We've dined at Hammett's Landing on 4 occasions and each visit was a culinary delight. Very affordable and friendly. Family owned and operated. Try their fresh fish dishes.
We had such a great time. The band was awesome. The fishbowls were awesome too!!!!
Great food, great music and great staff. Raymond was hilarious. Kevin was accommodating, gracious, and gorgeous.

I am so excited that one of my favorite restaurants has again opened its doors, Bella Nappoli. My daughter spent 2 years living in Naples,Italy and when she came back to Charleston we found Bella Napoli on Dorchester and spent many wonderful time there...she knew what to order!!! Now she will come ...
It was a joy to celebrate my anniversary at Bella! The complimentary bread and oil were homemade and so delicious, we literally had to stop ourselves to order an appetizer. The wine selection is superb with glasses starting at $6. The wait for your entree will not be in vain, everything was great! B...
Don't let Red Orchard's location scare you off. It's very nice on the inside. From hanging red lanterns to hard red wood furniture, you'll get the authentic feel by it's decor. The only other Chinese restaurant I've been to in the Charleston area that has better decor is the Dragon Palace in Daniel ...
Probably one of the poorest restaurants in Charleston. At best average food and well below average service and management. High prices with Low results. I hope the tourist trade is enough tp keep tem going for their sake. Repeat customers are not an option
If you want a romantic and relaxing night out with your date then Circa 1886 could be your place. The outdoor seating is set in a beautiful and serene surrounding. You are nestled in the garden of the Wentworth Mansion which in itself is an icon of downtown Charleston. Everything was superb. Fro...
I was hesitant when I walked by but the NY Style Pizza sign caught my eye. It didn't look the brightest and cleanest place around but... hey it looks like an authentic NY Pizza joint. I ordered 2 slices, one pepperoni and the other mushroom. They were hot and delicious. The crust was done just r...

I ordered a take out at Osaka; I ordered Shrimp Tempura and Clear Soup. I picked up the order and when I got home they had given me Shrimp Sushi and a Shrimp Curry soup. I called up and they said bring the order back; I live 20 miles round trip and hungry and said I was not about to bring the order ...

I RECENTLY HAD THE UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE OF ORDERING A TO GO ORDER FROM THIS LOCATION THE ORDER WAS COMPLETELY INCORRECT AND THE ON DUTY MANAGER INFORMED ME IN A VERY CURT MANNER THE OWNERS POLICY DID NOT INCLUDE CREDIT UNLESS THE FOOD WAS RETURNED. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS NOT PREPARED TO DRIVE THE 1...
GREAT FOOD at GREAT Prices!!! wonderful pizzas with unique toppings! Love the BLT Pizza and the Cheeseburger Pizza! YUM
This place has the closet thing to NY pizza in South Carolina. The guys that work there are hilarious and easy to talk to. The pizza is authentic and the price can not be beaten. If you want you pizza chain pizza than this isnt the place, but if you want a good NY style pizza look no further. Def A+...
I eat here fairly frequently and it very much reminds me of New York. It's exactly what a New York style pizzeria is supposed to be like. The calzones are excellent as well. The employees are very friendly and are very quick serving you.
The atmosphere is great and staff is friendly and helpful. The bacon cheeseburger is my favorite. Its cooked to perfection and is huge. The wings are also great. The chicken fingers are big and tender, a must try. The pizza is okay, but not a favorite of mine. Overall its a great place to eat and to...
Talk about being a kid in the candy store. This place is like a Cracker Barrel on steroids! Such a huge selection of unique candy you won't find in your typical retail store. I can't wait to sink my teeth into those candy caramel apples again! :)
Great New York Style pizzas! Their pies are authentic and so are the people who run the joint. Look at the picture and you'll see what I mean. Friendly and loud service... just what you would expect from your local Italian restaurant! They were even giving us tips on making the pizza dough. Wow...
Charleston is know for their shrimp grits and I've got to say Hominy Grill is the best place that serves it. We had breakfast and lunch here and their shrimp grits is one of their best dish we've tried. They are constantly changing their menu throughout the week so you will always have something n...
After seeing this suggested in Southern Living magazine Sept '08 we decided to visit Peninsula Grill for dinner while on our vacation to Charleston. The ambiance was upscale but not pretentious. We dined in the outdoor courtyard. The server and hostess' were kind and courteous and not the least bit ...
We were tempted to try the Boathouse as we passed by it on our way to downtown. This restaurant has great curb appeal that continues on the inside as well. We were really impressed with our dinners. My husband got lobster which was good but the King Crab legs were the star of the evening with my roa...
