They also didn't have their HH menu updated online so there were things we wanted but couldn't get because it was a different menu. We ended up getting a couple dozen oysters, smoked fish dip and crispy tuna rice. Oysters were fresh and nicely chilled, tuna rice was well seasoned and the fish dip was ok, didn't have any smoky flavor or element to it and lacked in flavor. We ended up moving back down with our friends who had dogs so they ordered from the regular menu. The server was very accommodating and friendly. My friend got the burnt ends Mac n cheese and that was delicious! The place itself was huge and I could see it being a great spot for private events. Overall we had a good time.

Halls Chophouse feels like Charleston translated into steakhouse form: handsome, lively, deeply…read morehospitable, and just polished enough to make dinner feel like an event. I was in town for work, joining a handful of colleagues who had traveled in from our various remote outposts, and Halls was exactly the right place to turn a productive day into a proper night out. 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.

Review #3 of My Charleston vacation 20-plus Review Challenge:…read more Since Hall's Chophouse opened in 2009, it has gained a reputation for their stellar steak. It is a family owned business located on historic King Street approximately a block north of Marion Square and a block west of the Charleston Visitor Center. With their highly prized steak is an elegant ambiance. And the higher prices expected in an upscale restaurant. It is an exquisite choice to celebrate a special occasion. The special occasion that we celebrated here was starting off our Charleston vacation with a magnificent dinner. We happened to find Hall's Chophouse by walking along King Street. When we paused to look at the outside menu, a lady who seemed to be a local, told us that they have the best steak. Meanwhile, the place were giving off such good vibes that we walked inside. From the time that we walked inside the historic building, the service was phenomenal. After we were seated, the waitress explained the different steaks and menu items. Throughout the meal she would make sure that we were having a great experience. What made the service extraordinarily memorable was when the owner Mr. Hall checked up on us. How often do you see that? And after we finished the meal and were walking onto King Street, Mr. Hall thanked us for visiting. That gave a very good last impression. We sat in the room that is to the right of the main room. I would describe it as elegant with a historic Charleston vibe. The noise level and lighting was perfect. So was the food. Hall's Chophouse is more than stellar steak. I could attest to this from their shrimp and grits. I was more in the mood for seafood than steak. Perusing the dinner menu, I saw shrimp and grits. It costs $38. This was the first time that I ever had shrimp and grits. What an introduction to the Low Country favorite. It was out of this world. This wasn't filler shrimp. They were jumbo shrimp and lots of them. The tasso ham gravy, onions, peppers, and stone cold grits melted in my mouth. The dish was a lavish portion. Preceding the meal, they served a basket of hot bread. With the food, I drank a Coke. The way they serve it is that the Waitress opens a 16 ounce bottle and pours it in a glass (not bottomless). In hindsight, I should have ordered a beer or glass of wine. Halls Chophouse was an exquisite choice to celebrate Charleston with our first meal in the City. The food, service, and ambiance were spectacular.

For food, I tried the fried catfish entree and Green apple-cauliflower soup. Both dishes were good. The fish was very tender and juicy. The butter bean succutash, which I never had before, contained butter beans, black eyed peas, corns, green and red peppers and red onions. It was delicious but since beans are of high FODMAP, I only had a little. The fish was topped with tomato jam made with crushed tomatoes, onions and sugar. It was served chilled. Paired well with the fish and succutash. The soup was creamy, silky, and full of flavor from cauliflower. The pistachio added some crunchiness to it. The taste of "green apple" was not obvious; in fact I was expecting there to be some apple slices, which could add extra texture and sourness to this rich soup. I also asked for a side of sourdough. A bit too salty for me. The service was kinda slow, except that food came out in reasonable amoutn of time **after I placed the order**, that is, I waited quite a while to order my food. The same for doing the check. I guess it was because there were not many staff at lunchtime, and most of them were senior thus could move as fast as young ppl.

The wedge salad was fine but lacked depth in the dressing. Comparable to any other, nothing special. My biggest problem: the steaks. They once again, overcooked my steak. Out of politeness I never said anything but a medium rare order was a medium to medium well. My wife ordered a medium and you could not tell a temperature difference between hers and mine. The side dishes were phenomenal (creamed spinach and truffle Mac and cheese). The dessert: we had a strawberry shortcake that was good but again, it felt like the flavors were a bit too bland for a steakhouse dessert. We have given this place two tries. Unfortunately considering the competition when it comes to high end steakhouses downtown Charleston, I don't think we will be back.

The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the service throughout our lunch was attentive and welcoming. Everyone at our table loved their meals -- burgers, fries, and sandwiches all around with rave reviews. I ordered "The Bird," and it was absolutely delicious: perfectly cornmeal-breaded with a crispy fried crunch on the outside while staying incredibly moist and flavorful inside. Instead of cake, our group brought blueberry pies and vanilla ice cream, and the staff graciously took everything to the kitchen, sliced and plated the pie, added generous scoops of ice cream, and even placed birthday candles on each slice. Such a thoughtful touch that made the celebration extra special. The atmosphere along the water made it even better. Watching kayaks, paddle boards, and boats pass along Shem Creek while enjoying lunch was the perfect backdrop for a celebration. This has definitely become a new favorite spot for our group!

The first floor was composed mainly of booths; the second level (where we ate) had table seating; and the third floor had tables as well. Like any great steakhouse, there was a lot of wood, but thanks to the rugs and curtains, the restaurant never became loud. The food was absolutely superb! The steak was perfectly cooked, and my tile fish could not have been flakier or tastier. The sides were spectacular. The crab cake had coleslaw as a topping. I had never seen that combination before. It sounds strange, but it really worked! The oysters, just try them, and you will have them again. Great food without great service leaves an experience unfulfilled. The service at Oak was exceptional! It was my wife's birthday, and I noted that on the online reservation. She was greeted at check-in with a happy birthday wish, the menu had "happy birthday" printed on it, and the dessert she ordered was brought to our table, as shown in the photo.

The restaurant itself is lovely in a historic setting with 3 floors and a lot of classic, traditional touches. First things first, the service was wonderful. We had a reservation and were immediately sat by the hostess and greeted by our server. He gave us recommendations and told us half orders of the sides were available since it was only my husband and I. 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.

The Caesar dressing was quite good , not too much cheese which I like. I would have preferred some toasted bread crumbs over bagged croutons but I should have just asked to leave them off. It's rare to find a place that makes croutons anymore. My companion had fish tacos and they were blackened beautifully. And on a day that was hot as hades, that air conditioning worked great!!

One thing that immediately stood out was that they were open late on a Sunday. We arrived around 8 PM, which was incredibly convenient, and since the restaurant wasn't crowded, we were seated right away. Our server (I unfortunately don't remember her name, she was blonde and incredibly friendly) provided what was probably the best service we experienced during our entire trip. She was attentive, welcoming, and made excellent recommendations. We ordered the 2x California Burger, chicken sandwich, a gyro, side salads (they put the dressing on the salads, it was actually the perfect amount for me, but just be warned, ask for it on the side if you want to add it yourself), and a cheesesteak. The gyro (I got lamb) was recommended by our server, and it did not disappoint! Everything was fantastic, but the burgers deserve special recognition. Whoever was working the grill that night deserves a raise. Hands down, the best burger we had on our entire trip. The seasoning was perfect, the patties were thick and juicy, and they had an amazing char that took them to the next level. We also upgraded to the Aloha Fries, which were a great addition and definitely worth trying. From the outstanding food to the exceptional service, Coleman Public House exceeded our expectations in every way. We'll definitely be back because there are still so many items on the menu we want to try.
