Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Daniel Island

It was a great Japanese restaurant with wonderful food.

Food is typically great here. Unfortunately they took one of the signature dishes off the menu - Lamb Biryani but offered a shrimp one which was average. Mine came out cold and had to be sent back. The service was quite poor - very unusual for this place. They all seemed to be new and don’t know much about the menu. Further, the bartender didn’t come to work and thus no mixed drinks were available. We really like this place but may hold off for a few months and see if they can get the staffing situation sorted out.

This is a GREAT restaurant. Food is excellent quality, creatively and beautifully prepared with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dine here for a real treat from folks who clearly love what they do. A stylish neighborhood gem.

Definetly eat here. Humble decor but fabulous, imaginative food. We had a new cabbage dish that was an ideal blend of flavors. Vegan options were beautiful and tasy. The short ribs and house pasta were perfect for sharing. In short, order things that sound different and I promise you will be impressed. We ordered all 3 desserts and even the beets surprised. A must for relaxed fine dining.

Let me start by saying Mike is an incredible host, server, chef, and historian. This was a one of a kind experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique culinary experience in Charleston. While it is not a conventional restaurant, Mike takes you on a culinary journey of 18th and 19th century low country cuisine, keeping things as authentic as possible while still appealing to our modern palates. Each dish was carefully crafted and thoughtfully prepared. The table was full of strangers, but we all got to chat and listen to Mike’s wonderful presentation of Charleston history to go along with each dish. Our specific meal was centered around Legacy families of Charleston, so we enjoyed dishes each family would have also enjoyed. Mike deserves all of the attention and reservations he can handle. As he says, he’s one of Charleston’s best kept secrets, and I believe that to be true because I had a fantastic experience.
