- LBLindsayBSouth Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoWe had an amazing dinner on the patio. The view was beautiful! The restaurant had a laid back but still upscale vibe. We had great non-alcoholic cocktails, which had their own section on the menu, so that was a nice touch as someone that doesn’t drink much. The food was great and came out quickly! The pumpkin pasta dish was great. The area is beautiful and definitely worth walking around before or after dinner if you have the time.More infoThe KingstidePrice: Moderate• Seafood• Daniel Island•4.5
- SVSandraVNew York / Tri-State Area •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023Everything was great. The server was fantastic. But we wanted to sit outside in the enclosure and the noise level was beyond so we went back in. Also no parking and adding $17 to park made it a bit expensive. But overall was a special time.More infoTavern & TablePrice: Moderate• American• Mount Pleasant•4.5

Celebrate your special occasions at these top 14 Charleston restaurants
Celebrating is what Charleston does best, and food is practically a religion in the Holy City. Most festive restaurants in this historically complex, cobblestone town serve cuisine that’s heavily influenced by the locale. The past is infused in every bite: vibrant Gullah Geechee culture, kept alive by descendants of West Africans who were brought to America’s southeastern coast as enslaved people, is well-represented in dishes rich with okra, grits, rice, and collards. Seafood—specifically, shellfish—graces practically every menu. Whether your reason for celebrating is a birthday, anniversary, promotion, or simply just because, the city’s thriving restaurant scene has the ideal spot. These are the 14 best restaurants in Charleston to ring in any special occasion.
