“ Absolutely phenomenal dining experience! Charleston Grill has easily become my favorite restaurant. The tasting menu was divine—every course was flavorful, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully curated. The live jazz music and elegant atmosphere added the perfect touch to an already wonderful evening. What truly set the night apart, though, was our server, Sterling. From start to finish, Sterling was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening. His exceptional service turned a great meal into an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to come back! ”
“ The perfect restaurant. The food, service, and ambiance are incredible here. The Waygu tenderloin was the best steak I’ve ever had. The crab cake and carrot cake were also amazing. Our servers, Drew and Jennifer, were helpful, friendly, and engaging. They were awesome. The restaurant has such a comfortable, peaceful vibe to it. We loved the live music too. I have been to just about every fine dining restaurant in Charleston and the Charleston Grill is now my favorite. ”
“ We had a business dinner there for 12 people. Julia was fantastic to coordinate everything with ahead of time. We had a special set menu for the evening that covered the bases so everyone would have something they enjoyed. Everything from the bread service to the delectable main course and after dinner drinks was impeccable. Some of the best service I've received at a fine dining establishment. Thank you for the wonderful experience. ”
“ We spent our 10th anniversary here and I can’t imagine a better experience. We did the tasting experience and every single one of the 6 courses was incredible. Nothing missed. All of the staff made us feel like a VIP but our server, Sterling, truly made our experience a night we’ll always remember. He was so warm and friendly while still maintaining impeccable service. And the jazz band was just the cherry on top. I cannot recommend Charleston Grill enough for a dinner and especially for a special celebration. We’ll be talking about our dinner for years to come. ”
