    Our favorite dinner on a recent week long trip to Charleston SC! The restaurant is beautiful, the servers were warm and welcoming and food was delicious!

    Reservation required. Nice atmosphere. Service was superb. The staff was very professional. Well groomed and friendly. The food surpassed my expectations. It was a memorable meal.

    Truffled Macaroni & Cheese
    Kiana K.

    I walked in without a reservation and was seated immediately. The staff was very friendly and had great recommendations. The food was delivered quickly, and was so good ! The truffled Macaroni and cheese was probably the highlight of the night. The dim lights and quiet music made for a suave and sophisticated dinner.

    Oh. My. Goodness. Marbled and Fin has secured a spot as one of my top CHS restaurants! A friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a girls dinner since she's out of state. Reservations were at 515 and we arrived about a half hour early. The hostess was an absolute doll. So sweet, personable, and helpful. She let us know they would seat us closer to our designated time but to help ourselves to a seat at the bar. Started with delicious cocktails with fun innuendos. Very strong. Lovely. The hostess came back later and escorted us to our seats - and the fun dinner service began. You receive a complimentary welcome cocktail table side - tonight was a peach gimlet. No notes! We decided to try a little of everything (thank you to our amazing waiter- he let us know serving sizes and suggesting splitting some appetizers). We had the scallops, Caesar and milk bread. I don't think there was a single morsel left on those plates. For dinner we had the wet aged ribeye with the bone marrow & salmon. Sides: steak fries, lobster Mac and cheese, creamed spinach, and asparagus. The steak fries were such a stand out. Wow. never would have thought but incredible! Dessert had to be the affogato & crème brulee. Everything was Devine. The restaurant is bright and airy and incredibly beautiful. We sat at the bar booths and there was a little blonde girl who was so on top of refilling our water that it became comical. She was such a doll! Cannot say enough about her Incredible restaurant- impeccable service. Needs to be on any CHS list!

    Sat at the bar. Chris was our bartender. I could not decide what I wanted to drink, so I ask him to make me something with vodka both times I wasn't disappointed with what he made me. For dinner and have the black and tuna and cream, spinach and dessert. I mean Monday is very laid-back not too busy. I was very good.

    Where do I even start? Marbled & Fin delivered one of the most memorable dining experiences we've had in Charleston. So much so that we came back for brunch the very next morning before hitting the road back to Atlanta. Dinner started with the dressed oysters and I'm still thinking about them. Grape and caviar on an oyster? Absolute genius. Light, briny, luxurious - they set the tone perfectly. The milk bread that followed was pillowy and buttery, the kind you have to resist devouring before your entrée arrives. For mains, I had the salmon and my partner had the grouper. Both were phenomenal. The salmon was perfectly seared with a gorgeous crust and sat in a dreamy herb cream sauce dotted with roe. The grouper was equally impressive, plated with confidence and cooked beautifully. The creamed spinach on the side was rich and satisfying without being heavy. The Eat, Slay, Love cocktail was a spiced (not spicy!) surprise: warm, complex, and completely unique. Brunch the next day? Just as impressive. We doubled down on the dressed oysters because there was no way we were leaving without them again. He had the shaved ham Benedict and I had the fish sandwich. Both were excellent. This place is firing on all cylinders, morning and night. Already planning the next Charleston trip around a return visit.

    What an incredible restaurant! After living in Charleston for over two years, I can't believe this was my first time. I highly recommend this for birthdays, anniversaries, friends, or family in town, etc. We split the wedge salad, and I am thankful we did because it is MASSIVE. I can be picky with my wedge salads, and this was by far one of the best I've ever had. We saw the table next to us enjoying the Broiled Oysters & Bone Marrow, and I'm so glad that we ordered it. It was so unique in flavor and delicious. For our main entree, we both ordered the NY Strip, and our server was excellent in ensuring our steaks were cooked to our taste. Overall, it was a delightful evening with excellent service, food, and lighting.

    *Brunch Review* Mimosa Tower. That is all. But seriously - if you're looking for a delicious brunch in the downtown area look no further than Marbled & Fin. Friends and I stopped in recently to celebrate my birthday. From the moment we walked through the door, the entire experience was fantastic. The food was delicious, the service superb, and the mimosa cocktail tower (which was the entire reason I wanted to dine here) was everything I wanted it to be for our table. As an added plus, they do have a small free parking lot adjacent to the restaurant but just make sure you dont park in one of the designated spots for the hotel it shares the parking lot with. In addition to the tower, a few of the standout brunch items we enjoyed were the: - tuna tartare - steak and eggs - french toast - truffle mac & cheese - creme brulee The tartare and mac & cheese were definitely table favorites that had us all fighting over the last few bites. If you're looking for an impeccable meal, add Marbled & Fin to your list in Charleston. I'll definitely be back to enjoy dinner service in the near future.

    Luxury bites
    Ollie G.

    If you're looking for a Charleston restaurant for special occasions this is it. Total bill for two was $600 including tip. But we ordered a decent amount. Got all three lux bites which were delicious and tiny. The bone marrow and roasted oysters were a show stopper. GENEROUS amount of hot bone marrow and you get a basket of charred bread to make open faced oyster bone marrow toast. Insane. Beef carpaccio was very nice. Good size. We had the Australian Wagyu filet mignon rare which was super tender. And the Australian Wagyu rib eye rare which was delicious though had a decent amount of inedible fat. But that's a ribeye for ya. No room for dessert but they did give us chocolates. Also gave us free champagne for my birthday which I do beleive was champagne and not prosecco. Great spot but be ready to spend it all.

    Just us, celebrating our anniversary. These seats are the best for two.

    Marbled & Fin is excellent! It's that simple. If you're looking for a fantastic dinner to celebrate an occasion, then this is it. We stopped by one evening for cocktails before dinner elsewhere and were very impressed with the bar, the vibe and the service. We later returned for that special occasion dinner to celebrate our anniversary and the service was fantastic, on point, and special. We sat at the circular seats by the bar, were greeted with a special welcome note and house cocktail which was great. Their cocktail menu has something for everyone, but I had to order my favorite cocktail, the Last Word. Their dinner menu is stunning with luxury bites, raw bar items, starters & salads, sides, and then their fine selection of red meats and seafood entrees. We had starters of hamachi crudo, broiled oysters & bone marrow, and caesar salad. The hamichi was fresh and amazing, while the oysters & bone marrow had a richness that was impressive. I had a NY strip, while my husband had a filet. We also enjoyed sides of roasted mushrooms and roasted carrots. Everything was paced perfectly, allowing us time to enjoy the moment of each course. Then the service was superb from beginning to end. Marbled & Fin made us feel special, and the dinner was amazing, and one to remember.

    Always a great meal with excellent service. One of my favorite places in Charleston. The milk bread is a favorite and all the cocktails are so good and unique.

    Tina M.

    Marbled & Fin brunch was great - food, service and atmosphere! Broiled oysters and bone marrow- what a flavorful dish- a must try! The espresso martini was definitely in my top 3. And the service was exceptional, thanks to Rebecca!

    Emma P.

    Absolutely loved everything we ordered. The bone marrow and baked oysters were the star of the show followed by the Australian Wagu. Also enjoyed the hamachi crudo. We got the dressed oysters but unless you like sweet oysters I would still with the regular. As always the wine list pairs perfectly with everything always. We were here to celebrate a birthday and were greeted with a card which was a lovely touch. It was a little disappointing to see other tables celebrating get a candle brought out at the end of their meal and not our table but it certainly doesn't make us love the food any less.

The room had real energy, the service was outstanding, and my filet was excellent, with a spread of classic steakhouse sides that disappeared quickly enough that the exact details have been lost to history. Somehow, our schedule ran long enough that I arrived dressed appropriately from the ankles up, then looked down and remembered I was wearing loud Nike sneakers. I spent the first few minutes feeling mildly self conscious before realizing that nobody cared: the crowd covered a real range, and the restaurant had the confidence to feel elevated without making anyone perform for admission. That ease is what I remember almost as much as the steak. Halls captures something unusually Charleston about a great night out: a serious meal, a room humming with people, and enough Southern graciousness around the edges that even the guy in loud Nikes leaves feeling entirely at home.

We had a glass of rose and a glass of red, nothing special but what you expect and at a place like this you expect to pay $15/glass. We ordered the New York strip, half orders of Brussels and mushrooms and the steak frites with truffle fries and bernaise sauce. The steaks were cooked very well which was great (it is a steakhouse), but honestly just tasted like pepper. The bernaise sauce was watery, cold and flavorless. The Brussels had some flavor, but nothing to knock your socks off and pretty much the same with the mushrooms. Honestly, the star of the show were the truffle fries. Crispy, lots of flavor and hot. You obviously have higher expectations when coming into an establishment such as Oak and sadly it let me down. There's other fabulous restaurants in Charleston and honestly other steakhouses I'd recommend. I'm glad we tried it, but I won't be rushing back.

    What an amazing lunch! We started with the rolls and honey butter. I had the prime rib sandwich…read morewith potato puree, and my wife had the fresh catch. Our daughter (3) had the buttered noodles. For me, the prime rib was seasoned perfectly, and the horseradish was perfectly done, not overpowering but complementary to the flavor. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection! We finished off with the peach cobbler for dessert, and you've never had a peach cobbler like this; so good! Service was top notch, everything was timed perfectly and the recommendations were on point. The ambiance was really great; classy but relaxed. We love trying new places, but with a 3y and 6mo old, we are always a bit nervous how they will be received. The staff here were so kind. From the moment we walked through the door, we felt we belonged. One special mention, Melanie took time to stop by our table and engage us and our daughter in conversation (she's normally really shy). It was clear Melanie is sincere and really cares for people. Within a minute, our daughter was sharing all the things we've done and seen and was chatting away. This transformed the lunch into a true experience! Thank you for an amazing farewell lunch, we can't wait until we return!

The James doesn't stick out and I had driven by it hundreds of times since moving to the area. Parking was easy in the back lot and I was surprised to see just how packed it became by the time we left. Upon entering the staff was very nice and happy to see us. We got a table and got our menus. The cocktail menu looked exciting but we decided to skip drinks in lieu of dessert. For dinner my wife ordered the pecan fried chicken and I ordered the prime rib melt. The toasted cherry sauce was creamy and very tasty. I found the prime rib melt good. It unfortunately was a bit bland overall with the au jus being a bit too watered down. Overall though I think the food was good. For dessert we had a creme brûlée that was top notch. I'm glad we got that instead of drinks. Our server and the other service staff were attentive and quick. I drank a lot of water and didn't have to wait long for a refill. I wouldn't hesitate to come back and explore some other dishes.

    After a full weekend of eating our way through Charleston, Frannie & The Fox ended up being our…read morefavorite meal...and it almost didn't happen! My husband found this spot last minute since it was just a short walk from our hotel. We arrived pretty close to the kitchen closing, and while they mentioned we could still order at the bar, our server, Miseal, graciously offered to seat us at a table and take care of us anyway. That level of hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. We kept it simple and shared the Octopus Salad and the Taleggio Pizza, and wow...every single bite was packed with flavor. The pizza, cooked in the wood-fired brick oven, had the perfect crispy yet chewy crust with rich, melty cheese. The octopus was tender, fresh, and beautifully balanced. It was honestly the best meal we had all weekend. I paired everything with a refreshing brut rose while my husband enjoyed a beer, and it couldn't have been a better way to end our Charleston trip. The atmosphere is stylish and lounge-like with a romantic feel...perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening after exploring the city. A huge thank you to Miseal for making us feel so welcome, even at the end of the night. Great food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable experience. This will absolutely be one of our first stops the next time we're in Charleston.

    Galpão Gaucho Brazilian Steakhouse - Food Review 4.6 / 5…read moreStars If you're looking for an authentic Brazilian steakhouse experience in Charleston, Galpão Gaucho delivers a premium, meat-forward dining experience that leans heavily into quality, variety, and attentive service. The Experience From the moment you sit down, the pace is noticeable--in a good way. Service is fast and efficient, with gauchos consistently rotating through the dining room offering a wide selection of fire-roasted meats. The rhythm of service keeps your plate full without feeling rushed, which is exactly what you want in a traditional Brazilian steakhouse setting. Food Quality & Selection The highlight here is undeniably the extensive variety of meats. From classic cuts like picanha to a range of seasoned beef, chicken, and pork options, there's no shortage of choices. Each cut is carved tableside and served fresh off the skewer, giving you that authentic churrascaria feel. The salad and vegetable bar is impressively large, offering everything from fresh greens and roasted vegetables to cheeses and cold cuts. It's not just filler--it's actually well-stocked and thoughtfully prepared, making it easy to balance out the heavier meat options (if you have the discipline). What Stands Out Fast, continuous service - you're never waiting long for the next cut Wide variety of meats - something for every preference Large, well-rounded salad bar - more than just an afterthought Attentive staff - consistent with what you'd expect from a high-end Brazilian steakhouse Where It Falls Short Salt level can be a bit heavy on some meats, which may not suit everyone Price point (~$85 per person) puts it firmly in the premium dining category Parking is limited, though nearby parking decks make it manageable with a short walk Final Verdict Galpão Gaucho is a solid choice for a high-end dining experience in Charleston, especially if you're going in hungry and want to indulge. While the seasoning can occasionally lean too salty and the price isn't light, the overall experience--driven by quality meats, variety, and strong service--makes it worth it for a special occasion or a serious night out. Best for: Date nights, celebrations, business dinners, or anyone wanting a true Brazilian steakhouse experience without compromise.
