We went last night, and it was FABULOUS!! The service was impeccable! Every server who passed our table and saw plates that needed to be removed, or drinks that needed refilled, stopped and helped! They were all so nice! Now the food was INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS!! The oysters were so fresh and I don't usually eat raw oysters, but they were too good to pass up!! The shrimp was also the best I've had! The dessert choices were a great way to end our dining experience. I will be craving the oatmeal cookie bake with coconut ice cream... read more

I found this all to be true at The Darling.

The Darling is all encompassing of the reasons why people love Charleston: the beautiful architecture, friendly people, specialty drinks, King Street's vibrant nightlife, and delicious food. Plus, who doesn't love a good oyster?! This is the perfect atmosphere to meet for a drink, enjoy a delicious meal at a great price medium, or to top off a night with friends with a signature oyster shot. I had the fried oyster basket and it was so good! It was fried the perfect amount, and the oysters are great quality. No doubt, this is... read more
