Hush puppies were excellent! Very crispy . Scallops entree was great as well ...very nicely seasoned and moist. The raw oysters were very fresh! Calamari appetizer - another great one.

House oysters great for the price...got some Danbury, MA oysters that were amazing, salty. Oyster shooters great - big oyster with a good really good spice to it. Great happy hour prices too

Grab an outside seat (it can be a bit windy), have some oysters (the local Blade was yum) and shrimp and grits , sip on some iced tea , and do some people (and the occasional horse buggy) watching.

Tiffany Porter

Had she crab soup and appetizers - blackened shrimp , calamari , and hush puppies - all fantastic. Heard the oysters all also tasty but personally not a fan. Local beer and easy access to parking .

Maire Griffin

The July 4th BBQ special was divine. BBQ pork belly w/lobster stuffed squash blossoms - rich but delish. My friend got the salmon w pineapple tomato salsa , so good & the waiter Brooks is adorable!

Nancy H Thompson

Yum, at our table, we had blackened mahi-mahi, snapper , she crab soup , mussels , and shrimp & grits !! All great, typical pricing for the area.

Trae F

A go to spot for great oysters and a fun, lively atmosphere in the heart of downtown.

Rachel Sheppard

Really delicious seafood ! The shrimp cocktail and she-crab soup with sherry were both amazing. We got the fried seafood platter to split -- it's a lot of food!

Golphur

I am from Florida and don't eat many raw oysters any more unless I trust the place. They do it right here. Eat them raw and enjoy!

Jason R

Clams , she crab soup , oysters , tuna tacos and the seared scallops are amazing.

Ms Helene

Jesse Jones

Fresh oysters and all around great seafood . A must stop in Charleston.

Chuck Roberts

Got the pleasure to eat here on Friday night. Even though the place was packed, our server was friendly and very efficient. The Pirlau was the best ever!

Mary Lindsay

Great service! Morgan was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Her recommendations were right on. Will definitely come back.

Sarah

Excellent seafood though a bit pricey . You get what you pay for though! Friendly staff too

Brad Heath

Quite a fancy establishment, however they were very courteous to my fiancée and I who were obviously under dressed . Five stars all the way!

Sarah

Incredible mussels and fresh mahi blackened was amazing.

Jared Cuda

Food is excellent and our waiter , Michael, was terrific. Great experience

Irene Jung

impressive chandelier made of oyster shell. a cool and lively raw bar .

Mark Mutz

Service was very slow, they were not that crowded but my beer sat on the bar for 15 minutes, so I went and got it myself. Oysters raw are good but seafood is heavily breaded which kills the flavor.

Brandon Mcdaniel

Always awesome for a after work beer . Patrick and Carrie are the best bartenders hands down!

Denise Renken

Blackened grouper and the shrimp platter both were great!!

Vinny Minardi

The raw oysters and clams are fresh and the staff is on point

Kirsten

Amazing food. Calamari , creamed corn , crabcakes , she crab soup , chocolate terrine dessert ... The best!

Gary Heaton

The tables are REALLY close together. Hope you enjoy those seated next to you. You will basically be sharing a table.

glennf ????

Shrimp and grits were amazing. Mussels were yummy.

Jarrett T

The calamari was amazing

Nathan Bilancio

I got a Cesar salad but wasn't a huge fan because the dressing was too fishy. I had the Clydesdale to drink, but felt it tasted a little watered down. It could've used a little more bourbon .

dusty schmidt

Oh...thee best shrimp & grits ever! and first time for Fried green tomatoes .. incredible!

Patrick Waickman

The happy hour deals are great, and HOLY COW try the jumbo calamari .

Jessi Rogers

Shrimp corn dogs and oysters are the way to go!

Katherine G.

Tuna tacos were awesome. The dill sauce on the fries oysters is divine.

Mike Carter

All good seafood . She-crab soup is great!

Megan D

Excellent hush puppies ! Try the vegetable plate and pick four tasty sides - it's a good (but one of the few) option for vegetarians .

Cecilia S

Shrimp and Grits were amazing!

Vitor Warwar

The beer selection and the catch of the day.
