    From the minute we walked in to the restaurant, which truly does have a “warehouse” vibe, until we left, we were treated like VIP. Valentina and Josiah took wonderful care of us, serving and explaining the exceptional food and lovely wines. Each dish was unique and excellent. We did the tasting menu, in which we were asked to choose between the Duck and Lamb, as well as Chocolate or Cheesecake for dessert. We each chose the opposite and shared. Both were delicious. The other 4 dishes, including a palette cleanser after the entree, were chosen for us, but did not disappoint. Excellently prepared and very nice presentation. Truly a fun place. We enjoyed people watching. At around 9 o’clock it becomes very lively, so conversation is difficult, but we were warned ahead of time. Instead we just relished in the ambience. Clearly it is a popular place, even though set down the street off of King St - so a bit off the beaten path. James, the owner, has found a good balance between gourmet and trendy. And clearly, a great “bar” scene as well! Definitely a place to check out when in town visiting, or even as a local.

    Had a few kids with us and threw the kitchen a curve-ball (they can be picky sometimes). The whole team was very accommodating and the food was delicious! The wine prices were fantastic as well.

    I had high expectations for this place. This was based on the majority of reviews I previously read. I ordered the croquettes, the beef tartare, and the fried chicken appetizers in lieu of an entree. First off, the portions and overall quality were lacking for what I was charged for these individual dishes. To drill down a bit, the croquettes had “potato” listed as an ingredient. They appeared to be deep fried breaded cheese balls. I neither tasted nor observed anything remotely potato like. Moreover, the croquettes did not appear to be made in-house. They were closer to something found at a local fair. The beef tartare was the best of the bunch. Though, It was a fairly run of the mill dish. I will give the dish a B+, and that might be a tad generous. The fried chicken was possibly the most disappointing. It was clearly overly dry, in both texture and taste. Again this appetizer appeared to lack the freshness I normally associate with in-house made dishes. With all the good to great restaurants in Charleston, I don’t need to return to this one. Yet, the ambience and decor are nice and the staff are lovely. Moreover, their issues are fixable. I hope they improve.

    Hello, thank you for your feedback. While we hope everyone who dines with us enjoys our food, we understand that a few may not like it. When someone does not enjoy a particular dish or feels that it was not worth its value, we encourage them to please bring this to the attention of their server. We would have loved the opportunity to either provide you with something more to your liking or we would remove it from your bill entirely. We hope you give us another chance in the future. Cheers!

    Being 60 plus something’s we were a little apprehensive. But it was a quiet night and let me tell you the food was out of this world!! Guys split the duck for two and us girls got the chicken for two. Guys said it was the best duck they had ever had. The chicken was delicious and the sauce and potatoes were were Devine ! Our server was awesome as well. Don’t let the fact that it’s for the younger crowd. You won’t be disappointed

    Came to try the new “every day” menu at Warehouse after enjoying so many of their seasonal tasting menus last year. This team is constantly reinventing itself and continually knocks it out of the park. I could eat there several times a week!

    We had brunch here during a wonderful weekend trip to Charleston. This was one of the best meals we had during our visit — and we had some amazing meals there! This was a prix fixe menu that was 6-7 courses. Every single course was special — beautifully plated, unique flavors, bursting with surprises in each bite. The courses were small, which was perfect because there were so many. The restaurant didn’t have many people there, so it felt like a private hideaway. The atmosphere was funky and cool — and the music was retro and made for an enjoyable visit. I HIGHLY recommend this place.

    first time at the restaurant and we did the 9-course tasting menu. each course was a surprisingly delightful combination of flavors and textures. perfect timing and course sizes. the hen and maitake rice dishes were my fave. cocktails were also impressive, very smooth twists on classics. only con was the restaurant added a $9 credit card fee to the check. we weren’t informed of this and it seemed a bit presumptuous and not aligned with the rest of our dining experience. it was also pretty chilly in the restaurant but it was also unseasonably cold for Charleston in Nov. would still highly recommend dining here.

    I've dined here three times now. It is usually pretty easy to a reservation because most of the locals go to the typical restaurants around town. This is NOT a typical restaurant; it is an experience. The food and cocktails are consistently amazing. Honestly, best restaurant in Charleston. No contest.

    Totally disappointed with The Lux. We were there from 7 to 9pm and we were the only party in the restaurant. An empty restaurant in Charleston on a weekend is very telling. The menu is limited and the prices are extreme for the portions and quality. Drinks were good and should be at $15 per. I’d go back for a drink but NOT for dinner

    Phenomenal dinner. Wife and I had the steak dinner for two and it was probably one of the best I’ve had in Charleston. Gives Oak and Halls a run for their money.

    Our server was amazing describing the dishes and cocktails. We were having a wonderful time then the place transformed into a nightclub b4 dinner was over. We could no longer hear our server or each other. I recommend going early in the evening. Some of the food was truly inventive and amazing. We were So full my the time dessert arrived, we didn’t have room for it. I think a few of those mid courses could have been cut out to leave room to enjoy dessert! We did enjoy it and would go back for sure!
