    Across the Pond
    Kris G.

    The atmosphere is plush and luxe. Low-lit and cozy yet lively with bustling waitstaff and patrons. The dining experience itself was a stellar 5-star thanks to Andrew! He made the night unforgettable. The hibiscus flower ice cube in the Across the Pond added complex flavor levels as it melted and would order that twice over. The amuse Bouche was a pleasant surprise. They were very accommodating with allergies and preferences. The dishes came out beautifully presented! The golden beet soup was refreshingly delicious. The lobster bisque was only okay, which was a bit disappointing as it tasted like a thin tomato soup with a smattering of seafood. The scallops were exquisite. Probably some of the best I've personally tasted. One party said they were under-cooked, but I felt they were perfect. I absolutely LOVED the sweet pea pods and tendrils and the butternut squash orange color pop beneath them with the lemon gel. The risotto was overly salted but the lump Crab was plentiful and fresh. The lump Crab cavatelli was okay, but didn't stand out. The dessert was splendidly divine- the mini cheesecake was light and fluffy with a mango atop it served with a tart Red Currant gelato that was fantastic. They really know how to make a birthday experience special complete with candle and a chocolate emblazoned Happy Birthday from the Charleston Place Hotel! Glad we were able to make it in before they closed and can't wait to see what they bring next for another nice dining experience in. Charleston.

    Thanksgiving pork belly and brussel sprouts.

    My family made reservations for The highly demanded seatings for Thanksgiving well in advance after having great service and meals here prior. Overall my food was great in display and preparation. Pork belly tasted great which is a rarity to find one so perfectly cooked. Brussel sprouts baked just right. My slight disappointment was the Thanksgiving turkey meal. It didn't really stand out compared to everything else including the rest of the Thanksgiving menu and prior visits. It was very traditional and basic in taste which I expected more of when going to an upscale venue like this. My pumpkin cheese cake dessert, while looking like space food, had fantastic flavor and consistency. I think one of my biggest highlights here is the staff; they are amazing. They have such charisma, passion, and knowledge of their menus and wine. They're extremely accommodating as well , and the manager always checks on your satisfaction. Special props to our server who put up with my dad's jokes! The atmosphere is very intimate in some of the rooms, and they even had some live music on Thanksgiving. The whole establishment seemed well put together, and everyone seem to take their job with the utmost sincerity, care, and professionalism. Great job to everyone who works there.

    Creative dishes and superb locally sourced produce and purveyors are found at Charleston Grill. Think Southern, French and Contemporary cuisines! From the sophisticated bar and lounge area to the whitewashed dining room your special meal will be an experience to remember. Service is super attentive and friendly. Every detail is noted when being served. "The Grill" is a wonderful place~ be it a romantic dinner for two, a gathering with friends and family, or a reason to celebrate ~ you will enjoy a special dining experience here. 4 Diamond Experience. Nightly jazz in an elegant setting. Great special occasion place!

    6 oz. Prime Beef Tenderloin

    Service was above and beyond. I let them know on Rezy it was our anniversary. We were seated on the couch side by side instead of a regular table. We were also given a hand written notecard wishing us a happy anniversary and thanking us for spending it with them. We split the onion brodo soup for our appetizer which we both loved. Like French onion soup without the cheese. For our entrees my husband had the tenderloin which he said was one of the best he's ever had. Small portion but he was satisfied. I had the grilled eggplant that was served with the mushroom au poivre poured over at the table. I have never had eggplant served that way and I thought it was delicious. I did find it salty but I love salt. If you do not like salt, express it to your waiter ahead of time bc you will be disappointed. Cocktails were on point. Too full for dessert but the chocolate candy they gave us was perfect. Highly recommend for a special occasion. Live jazz was excellent and just the right sound level. Very romantic. Items labeled "v" for vegan and "gf" for gluten free which was super helpful

    We had our date night at Charleston Grill last week. We haven't been to this restaurant for quite a while. And this place offer a fine dining experience. We had early dinner reservation which was at 5:45 pm. Our waiter, James, was knowledgeable with the menu, very attentive with our needs and he had another server that came and help him that night, Sasha, and she was very sweet and always made sure our water refilled and our table and food deliver promptly. For starter, we had yellowfin tuna nicoise and it was amazing! It seared both sides with seasalt and the nicoise sauce was so good! Our waiter brought us crab cake as a compliment for our table and it was fantastic! Its a good size of crab meat with vierge sauce and caper, my favorite. Sasha brought us the sour bread and herb bread to our table and a small sauce plate with greek yogurt, Pomegranate and orange spices while we were waiting for our main course. Then for my main course I had local catch, which was crusted snapper that taste amazing! Love the spicy sauce that they made with Italian chili pepper and I asked James to replace the wax beans with brocollini which the chef was able to accommodate it. My husband had Chantel farm wagyu tenderloin from local farm in Augusta, Ga. It cooked to perfection and came with potatoes puree and amazing mushroom and the serve on top of bourgingnon sauce, I trued the steak and it was amazing. For appetizer, we opted the amazing apple desert that came with apple sorbet and they were party in my mouth! James also brought a brownie and coconut ball as q compliment for our table. I love all these food compliments that made our dinner feel special. Our meal and the drink selection at this place are top notch! The service quality and the atmosphere of this restaurant were excellent! The manager came to our table to check on us and we got to talk about the steak and some local favorite restaurants that he recommended. A must visit restaurant for sure.

    Dessert in the shape of a mushroom.  Very unique and divine.

    The food was exceptional and was equaled by the classy, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. Just an overall wonderful experience. Our friends that live there had dined at Charleston Grill. It was our first time and exceeded our expectations. My wife and I both had salads with an avocado dressing and then differing dinners with fish. Delicious and exquisite. We enjoyed our Pinot Noir choice. Lastly, the desserts were ridiculously unique. The entire experience was 10/10!

    Gnudi with brown butter sauce

    The best restaurant I have ever been to in my life (on any continent). From the food (I will dream of the scallops I had) to the service (absolutely incredible waitstaff, hostesses, and host), I could not dream of a better restaurant. Each dish had so many layers that felt like they were individually nurtured. We were only visiting for a few days, and ended up coming here twice, and it was worth every bit of the money. Could not recommend this restaurant anymore.

    Not a restaurant to go out of the way for. This is a typical convention restaurant. There are so many better restaurants in Charleston than this hotel restaurant. The bread service has sour dough, rosemary focaccia, and corn bread. Corn bread was the best. The crab cakes are mediocre. Nothing great. Their best dish is the foie Gras. The steak was dry and over cooked. Not good. The lemon asparagus risotto was better than the crab cake. The crème brûlée was a classic. The lemon pound cake with blueberry sorbet was good, but the blueberry sorbet was tart and awful. Skip this place unless you are stuck in the hotel and can't get a reservation elsewhere.

    A new menu but still excellentey! I simply love the food here. The restaurant is peaceful, has excellent, respectful service, and is just one of the finest places to dine in Charleston. The food is beautifully presented and just exquisite. The bread basket varies and is hand served. Today the choice was rosemary focaccia, sourdough, rye and cornbread, served with butte with lava salt. I had the foie gras, which was served with a strawberry jam. I am blown away at the how the delicate flavors meld into one another. My main entree was the prime beef tenderloin, cooked to medium, served with potatoes that had a smoked flavor, with a sprinkling of foie gras (yes, again!) You can knock me over with a feather. Just wow! I can't say enough about this place. It's the finest of fine dining!

    Chocolate Cigar dessert

    This was our first visit of many to come. From the initial interaction on the phone to the last thank you after dinner, the experience was excellent. The two gentlemen who introduced us to the restaurant and walked us to our table were so personable. I ordered the same cocktail I order most times when having one, yet this time it was so much better. The bartender did some voodoo magic and my drink tastier than any previously. We enjoyed our wine selections, too. Two young women attended to our table throughout the evening. Excellent job. They worked well together, anticipated our needs, and we were pleased with their guidance on our selections. The food. Elegantly and creatively presented, each dish was food art. We had pork belly and lobster bisque for the first course. Main dishes. The fish dish I had was reminiscent of Frogmore stew only elevated, incredibly refined and delicious. My dining partner ordered the shrimp and pasta dish, which was incredible. The chef took simple ingredients and combined them in such unique ways and perfect amounts. So much flavor. The desserts were the final works of art to hit our table. Each was both fun and delicious. The chocolate cigar was like nothing we had ever seen or tasted. The coconut cheesecake was interesting and delicious, paired with the most perfect sorbet. The acoustic guitar and string bass duo were so enjoyable to listen to during our meal. They made complete an outstanding dining experience. So glad we went on a Sunday to hear them. The dining room is quiet, comfortable, beautifully decorated. I cannot overlook mentioning the beautiful tableware. I love a comfy dining chair and to be able to hear the people speak at my table. The music volume was just right for enjoying the music as well as the table conversation. We had a great evening at the Charleston Grill.

    Crab cake
    Val T.

    Stars are for ambiance, great service and cleanliness. The main attraction however was lackluster. Nothing we ordered was seasoned very well and the portions were tiny considering the prices. Won't return except maybe to the bar.

    Amazing crab cake ! Order it ! It's the best in Charleston !

    Is there parking or a valet?

    The hotel has a parking garage and they have valet parking.

Rich textures, warm lighting, and that unmistakable southern charm create an intimate, welcoming atmosphere that feels purposely hidden. Katie, serving as both bartender and host, elevated the entire experience. She was gracious, professional, and genuinely friendly the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back before you've even left.

There's a comprehensive cocktail menu and the French 75ish and the tiramisu martini were both delicious ($18 each). The prices are super comparable with other bars downtown. They have a full bar if you'd like a standard cocktail or any other creation I'm sure they could make it. Our server was great and very attentive. The kitchen stopped serving food at 10pm which I wish we had been told when we came in because I tried to order fries at 10:04 and was told I couldn't. Which I understand I just wish I had known. The place is pretty small and dark and very quiet so the perfect place for a calm nightcap.
