Matthew 🚑 Tuttle: Exemplary service! The owner sent out complimentary apps. Carolina Delight, crab cakes, Caribbean jerk salmon, fried green tomatoes and a pint of Palmetto Amber... all incredible!
Maris Panjada: We waited for 25 minutes but the service was great. AMAZING crab dip & complementary calamari if you show your hotel room key! The Cajun Mayo is also delish. Anything with shrimp is recommended!
Жеча: Combo platter of true sea food! So much food!!! Ate half of that..comes with one side - for ex. rice, potato etc. and soup or salad. I've tried crab She soup - yummy!

Carole Loomis: Forget the reso, sit at the Oyster Bar for a great experience. Peekytoe Crab toast is a must! Great wine list.
Meredith Blechman: Insanely good. Redid an old bank building. Get the crab toast, tuna poke, black bass, and acorn squash farroto. I could eat here every night.
J Crowley: Not just the best restaurant in Charleston, but one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Blue crab on toast is an excellent starter. Smoked oysters (pictured) are BLOW YOUR MIND DELICIOUS.

Michael Procton: Crab cake sandwich was great, but ask for the remoulade on the side. Pretty heavy.
Leah Foster: Get the Eggs Meeting Street (poached egg, crab cake, atop a fried green tomato), French toast, Bloody Mary( extra spicy), creme brûlée latte.
Jess Coleman: Eggs Meeting Street (fried green tomato, crab cake, poached egg) is definitely worth ordering, but you may want to get your sauce on the side unless you want to swim in a pool of mayo.
Michael Shirley: The Carolina Plater has the best crab cake I've ever tasted!!! I definitely will be visiting here again!
Anthony: Excellent snow crab!!!
Ilse vom Kreuz: Great seafood and friendly staff! I went on a rainy day, so I couldn't enjoy much of the creek view... Try the Carolina Platter (Alaskan crab, shrimps and crab cake) Y-U-M-M-I-!!!
