    Fish House Grouper Sandwich
    Justine D.

    Lovely lunch spot. I really enjoyed my grouper BLT. My husband's burger was fine... nothing exceptional but tasty all the same. Great views and the service was good.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Food was good. Local seafood with hush puppies hit the spot. Go at sunset. The view on a good day is awesome!

    GREAT place so good great staff so fancy the view is so amazing you can see a war ship it looks great so cool drinks are fresh and more

    Swordfish- they split it for us
    Ann D.

    Food was okay. Service was average. Ambiance was a true fish house vibe. The view is perfect. The hummus dip appetizer was great, Caesar salad was good, shrimp and grits had no flavor. The sword fish was delicious with risotto. Order the swordfish and you will love it! We stayed at the resort, which was lovely. The pool and view are fabulous.

    I rarely write reviews, but our experience at the restaurant at Zero George was shockingly…read morebad--especially for a place that markets itself as "refined" and "hospitality-driven." 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. Desserts were outstanding. Chocolate budin (pudding) was delicious. Rice pudding was also quite nice with the fresh strawberries. The place itself was nice. Dark lighting. They did a great job of staggering seatings so you're not sitting on top of each other. Wonderful meal and night.

Everyone just fits in, no matter if you're the black sheep! Seating is a little limited, but worth the wait. I guess the first person I ran into was a manager, he introduced himself, (legit, "Hi my name is Bryan" and shook my hand!) (Post Script, the handshake is pervasive here, literally both bartenders were introduced to me and both came up and shook my hand.) I had checked this place out from other Yelp reviews and already knew I wanted the Fish and Chips, so after my beer order, I was shocked and awed that without asking, he brought the Malt Vinegar! You know it's gonna be the bomb already! The fish arrived very quickly! Bruh...this fish was legit. A large solo iceberg of fried perfection crested upon a wave of fresh made "chips " and they were clearly fresh made, not the frozen variety. The beer batter on this fish was so good I was in heaven. I thought it might be heavy and greasy, and yet somehow it held only flavor, crunch, and absorbed my Malt Vinegar to perfection. This place is packed with regulars and it clearly seems to attract other service industries personnel. All good signs of a good time! This may have been my first visit, but won't be my last!

Since it's owned by the same Hall family behind Hall's Chophouse, we were excited to give it a try. We had reservations but asked if we could sit at the bar instead, which ended up being a great choice. Our bartender was incredibly sweet and helpful when it came to choosing what to order and made us feel welcome from the start. There was also live music that night, which my husband was especially excited about since they were playing 80s covers. The menu focuses on Lowcountry cuisine, and everything we ordered was delicious. We started with the clams and then shared the pork chop and BBQ tuna. Every dish was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The cocktails were smooth, well made, and paired perfectly with the meal. To make the evening even more special, our bartender brought us two glasses of bubbles to celebrate my birthday, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Great food, great drinks, live music, and genuinely excellent service. It was the perfect way to kick off our Charleston trip. Also I forgot to mention that the shrimp and grits here are supposed to be the best in town!

We were staying at the Meeting House Inn so were able to easily and leisurely walk to lunch and dinner. Service was excellent, true Southern hospitality, and the restaurant is adorable. Food was amazing, each of the four of us loved our dish and tasted each others as well: - shrimp and grits - 5/5, plentiful and plump shrimp with a flavorful sauce over creamy grits. This was not my dish so I only got a taste and next time we go back I'm going to get this for myself! - grilled salmon sald - 5*5, arugula, couscous, dried fruit, pine nuts, feta, lemon shallot vinaigrette (this dressing is so delicoius! I want the recipe!), two of us ordered this one and again, i got a bite and want to order this for myself next time (see the problem here?) The combination of flavors and textures was amazing. Rave reviews from all. - scallops or was it special flounder - 4/5, I can't even remember what I ordered and the fact that I cannot quite remember it but distinctly remember my friends' lunches means I did not order the right dish! It was solid but not something to write home about (or on Yelp about) - corn muffins - 5*5, i'm pretty sure the corn muffins came as the "bread" for the table and they were so yummy! Our server heard me rave about the not too sweet, moist yet with a nice crumb muffins, and asked if I wanted the recipe, to which I said Yes! I look forward to going back next time I'm in Charleston!
