I will never stop recommending Bexley! The food and service are always top tier. I worked with Jeremy years ago when he was at Anson Restaurant. It has been wonderful to see him flex his culinary muscles with the creations at Bexley! Everything on the menu is well thought out and truly a stunning piece of art on every plate. Bonus, sit on the patio. It is closed in, air conditioned, and feels like you're in a secret corner of Summerville.
First off - Hi Jeremy!! Your establishment is phenomenal!! Also thanks for the rec on the band Goose! Can't wait to be a regular at that bar!! Amy our server was A++!! Thanks for the fantastic service! She was fun and fresh and made our visit top notch! Always always sit at the bar!! It's so fun to watch them not only fresh suck your oysters but all the food- like a chefs table experience- but less stuffy! The food speaks for itself! Made with love and fresh! Not a single item that came over the bar was bad or mistake.. It's a fun family atmosphere!! You can tell that the staff wants to be there and the food - oh my gawd the food - chefs kiss!! An absolute staple the next time I'm here!!
Bexley has quickly made a name for itself in Summerville, and it absolutely lives up to the hype. I love coming here for oysters, especially oysters and bubbly. The ceviche is also so good and really unique--definitely a must-try. I also love that the menu is always changing, so there's always something new to go in and try. The inside is very charming and thoughtfully laid out, and the patio area is perfect when the weather's nice. Great location, great vibes, and everyone is genuinely so friendly. Such a great spot for date night or a relaxed evening out.
Bexley was the first restaurant we visited in the Summerville area, and we had a great dining experience. Although we were a walk-in on a busy Saturday night, the hostess still managed to accommodate us quickly. We were sat on the enclosed patio, right near the entrance and the host stand; maybe not as glamorous as the indoor seating, but we had no problem with this. Our server was very knowledgable about the area, and kindly gave us some pointers as we are new to Summerville. Scallops on the 1/2 Shell were flavorful and delicious. Oysters were on the small side, but tasty, and my Tilefish (Fish of the Day) was prepared wonderfully, perfectly cooked. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Will surely return!
Went back w seafood loving friends. The pork special was excellent! Service and ambience always well done!
We went on a double date with some friends that live in Summerville and they had recommended, Bexley's and we are so grateful they did!!! We had such an amazing meal, everything was beyond delicious and we made sure to order various dishes and split everything. It was great to try out a new restaurants in a different area of Charleston. It was easy to find parking, the service was amazing and I'll let the photos speak for the food ‼ If you are ever in the Summerville area, you must eat at Bexley's, they have seating at the bar/counter which looked awesome because you can see the chefs preparing all the food and a covered (heated) outdoor seating. Make sure you don't skip dessert either!
To start I am not a seafood person but my son and boyfriend are. They absolutely loved everything they ordered!! I got the hanger steak which I was not a fan of. The bread though i could eat the whole platter myself it was amazing. The service was fantastic. They even made fried shrimp for my son that wasn't on the menu. Which was so thoughtful! I would absolutely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for some wonderful seafood.
Great place tucked away in Summerville. We got there in time to take advantage of 1/2 price Oysters and wine. Sue our waitress was delightful and knew the menu inside and out. She was great with our one person with a nut allergy and another with a shrimp allergy. Making sure nothing was contaminated to hurt them. The oysters were delicious, we had the surf board which had so many things on it I won't remember them all! Cream Corn, Potato tartine, ahi-tuna, shrimp toast, crab, whitefish salad and some other things. Scallops on the half shell, a peach and burrata salad and roasted lamb cheeks. All were delicious!! 4 of us had the fish of the day ~ wreck fish, a fish that tasted like grouper, white with a swordfish type texture. Fried Oyster Roll, Tuna & Shrimp Poke Bowls. Sue's service was excellent. The buser's were on top of things and we all had a great time. Will definitely be back
Wow! Just wow! I was absolutely blown away by everything! Never had so many flavors bursting in my mouth at once! Loved the spin on ceviche! The surfboard was awesome! The sauces they have concocted to complement the oysters, oh man! The service was great! Love love love the intimate setting/vibe! Definitely visit here!!
Great restaurant with a beautiful ambiance as soon as you walk in. Host was friendly and helpful. Waitress was kind, recommended a dry red wine to get us started, and was attentive. Ordered the bread and the surfboard. The bread was delightful and I could have eaten the entire platter alone. The surfboard was very good, some items were a little out of my comfort zone.
Things I liked about Bexley's : Easy parking . You can park on the street or in the free parking garage that's just a few steps away. It's a nice location that overlooks Hutchison Square. You can easily walk to the wine bar on the square for before dinner cocktails or afterwards for a night cap. Nice, modern ambiance . Here's what I didn't like : We sat at the food bar and observed that none of the cooks or food workers wear gloves or hair nets. We watched these guys touch every piece of food , touch phones and then go back to touching food . I saw one dude lick a spoon and then place it under the counter. One guy had shoulder length hair and was leaning over plates of food . No hair net and hair not pulled back . It was all very unhygienic. Food was just okay. We ordered 6 different dishes and they all tasted like they had the same spices . Also the gnocchi has sugar in it ! It was too sweet . That's blasphemous. Side note : they also don't serve liquor . Wine only . My partner tried to order some liquor to wash his mouth out of some of the food flavors only to learn the restaurant doesn't have a liquor license . We had high hopes for Bexley but hopefully the restaurant can get it together .
Came here for my mom's surprise bday dinner. Service was OK-- was a bit difficult to keep the server's attention on the patio & the acoustics were horrible -- had wished I had booked a table inside after only a few minutes trying to talk. The food was good, I particularly enjoyed my rock shrimp gnocchi. I am excited to try this place again but lesson learned on the patio. Thanks tot eh chef and staff.
We wanted to relax and converse over great food in a casual elegant setting. Bingo! Bexley's isn't cheap, and their offerings deserve to be savored, not gobbled. We ordered Mussels, Butter Bean Hummus, and the fish of the day. The mussels were done perfectly, tender and flavorful. The hummus with house seasoned crackers was just right. My wife had the fish, and the only piece I got was heavenly. Our waitron was knowledgeable, personable, and professional. She made sure we had what we needed without hovering or unduly interrupting. We'll be back. read more

Fantastic! Easy location to park around and service was great--even if we showed up a little early. Very cute inside with a view of main street. Definitely nice to walk around after a filling dinner to walk off the food! I didn't try the poke bowl but my partner said it was nicely elevated and fresh--as well as the oysters, since I'm not an oyster person. The she crab soup was my favorite. My favorite previously was 82 Queen but this had a little bit more texture to it with the clumps of crab...might take the cake for me now. The shrimp n grits were pretty dang good and the poached egg made a lot of difference to the texture, however, I felt it was a bit too heavy with the smokiness of the pork belly/bacon. I LOVE smoke flavors and obviously bacon is cured/smoked, but when a bite had a piece of bacon in it, I felt it overpowered what is a stunning bite otherwise. We will definitely come back to try some other dishes, especially the lamb shank and hanger steak. Good shit! read more

If you are looking for a great date night option look no further than Bexley's Fish and Raw Bar. It will definitely win over the heart and stomach of your partner My first tip is to reserve a table on the patio. It is enclosed and air conditioned and the tables are spaced out much more than on the inside. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and on point bringing their offerings. We started what would become our favorite dish of the night Scallops on the half shell. At first, you may balk at the price but believe me worth every penny. They were $26 at the time of this review but they are topped with two kinds of caviar. It was one of those dishes that after one bite you lean back and savor the flavors. The casino butter, sake and chili garlic will make your taste buds dance. I tried the chili garlic shrimp and gnocchi, and it was so good my wife threatened to steal it. Pillowy soft gnocchi in a rich, decadent sauce with hints of heat was outstanding. It is listed as a small plate, but I found the portion size quite filling. My wife had the oyster roll which was more like a po' boy not a sushi roll. We have had other oyster rolls, and they sometimes disappoint but not this one. Some restaurants just put a few oysters on the top of the bun and that's it, but this roll had oysters all throughout. It came with house made pickles and a single fried oyster on the side as a warmup. I highly recommend it. For dessert we shared a key lime pie semifreddo which was so pretty I almost felt bad for eating it. It was topped with a graham cracker crumble and both raspberry and lime curds. The texture reminding me of ice cream and was not overly tart with a nice hint of key lime. The torched flowers of meringue were really a great touch. The best word we both agreed on was "satisfying" and would definitely come back again! read more

This place has been on our radar for a while, and it should be on yours! Lovely restaurant in the downtown Summerville area with a cozy feel and super fresh seafood. We didn't make a reservation and waited about 20 minutes for a table for 2 on a Friday night. The restaurant is pretty small, so make a reservation if you can! The service was great and our server was knowledgeable about the wine menu and pairings as well. We ordered the scallops on the half shell, yellowfin tuna crudo, Brussels sprouts, and the Fish of the Day, which was triggerfish. I think the scallops were our favorite for the night, they were cooked to perfection and had incredible flavor! The tuna crudo was super fresh and had lots of yummy toppings. The FOD was so good too, and I ended up spooning the sauce straight into my mouth. And don't sleep on the Brussels sprouts either, they were nice and crispy and had a nice crunch paired with all the seafood. We also ordered a bottle of chenin blanc which was served at a great temperature and balanced out with the food amazingly. Our server was attentive and filled our glasses as we were running low. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience here and will definitely come back but will make a reservation. Amazing food and great service! read more

A definite 5 out of 5 stars! The service was top notch and the food was absolutely incredible. We made a reservation for six the day before and they were able to accommodate us. They have an outdoor patio that is covered for summer but we chose to sit inside. (Note: you do have to put a card on file to book the reservation, which I totally get). We tried as a group a little of everything and when I tell you everything was delicious, I mean it! Unique dishes that I really haven't found anywhere else in Charleston. The menu rotates often which means that you can go and try new things every time you go. The poke bowl was my favorite but everything was so flavorful and delicious that I would go back asap. Up next I want to try their scallops because another table ordered that and it looked incredible! read more

This place never and I mean never disappoints. The food is always perfect and the drinks. I love how local their vegetables are. While we were sitting at the bar I saw a person walk in with a bag of eggplants. I can't wait to see what they make with it on their menu. If you haven't tried this place out you need to. You are definitely in for some amazing food. read more

FOOD: fantastic dishes offered with daily specials. I had the Bolognese Gnocchi and it was simply delicious. This dish accompanied by a glass of Montepulciano di Abruzzo made an evening meal a culinary experience. SERVICE: superb...our server knew EVERYTHING about the menu and the people behind its creation. I complemented her on knowing the details of her restaurant. AMBIANCE: we chose to dine at the raw bar counter. Beginning with the place mats, the utensils, the glass and dinnerware one could quickly see that this was not an ordinary raw bar. If they had been playing Oscar Petersen in the background, I would have sworn that I was back at the Pump Room. Great place...my congratulations to everyone. You created a real gem in downtown Summerville. read more

Finally made it here! The restaurant is small and quaint. The service was great! And the food phenomenal! So many great things on the menu to choose from! We decided on the Bexleys bread for starters... so delicious! The sorghum butter topped with sea salt was absolutely delicious. I have been wanting to try the charred octopus and so glad I did. Mine didn't quite look like pictures that others have posted. However, between the tender octopus and the butter beans it was a phenomenal dish. My husband had the shrimp and grits. They were so creamy with a little bit of a smoky flavor so good! We split a side of Brussel sprouts . Oh my!!!! The flavors and crispiness made these one of the best brussels sprout dishes I have ever had. Then we finished off our meal with the chocolate pudding. The Coco nibs, and the toasted marshmallow really completed this dish. Everything was delicious! read more
Was in Town for the annual Sweet Tea Festival. Always eat at local business while on a road trip. Bexley is conveniently located in old Down Town with easy parking. Was greeted and seated immediately. My waitress arrived soon after and took a drink order. She came back and explained some specials of the day and gave me a few minutes to decide on menu. I ordered the lobster roll which came with a small dish of pickled vegetables. The lobster came on a house made thick piece of bread slight down center. All tasted good. So this is a trendy type restaurant, nice decor, attentive staff, food presentation, not large food portions. It's nice to experience this every once in while. read more

We finally made it to Bexley for they first time after eyeing it for some time. I'm so glad I did ! The service was great and quick. We sat in the screened in patio (a little chilly but not terrible) and we ended up only getting a bottle of wine and appetizer (the surf board) and it was to die for. It was absolutely delicious and I can not wait to come back for more ! Definitely our new spot. read more

This is our first time eating at Bexley Fish & Raw Bar. Our server, Emily, was fantastic. We started with the House Roasted Oysters and Scallops on a half shell. We devoured them, before taking a picture --- sorry about that; but both were delicious. I think I have room for some dessert. There is a Key Lime Pie Semifreddo made with graham crumble, raspberry and lime curd. This is a totally different twist on traditional key lime pie! The ambiance is nice. read more

Having never visited Summerville, when we rolled into town for an overnight, we checked our trusty Yelp. Alas, there were no spots within walking distance of our hotel so we chose Bexley's. As it turned out, it was a good choice. The restaurant features a small outdoor door seating area, and a cozy, pleasant indoor ambiance. We sat at the raw bar, but past on the bi-valves, heartedly enjoyed by all of our bar neighbors. Instead, we started with some good old, southern deep fried okra. Bexley served up a generous portion of baby okra, nicely prepared and garnished with with some tasty condiments and whipped goat cheese. We ate every last one! For our entrées, my wife had the poke bowl with shrimp. I know she would order this again, even though she is not that fond of shrimp; I had the fish of the day, which happened to be grilled tilefish atop a creamy risotto. I have to admit, I didn't closely study the description so I wasn't sure what was in the sauce. Turns out it may have been pieces of squash and apples. This isn't your typical "Italian" prepared risotto. it's a bit creamier and much richer. I gave my wife a bite and she didn't like it. She tasted something bitter in the sauce. The fish was mild and prepared well. This is a dish I probably wouldn't go back for, but it was well prepared and artfully presented. All in all Bexley's was a good choice. Check out the menu, check out the place. It's a little bit unique; enjoyed by locals and travelers alike! read more

Went there for my Birthday dinner and even with the Oktoberfest wrapping up we had a great time. The patio was surprisingly quiet considering Oktoberfest was being broke down right next door. The food was very tasty and we had a delightful server. It's a little pricey but a fun place for a tasty birthday dinner read more
