Mother's Day really was my day. Marianne was our very nice server and when she said the special of the day, I was crazy excited. Boy did they live up to expectations. Quite large ( and you got 2 shockingly) with the crispiest and very flavorful crust, then to bite into huge chunks of perfectly cooked crab. Heaven! The dish also came with mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked asparagus with a lovely sauce on the bottom of the plate.,I am critical of every asparagus I've had in a restaurant. Not these. I also had their famous crab cakes with buerre blanc sauce. I held myself back from licking that plate! What a Mama's day I had!!!

Pros - We were sat inside instantly upon arriving and they have a pretty good happy hour from 4-7 with oysters and variety of appetizer and drink specials. The oysters both raw, and char boiled tasted amazing. We were automatically off to a good start, our server was nice too. Cons - Their special risotto was one of the most disgusting dishes I've had this entire visit. The rice was crunchy in some spots, and extremely overcooked in others. On top of that the fish it included was under seasoned, overcooked, and extremely dry. I've made better risotto at home, for restaurant grade this was beyond horrible. Our server didn't check on us until I had struggled to eat whatever parts of my dish didn't taste completely horrible (there were very few.) I would recommend coming here for the happy hour. They have plenty of bar, indoor, and outdoor seating. Avoid the specials.

We were taken to our table where we met James J. Absolute class act of a server. Our drinks were never empty and this is all while the place was packed! This also never happens. The food is so amazing. Nothing we ordered was a let down. For as busy as they were the quality of food was exceptional! Could not recommend more. It is a new must when we come to Charleston. Yes the price was on the high side but well worth it. I loved the way they made you feel like you were sitting at grandmas house having family dinner. Definitely worth it.

They had a nice selection of drinks and food to choose from. Our server was very nice and she always came back to check on us. The atmosphere was cool. Nice restaurant with a nice bar area. The food was very good. Different but very tasty. The drinks were also very good.

I ate here midday on a Thursday during happy hour. The salsa with the chips was great! The queso I…read moreordered wasn't the best, I prefer the white queso that's creamy and rich. This was a bland yellow queso that was like pre packaged cheese dip.. I also ordered the flank steak it came with rice and beans, corn & tortillas. I ordered the steak medium and it came out rare. I didn't eat the steak and told my server yet he still left it on my check and didn't comp anything else (like a cheaper item on the bill such as a drink or the queso) or discount anything. As a server myself I do have high expectations but my guy was a big letdown. The other server working was more attentive and personable! They also did not have any high chairs. It was a beautiful restaurant but I will not be back.

SERVICE Service was timely with our reservation and good about taking orders and bringing out food; however, they don't acknowledge special occasions, I learned. There's not point in adding it to the reservation. II. QUALITY Highly recommend the raw oysters! The texture reveals how fresh they truly are. The atmosphere is wonderful but it felt like there was barely any air conditioning or even air circulation within the restaurant. The company I was with kept complaining the entire visit; I tend to run on the cold side of body temperature and even I was sweating at the booth table by the door. III. CAPACITY Amens is in a very busy area so if you plan on coming on the weekend, 100% make a reservation.

My boyfriend and I went for happy hour and were so pleasantly surprised. I've been trying to avoid…read moretourist traps and we finally found an amazing spot with great food and wonderful pricing. First we were told to grab a seat anywhere so we sat at the oyster shucking station. The man shucking oysters (forgot his name, sorry!) was super kind and very knowledgeable and got our oysters ready in no time. I ordered 6 raw oysters and my bf got 6 oysters steamed. Due to a small mixup in the kitchen, my bf's steamed oysters came out a bit late, however they were delicious according to him. My raw ones were fresh and sooooo yummy. It was also happy hour so each oyster was only $1.50. Best price in the area!!! We grabbed some other happy hour menu items: hushpuppies, peel and eat steamed shrimp, steamed clams, and we ordered a side snow crab cluster not on happy hour. Everything was DELICIOUS. We walked out of there feeling good about the money we spent and we now have a place to go to every time we are in town. The ONLY downside was our waiter. He's lucky I forgot his name because he was awful and had the personality of a doorknob. I almost wanted to speak to the manager about him because he brought the vibe down. Horrible customer service, doesn't know how to be professional, and even when I waved goodbye saying thank you with a huge smile he just stared at me and didn't say anything. He needs a talking to because it's not that hard to be kind to others or have a little personality, especially in the hospitality industry.

Overall I had a pleasant experience, which may not be reflected in the amount of stars I'm giving them. If I could do a 3.5 I would. The food was the highlight of my experience. We got the pimento cheese balls to start, which were absolutely delicious. Then I got the shrimp mac and cheese, which was also pretty good. Nothing to write home about. My drink was pretty bad, which I partially blame myself for just for ordering poorly. It tasted like tequila and red dye 40 in a martini glass. It was also lukewarm when I got it. If I'm paying around $15 for a drink, it needs to be good. As you can kinda tell by the picture, the lights in the restaurant were ON. Which isn't really a problem, but it doesn't really make for a cool ambiance.
