    Spent our last meal in Charleston at the Charleston Harbor Fish House! Overall, it was a good experience. The restaurant is super cute inside but wasn't too busy. The views were unreal! So so pretty! (We got sat right next to the windows!) For an appetizer we got the hot crab dip. It was good but very salty. I felt the need to chug water afterwards. I am a rather picky eater which usually is not a problem, the waitress/waiter usually provides ways that I can adjust current options to fit my restrictions. It wasn't really the case here so I ordered my only option of the hot honey shrimp appetizer for my main course. It was good, very flavorful, I just was bummed that there wasn't any other dish that could be adjusted (I guess that's on me!) Overall, I might come back. The food was good and the place was cute but it wasn't anything crazy!

    Found this place driving across the bridge from Charleston. Located very close to the USS Yorktown, with a view of it from the restaurant. The restaurant was vey relaxing, got right in for dinner. The service was excellent! The Shrimp N Grits was a delicious entree.

    After attending the Fort Sumter boat tour we decided on the Charleston fish house for lunch since it is right across the parking lot. If you paid for parking at patriots point for the Yorktown or Sumter tour just walk right across the road. If you drive the turn is almost right where you come into park for the tours except on the left. You'll pay $10 to grab a ticket and go through the white parking gate. Just walk. The food was amazing!!!! Literally everything we got was delicious. Adults got the fried shrimp and oysters platter and the fried grouper blt. Melt in your mouth! We didn't know there was a children's menu, but you can get a child's burger, chicken tenders, grill cheese or butter noodles. Kids serving is a good size. You can dress to impress or not (lunch specific) for people coming from the boat experiences.

    We had the best experience at your restaurant. We only went in four nights that we were at the Harbor Resort for after dinner drinks. I have to say that BRANDON was the nicest young man. He made me the perfect Expresso Martini's ever night. Please thank Brandon for his smile and excellent service.

    Great service and great food! We had a table by the window with a beautiful view. Located on the water.

    Dip Platter

    This is an elegant, quaint restaurant overlooking the Charleston harbor. The views were spectacular and the meal was delicious. My husband and I ordered the shareable dip platter (the pita chips had to be homemade because they were top notch) and the lobster ravioli. The ravioli were rolling in flavor and there were chunks of lobster mixed in- it was definitely worth the price. Our only complaints were related to the staff- the hostess didn't acknowledge us and instead answered the phone when we walked up for our reservation. It took 3-5 minutes to be acknowledged and seated. Our waitress was friendly but she took several minutes to flag down for more tea, water, and our bill.

    Really enjoyed this restaurant as we were staying at the resort. Excellent views of the water and the historic USS Yorktown. Really nice and prompt service and delicious food. Ordered the scallops and they were amazing. My wife ordered the lobster ravioli and enjoyed it as well. The corn bread was also an excellent appetizer. Fairly priced, solid drink options.

    Crab soup
    Stacy S.

    Great views, good service, and brunch. The crab soup was tasty. He liked his shrimp and grits. I ordered an omelet without ham. So they put bacon in it... I'm not sure why they made the decision to add an ingredient - especially one so similar to what I asked to leave out. Once they remade it without pork, it was good. The breakfast potatoes are heavily seasoned with paprika.

My friend and I sat at our table for about 20 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. I finally flagged down a waitress, who apologized and explained they were short staffed. She took our drink order, and then a different server came over later to take our food order. I ordered the Mediterranean wrap with no onions, but it came out with onions anyway. Our server was nowhere to be found, so I started picking around them and eating the wrap. A few minutes later, she came back with the corrected wrap, but by then I'd already started eating the first one. The flavors of the wrap were actually good, but the texture of the chicken was awful. It was so off putting that it honestly made me nauseous. I only managed a few bites before I was done, and no one ever asked if everything was okay or why I had barely touched my meal. That said, the restaurant itself is beautiful. The atmosphere is what really stands out. It feels like you're dining inside a church, and I believe it actually is a restored church. Between the stained glass, the artwork, and the writing on the walls, it's a really unique and impressive space. I'd probably come back for drinks because the bar looked like it had a great vibe, and the bartender seemed to be providing excellent service. Next time, I'd definitely sit at the bar, but I don't think I'd order the food again.

We arrived for dinner with our 2-year-old. The tone was set immediately by our server, who was visibly annoyed when I didn't respond to his greeting fast enough because I was tending to my toddler. Rather than reading the situation with any empathy, he sharply said "Hi, miss" in a way that made it clear he expected immediate attention. Not a great start. Things only went downhill from there. My husband had to briefly step away to take a work call, and instead of accommodating the situation in any reasonable way, the server dropped water and bluntly said he'd return "when your husband is back"--effectively refusing to engage with me at all. Trying to make the best of it, I decided to feed my child first. After waiting quite a while with no assistance, I had to flag someone down--who turned out to be the manager. What followed was honestly the most appalling part of the evening. I asked if they could simply warm up my child's food. Not only did she refuse, she told me I could not feed my child in the restaurant. No alternatives offered. No attempt at accommodation. No offer for a kid friendly food item, or no offer to feed her in the hotel lobby. Her "solution" was that I should leave the restaurant and go find some outdoor space nearby to feed my toddler. To make matters worse, she added that "service will start at 6:15 sharp," essentially implying I should figure it out and be back on their timeline. The complete lack of empathy, flexibility, or basic hospitality was astonishing. I have never encountered such dismissive and hostile behavior toward a family with a young child--especially at a supposedly high-end establishment. Mind you we have been to plenty of restaurants including 3 Michelin stars. If you're dining with a child--or frankly, if you expect to be treated with basic respect--I would strongly recommend going elsewhere.

I honestly did not think that the blue crab ravioli was anything special. In fact I could have skipped that dish and had been fine and would've had more room to finish the shrimp in the boulliabase.

Wife's bavette steak was excellent with the peppers. Potato purée was not worth the price at all. $16 for some pretty good mashed potato's, I don't care how good a potato is or who you are, that's just insane to me. Last complaint was there was a film of dust lining the wall we were sat next to. So all in all, some really good dishes. I would love to come back, but the price is pretty high to have those imperfections.

I saw a woman who had just finished a conversation on her cell phone walking into one part of the L-shaped facility, so I followed her. "The host" asked whether I wanted to be seated inside or outside. I told him I had no preference. Landon, who became my server, then escorted me to the attached building, carrying menus and two glasses of water. Shortly after I was seated, Landon approached and asked if I would like a drink. I ordered a Margarita. Since I already knew what I wanted for my entrée, I also ordered the French Dip with French Fries. The French Dip arrived warm, but the fries were cold. When Landon inquired about my meal, I informed him of the situation. He immediately took the fries away. After I finished the French Dip, I received the fries. I do not know whether they were the original fries that had been reheated or a fresh order. Regardless, these fries were hot. Shortly afterward, the young man who had originally asked where I wanted to sit came to my table and removed my dirty dishes. Landon then brought me my check. Due to the circumstances, I was given a discount on my bill. Anyway, I did not hear either of them ask whether I wanted dessert. Perhaps because of my complaint, they just wanted me out. Oh well-- their loss! I really wanted to tried their Sundae! Landon again apologized for the cold French fries. He provided very good service throughout my meal, so I do not fault him for the kitchen's mistake. Based on the restaurant's L-shaped design, with two separate buildings and the kitchen located in one building while some of the dining area is in the other, I realize that meals may become cooler by the time they reach the table. Therefore, I would highly recommend requesting a table in the building where the bar is located. Lastly, serving water in a plastic cup, in my opinion, gives the restaurant a rather cheap appearance. Considering the overall setting, I would expect water to be served in a proper glass.
