good mix of two foods I love. The tacos were just as good as the sushi! Their margaritas with their homemade puree were delicious! Highly recommend. The gong tradition is so fun too!
