    Scarlet lamb
    Latoya L.

    My husband and I stumbled upon Legami after catching our sister's show at Forte Jazz Lounge just a few steps away, and wow... what an unexpected gem on King Street! For dinner, we ordered the Scarlet Lamb and the Southern Duck, and both dishes were absolutely phenomenal -- flavorful, beautifully plated, and cooked to perfection. We also started with the oysters, which were fresh and the perfect way to kick off the evening. The cocktails deserve their own applause because the "Mambo Italiano" and "Sailor's Moon" were crafted perfectly and paired beautifully with dinner. The ambiance was intimate, stylish, and upscale without feeling stuffy -- the kind of place that makes you want to slow down, enjoy the music, and stay awhile. Service was attentive, knowledgeable, and added to the overall experience. Charleston has no shortage of amazing restaurants, but Legami truly felt like one of those hidden gems you're excited to tell people about after you discover it yourself. We'll absolutely be back.

    Wow! The chef leveled up on the lobster pasta dish. Rich in flavor, but still light. Don't skip the octopus and the burrata with pesto appetizers. The tiramisu was delicious for dessert and I will be talking about the perfectly dirty martini with burrata stuffed olives for days.

    Sat at the bar. Food was amazing!! I didn't get a picture of the hamachi but it was amazing. Loved the vibes, drinks and food. Bartender was amazing too

    I'm so sorry but I just had to make this review. The service itself was great. Our main server was great. The one at the front had a bit of an attitude but I understand. The place itself is beautiful and they had some of the nicest restrooms I've seen in a restaurant. BUT... getting brunch here was a massive mistake. Drove down to enjoy a meal to start the day, but that burger was awful and it honestly ruined my morning. This may have been the first time I've eaten something that caused me to vomit an hour later. I let the waiter choose my dish but I was confused on why I wasn't asked how I wanted the burger done. The burger tasted great but half way into it I realized the meat was REALLY pink. I made the assumption that the crew knew what they were doing and trusted the quality of the meat since (1) I wasn't asked how I wanted the meat done and (2) they made it this pink without any knowledge of my preferences. So, right after I ate the burger my abdomen started to hurt until I eventually puked it up. It resulted in about two to three hours of extreme pain and discomfort. That's how my morning went :)

    My first experience with Legami was good albeit a bit different. I had called ahead to see if they were accepting walk ins to which they said yes and if we came in the next 30 minutes that would be nonissue. When my friend and I arrived 30 minutes later per their request, mentioning we were walk-ins, they appeared a bit confused wouldnt wouldn't sit us without making a last minute reservation. We waited a few extra minutes while they punched in our Resy info before seating us. Not knocking them for this, I just thought the whole thing was odd. We originally came in for restaurant week but opted to try their regular menu. Both my friend and I ordered the oxtail ragu that was delicious! I also ordered two oysters as an app, the focaccia, and we each had a martini. Our server was nice and on top of everything. Overall the prices are fair, the atmosphere warm and dark. I would recommend dressing up for this experience. While there were people in leggings and ugg slipper I would save those for something a little more casual.

    Legami: delvers ambiance just as good as their pasta! Love ordering their dirty martini w the side car (aka coupe of olives) to start off the evening. Our server was incredible - friendly, attentive, and let us know the HH special for our next visit. $1 oysters and $15 plate of pasta! Such a spot for girl dinner, group dinner, date night, etc. we love the patio, but upstairs is great as well!

    Went there the other night with my girlfriend and had a great experience. We sat at the upstairs bar area which I would highly recommend. It felt lively but still intimate and was a great spot to settle in for the night. Food was excellent across the board. The scallop crudo was a standout and the duck was unreal. Honestly might be one of the best duck dishes I have ever had. Service was incredible without being over the top and the ambiance was spot on. Everything just clicked. Definitely a place I would go back to and recommend to friends.

    First night we went we sat at the bar, had perfect cocktails best Negroni s ever. Bartender, Rogan was amazing. We shared ravioli, also fantastic, again some of the best. We had reservations for the next evening . We were seated and the restaurant is beautiful, it truly is. Our food was phenomenal.. pan seared perfectly over a corn purée. The lobster pasta was delicious. We also shared a burrata appetizer which was fantastic. The dessert, a puff pastry with chocolate was underwhelming. Our server, Naomi was super friendly and very celebratory with a birthday (there was a sweet card and she brought bubbles and limoncello with dessert. I am giving 4 stars not 5 because it seems there was a little misstep in the flow of everything, the timing of entrees, having to send a drink back.. just a few little things. Maybe they had a few people off that night. The food was incredible and we will be back!

    Oh my goodness, this place was so good! I had the Roasted Chicken Agrodolce which was served over this sweet carrot crema. It was melt in your mouth good! My fiancé had the Pappardelle Al Ragu, he said the handmade noodles and sauce were to die for. We also enjoyed the Misticanza salad, but I thought the balsamic was a bit strong and the spiced honey ricotta packed a sweet heat punch to the Focaccia. I dont know if I would add on the ricotta again, I think focaccia is delicious on its own. We sat upstairs for dinner and it was a very romantic setting, but it was a bit loud in the room since there was a large table next to us, coupled with wood flooring. At times, I had to repeat myself to my partner across the table. However, I will say the service was great, our food came quickly and our server was knowledgeable on the food and changes they've made to the menu. I would definitely recommend this place to family + friends.

    Legami is an incredibly cute spot. The vibe and decor is 10/10. I love the different indoor and outdoor space they offer. Came here with some girlfriends and sampled a good amount of food which was all yummy. Random but the chicken was amazing. Not something I typically order but soooo good. The drinks were okay probably would just stick to food next time. One thing to note is I ordered the hamachi crudo and was served tuna. Then was informed that they do this when they run out of yellowtail. Didn't appreciate this.

    My fiancé and I were visiting Charleston and saw incredible reviews for Legami and were super excited to try it out! Atmosphere: the restaurant is super cute - great vibes! Very trendy and it was busy the entire time! Our waitress was awesome and super fun. Appetizer: we ended up getting the burrata appetizer and it was unreal. 10/10 would get again Main course: I ordered the ravioli and it wasn't anything spectacular, especially not for the price. I was expecting a super "wow" sauce and it sorta tasted like tomato paste. It wasn't bad by any means, I just think I expected more. They also ran out of lobster after we had ordered so my fiancé had to switch his meal.. but he ended up loving his food (I forget what he even got... oops) Overall, it was a nice place. But the ravioli was subpar compared to the rest of the meal and experience.

    Amazing food & even better service. Naomi was the best and my lobster dinner was amazing. She was so informative of everything on the menu and beyond attentive. Will definitely be back again!

    Beautiful plates

    Legami is new to Charleston, so we had to give it a try. I love that they have a GF pasta option and their braised oxtail ragu was fantastic as a GF option. Their dirty martini needs some work. It was cloudy, or too dirty. We started with the burrata, which was good but not the usual burrata consistency. It was more like mozzarella. The octopus app was on the smaller size Justin called it "super skimpy". We did love the atmosphere and had a great server! Overall a fun experience with friends.

Our bartenders were also phenomenal and really added to the experience. We came to celebrate during my birthday and started with a champagne flight, which was such a fun touch. For food, we ordered the steak and eggs and the Applewood bacon omelette. My girlfriend's steak and eggs were phenomenal. Truly no notes. Everything was cooked well, the pacing was great, and we never felt rushed. I ordered the Applewood bacon omelette, and this was really my only disappointment. There was almost too much bacon, which sounds ridiculous to complain about, but hear me out. The bacon was diced extremely fine, almost to the consistency of bacon bits, while the onions were left sliced. I think it would have worked much better if either the bacon had been cut a little larger or the onions had been diced down to match. The textures just felt mismatched. I could absolutely see the vision, and the flavor was there, but the execution was a little off. I ended up regretting my choice a little and wishing I had ordered the mushroom omelette instead. That is definitely what I'll be trying next time. I also wish there had been an option to substitute the home fries. This is definitely more of a personal preference, but home fries feel so overdone as a brunch side, and I would have loved another option. Those were really my only critiques in an otherwise fantastic experience. The atmosphere was beautiful, the bartenders were phenomenal, the pacing was great, and the food overall was delicious. Church and Union is absolutely somewhere I would come back to, whether for another celebration, brunch, or a date night.

Despite there being servers it didn't seem that anyone wanted to take tables so the solution was for guests to order drinks/food at the downstairs bar and bring it up to the deck themselves. While the bartender was nice, fast, and good at her job everyone else around her just didn't seem to care to provide service. The chips on the trio platter were beyond stale and since servers didn't care to serve the top deck tables were left unbussed and dirty. Not sure if this experience was a case of severe understaffing or just negligence on the management. I'd recommend going to literally any other rooftop bar for a more elevated experience where the staff actually wants to serve the guests.

From the moment I walked in, the vibe was intimate, beautiful, and the perfect setting for a relaxed Saturday night cap. What made the experience truly special was the bartender. There's no traditional menu, instead, he takes the time to learn what you like and crafts drinks based on your taste. I've never experienced anything like that before. The level of knowledge and creativity behind the bar was incredible. Every drink he made was stunning and tasted even better than it looked. I was honestly so impressed that I couldn't even remember all the ingredients he mentioned because I was too busy being amazed at how good everything was. It was one of those moments where you realize there are real levels to this craft. I walked in thinking I knew a thing or two about mixing drinks at home, and left with a whole new respect for the art of it. The atmosphere, the personal attention, and the quality of the cocktails made this place feel truly top tier. Huge shoutout to the bartender, easily a 15 out of 10. Cool, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. If you're looking for an intimate spot for date night or just want to experience thoughtfully crafted cocktails in a beautiful setting, the Annex is the place. I will absolutely be back as soon as possible.
