Best Historic Restaurants in Downtown Charleston

Amazing meal and wonderful service recommended highly

Sat on the back patio and listened to 2 guys play amazing live music. The food was excellent and service was fast and friendly! Would recommend for a good meal, great environment, and good time!

The swamp fox restaurant is nestled in side the Francis Marion Hotel. It’s not too fancy a place to enjoy dinner and is recently quiet. We ordered the shrimp and grits which we strongly recommend as it was delicious. The service is good as well as the food. We thought it was a good value. Lots of good things to eat on the menu.

Our server (Taylor) was outstanding!!! And the food is amazing

We enjoyed our dining experience with the Historic Table (updated name for the Historic Supper Club). You have a little time before dinner is served to explore the exhibits of the SC Historical Society in the Fireproof building. Dinner is served at a long dining room table in a library type room with lovely Spode China. You will enjoy learning about various foods used for the highlighted period in Charleston history; the recipes used for the meal preparation are slightly updated for modern tastes. The proprietor, Mike, will explain details while the food is served family style. Everything was very tasty and abundant. A glass of Madeira wine is served, but otherwise it is byob (glassware provided) . It is an educational and enjoyable evening!
