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

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. read more

Bexley Fish & Raw Bar - Seafood Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

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! read more

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! read more

We've been a few times and have always had a great time. We've been for drinks during the sweet tea festival and sat at the bar with apps and small plates. It was great to watch all the prep at the raw bar and kitchen. Then we went back for dinner and stuffed ourselves w sushi and raw bar entrees. Everything was fresh and has a great presentation. The surfboard app was amazing. Great food. We didn't have a reservation (though recommended) and they were able to seat us. It's a small place but comfy. And the staff was all very nice. We will definitely be going back. read more

Absolutely love the experience at Bexley Fish & Raw Bar in Summerville! Everything ordered was bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors and tasted so incredibly fresh, and you can tell they're using top-quality ingredients. It's truly such an adventure of flavor in your mouth with every single bite. The creative small plates and seafood dishes take you on a delicious journey that keeps surprising and delighting you. Perfect vibe, fantastic service, and just overall an outstanding meal. If you're in the Lowcountry and love seafood done right, this place is a must-visit. read more

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. read more

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 read more

This place is a hidden gem that is getting more and more recognition. We love this place and eat here at least 2x per month. Seafood forward creations that are almost too pretty to eat. Jeremy and team keep standards on the menu...oysters, tuna, octopus but are always changing it up. Sit at the oyster bar and watch the magic happen. read more

We recently moved to Summerville from Charleston and ask locals for recommendations. Bexley was mentioned several times so we had to give it a try. What a find! The server was knowledgeable and made recommendations when we asked. We started with oysters on the half shell (half off during happy hour) from NC. Excellent! We moved to the Bexley surfboard, it changes daily and I can't wait to try this again. I may order it for dinner so I don't have to share. Every item on the board was beyond our expectations but two stood out. The trout spread is the best I've ever had. My spouse isn't a fan of fish spreads and he loved it! That's high praise. The beef skewers were "melt in your mouth, lick the plate clean" delicious. We finished with the mussels. They too were outstanding. We weren't planning on having dessert until we saw the deconstructed key lime pie. Oh my! It tasted even better than we expected. They only serve beer and wine but have an extensive selection. We sat on the patio and watched the world pass by. This is truly a gem in downtown Summerville. read more

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. read more

Completely Over-Rated.... Listen the one thing you can expect from my reviews is complete 100% transparency and honesty. We had a bunch of apps including raw oysters and a smattering 3-4 small plates all were personally I found all to be underwhelming with the exception of one, just disappointing. They made us (Party of 3 with reservations) not want to order main dishes....and we didn't. The dozen raw oysters weren't shucked properly for the $42 price tag. Please make sure you sever the lower abductor Mr Oyster Shucker...I don't need to reschuck your oysters and could have done better with my oyster knife in my kitchen on those raw guys. Only gem for my taste buds was the small plate of short rib gnocchi which unfortunately has nothing to do with any type of seafood. This restaurant has been on my list for a long while and I have heard good things but definitely under-delivered on the food. Charred Octopus which was tender was more of a black eyed pea/bean dish with an octopus garnish, 1 of our anticipated apps was tuna tartare...and was extremely salty, totally over dressed with soy, and how many dishes do you need to garnish with zoodles? Give me a break. Many dishes were entirely too salty and meager with headlining ingredients with the exception of the aforementioned zoodles. If you like zoodles on everything by all means give them a shot. But for me please give the zoodles a rest. They are incredibly annoying to try and eat or fit into a lettuce wrap or on a crispy wonton. The service was very good and is the only thing that saved the meal and made it relatively tolerable. Hate that they had literally 14 people in the entire restaurant but sat everyone on top of one another. It's not a pub it's a restaurant. Thanks for the great service but personally not worth revisiting. I left tremendously disappointed in the food. Sorry just being completely honest here. Wanted to love it but left ...honest review. read more

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. read more

We have been going here since 2023 and have been overly impressed with each visit. We recently scored a reservation for Valentines Day and were even more impressed with the offerings plus the incredible service. Summerville SCORED HUGE when Bexley decided to land in the historic area. This morning we went to their first ever pop-up for lunch coinciding with the farmer's market and wow, they continue to impress with their food. We did two chicken skewers, two shrimp skewers, and two orders of their dumplings. WOW! Absolutely a flavor bomb. Recently learned the Chef is a graduate, as is some of his colleagues, of the CIA in Hyde Park. Makes perfect sense when you see the quality and presentation of their dishes. GO! read more

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 . 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

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

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

We have been to Bexleys about four times in the past couple of years. Each time it is amazing. The owners will make kid-friendly dishes upon request. I can't say I have ever had a bad meal here.

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

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

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

This was one of the best meals I had while traveling around the greater Charleston area. Wow, everything was absolutely delicious! You don't need to eat in Downtown Charleston when this gem is here. I was surprised to find a restaurant with such class and culinary skill in downtown Summerville. The ambiance was great and lively even while eating an early dinner- it was clear that it was a place that people are excited to go to. The scallop & pork belly dish was extremely memorable and the kimchi grits were so savory. We sat at the bar and spoke with the chef, he was extremely friendly and personable.
