This was a great stop for my wife and I after enjoying 2nd Sunday walking through King St. The staff was very friendly & the oysters were fantastic. Be sure to check out the punch as well, but be careful it can sneak up on you ! Great experience and we will be back.
Was not impressed with the food but I did like the lemon tarter sauce.
Once you eat here, no other oyster bar will do. We had the seafood plateau which is a bountiful amount of raw clams and multiple types of oyster, and boiled seafood ; lobster, shrimp, crab. Succulent, unctuous, a true darling of an experience! The drinks are real. No tease of alcohol here
I'm not sure how this place got such high reviews. The decor is nice, but, it is so loud you can't talk to the person right in front of you. Hostesses are completely disorganized. We had a reservation and had to wait to be told we'd have to wait to be seated and then suddenly our table was ready. I won't go into much detail about the food. Everything was completely lacking in flavor and quality. I wouldn't waste your time or money especially if you are visiting Charleston.

Clam chowder was impeccable! The oyster shooters were great too. Our waiter was awesome. Will definitely be going back!
