Found this place driving across the bridge from Charleston. Located very close to the USS Yorktown, with a view of it from the restaurant. The restaurant was vey relaxing, got right in for dinner. The service was excellent! The Shrimp N Grits was a delicious entree. read more

Food was good. Service was HORRIBLE! Restaurant is very loud, not the people, the building amplifies sound easily. The views is probably the best selling point to this place. Waitress forgot to put in our appetizers, so we had to reorder them. Waitress got one of our dinner orders wrong but it was fixed easily. Calamari was very good, hot crab dip was okay, very little crab but a lot of cheese. Ordered she crab soup, came out cold. Once warmed up I'm sure in the microwave. it was good. Food itself was fantastic, I got the fish and chips, best fried cob I have ever had. Caldo de mariscos was good as well. The CHFH does had an amazing view of the uss yorktown and the harbor. Perfect to be at sunset it is truly beautiful. All in all food here is delicious if served correctly. Service wasn't the best but friendly staff nonetheless, and restaurant can't become very loud. If you want seafood highly suggest trying to get into fleet landing instead. Pay about the same prices for better food and service read more

We've held our annual reunion dinner at Charleston Harbor Fish House for four years now, so this visit was disappointing compared to past experiences. The food itself was good -- no complaints there -- but the customer service side struggled throughout the evening. We had reserved a private room in advance through the manager, but when we arrived, that had been changed without any prior notice, and we were placed in the main dining room near the kitchen traffic. That created a situation where staff frequently needed us to move so they could get by with food, which made the experience feel rushed and awkward for a group dinner. There was also confusion around splitting checks. We were initially told checks could be split (as has been done for our group before), but during the meal there was pressure to combine everything into one bill and divide it ourselves, which added unnecessary stress to what should have been a relaxed gathering. The interaction around billing ultimately felt punitive toward our group rather than accommodating. At one point we were told that if we chose not to return next year, that would be understood -- which was surprising to hear given that our group has been coming for several years as a tradition. For context, I've been a Yelp Elite member for 10 years and have certainly had meals with mediocre food before, but it's rare to encounter service challenges like this across an entire evening. We also learned there may have been a recent ownership change, which could explain some of the inconsistencies -- but from a customer perspective, communication and expectations are still important, especially for returning groups. It's unfortunate because our group has enjoyed making this a yearly tradition, and the location and food are still strong points. I hope management can address the service and communication gaps so future guests -- especially repeat groups -- have the experience we've had in years past. read more

Lovely lunch spot. I really enjoyed my grouper BLT. My husband's burger was fine... nothing exceptional but tasty all the same. Great views and the service was good. read more

Spent our last meal in Charleston at the Charleston Harbor Fish House! Overall, it was a good experience. The restaurant is super cute inside but wasn't too busy. The views were unreal! So so pretty! (We got sat right next to the windows!) For an appetizer we got the hot crab dip. It was good but very salty. I felt the need to chug water afterwards. I am a rather picky eater which usually is not a problem, the waitress/waiter usually provides ways that I can adjust current options to fit my restrictions. It wasn't really the case here so I ordered my only option of the hot honey shrimp appetizer for my main course. It was good, very flavorful, I just was bummed that there wasn't any other dish that could be adjusted (I guess that's on me!) Overall, I might come back. The food was good and the place was cute but it wasn't anything crazy! read more

Amazing ambiance and dining experience. Our server was super friendly. We were the first ones in the dining room that looks out over the river to the aircraft carrier and he was very entertaining and engaging. All of us got the salmon and it was awesome. Great night out! read more

Tasty food and good service with a great view. Loved the crab soup and appetizers especially.

We had the best experience at your restaurant. We only went in four nights that we were at the Harbor Resort for after dinner drinks. I have to say that BRANDON was the nicest young man. He made me the perfect Expresso Martini's ever night. Please thank Brandon for his smile and excellent service. read more

The Ambiance and Services were very good but the food was very mediocre for the price and I was not impressed with the food choices

Jumped off the water taxi and tried this place. It is very bright and clean inside. We sat in the bar by the windows which had a nice view of the Yorktown. The bartender was by himself and was definitely working to cover everyone and make drinks. We had the hummus and pimento dip platter which was good as well as the spicy honey shrimp which were tasty. A nice place to grab a meal if you are in the area. read more

We stayed at the resort, and tried the Charleston Harbor Fish House, it was just fine. Not outstanding, not bad, but not great either. Would not go back, not because it was bad, but there are better options either through resort shuttle into Charleston, or less than a 5 minute drive into Mt. Pleasant. read more

This restaurant is located at a resort nearby (within walking distance) to Patriots Point Museum, making it a great stop for lunch during a tour day. You get great views of the Yorktown ship in a restaurant with fish house vibes. Tables are adorned with maps of the harbor. Service was good, and food came quickly. I had the burger because I wasn't feeling seafood, and it was really good. The fries reminded me of McDonalds fries (in a good way). My wife had the calamari and enjoyed them. The breading was really good and the marinara had good flavor. Prices are a bit high, which should be expected for a resort restaurant I suppose. read more

After attending the Fort Sumter boat tour we decided on the Charleston fish house for lunch since it is right across the parking lot. If you paid for parking at patriots point for the Yorktown or Sumter tour just walk right across the road. If you drive the turn is almost right where you come into park for the tours except on the left. You'll pay $10 to grab a ticket and go through the white parking gate. Just walk. The food was amazing!!!! Literally everything we got was delicious. Adults got the fried shrimp and oysters platter and the fried grouper blt. Melt in your mouth! We didn't know there was a children's menu, but you can get a child's burger, chicken tenders, grill cheese or butter noodles. Kids serving is a good size. You can dress to impress or not (lunch specific) for people coming from the boat experiences. read more

This is an elegant, quaint restaurant overlooking the Charleston harbor. The views were spectacular and the meal was delicious. My husband and I ordered the shareable dip platter (the pita chips had to be homemade because they were top notch) and the lobster ravioli. The ravioli were rolling in flavor and there were chunks of lobster mixed in- it was definitely worth the price. Our only complaints were related to the staff- the hostess didn't acknowledge us and instead answered the phone when we walked up for our reservation. It took 3-5 minutes to be acknowledged and seated. Our waitress was friendly but she took several minutes to flag down for more tea, water, and our bill. read more

The sad part about our experience at this place today is that it could quite easily have been outstanding, but it seemed like they were trying hard to keep that from happening. The location is wonderful, with a very nice view of the harbor and the amazing Yorktown aircraft carrier museum. Easy to get to by car, easy parking ($$ but validated). And the food was very nice - quite acceptable even by Charleston's extremely high culinary standards. Unfortunately we found the general staff attitude to be fairly lackadaisical. We arrived towards the end of lunch hour though the restaurant was still serving lunch; it took a bit of time before anyone even noticed that there were customers waiting to be seated - and this set the tone for the entire experience. We asked to be seated on the patio - which is a lovely space with lovely views and the ability to catch the refreshing harbor breezes on a beautiful day like today - but we did not realize that they had their big patio doors all closed and the air conditioning set to about 55F, thereby turning a beautiful patio space into a hermetically sealed meat freezer. Multiple requests to adjust the air conditioning to a more human range of comfort - or preferably open the big doors to bring in the fresh air - were met with a variety of responses ranging from "not really my job but I'll see what I can do" to an actual sharp retort that the staff prefer it that way because they are running around working. By the time those doors were opened and the meat locker became an actual outdoor space, we were paying our check. And there was quite a bit of time for that to have transpired, because: The food took quite a long time to arrive! It seemed like we were waiting an unreasonable amount of time for the appetizers to be served (note to wait staff: when taking appetizer orders from three guests, make sure to take the order from all three and not just two of the three before walking away).. which gave us plenty of time to read and re-read the menu (it's not that large!) to decide our main course dishes, which also took quite a long time to arrive. (It's not like the restaurant was full of patrons - this was late in the lunch hour on a Wednesday). I'm going to reiterate that we liked the food -- I just wish I could be raving about the whole experience. The food is the hard part and they got that right!! Yet somehow they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. read more

Great views, good service, and brunch. The crab soup was tasty. He liked his shrimp and grits. I ordered an omelet without ham. So they put bacon in it... I'm not sure why they made the decision to add an ingredient - especially one so similar to what I asked to leave out. Once they remade it without pork, it was good. The breakfast potatoes are heavily seasoned with paprika. read more

Charleston Harbor Fish House is house in an absolutely stunning space, with an upscale coastal flair and nautical decor. The views are absolutely to die for, with an incredible perspective of the harbor and sunset!! The Bridge Bar was unfortunately closed for a private event but we were seated next to the huge windows overlooking the USS Yorktown. Our server, Danielle, was incredible and super attentive. The manager checked in on us a few times and made the experience memorable. Portions were generous and the plates were all reasonably priced. I particularly enjoyed the Fried Green Tomatoes, Market Fish (Mahi Mahi), and the Espresso Martini! read more

This restaurant is in a lovely location and is very charming, but the food was just awful. I ordered the fish and chips with a side of Parmesan fries to try. I got a plate with two pieces of cod with Parmesan fries and regular fries on the side. When I brought the mistake to our waiter's attention and shared that the Parmesan fries were just awful, he said " I'm sorry"..... and walked away. EVERYTHING was so salty, that it was hard to eat. We stayed at the resort next door for four days and only went to the Fish House once. Never again! read more

I wish I could leave a review about the food but unfortunately we never made it to that step. As a party of four we were seated in the enclosed patio area, close to the entrance near the bar. The was a large party wrapping up the bill and two other tables with two to three guests each. The single waiter was hustling back and forth past us but never once acknowledged our presence. We felt invisible as though this was an intentional tactic to force us to leave. I kept an eye on my watch and told the wife at 15 minutes of waiting we'd depart. Sure enough, at 15 minutes and no acknowledgement from ANY EMPLOYEE we left the restaurant. Unfortunately, reading reviews, service seems to be an issue. Just like there are no bad dogs, only bad owners, there are real no bad employees, just bad managers. Had the waiter at least looked at us, or spoke to us, or even glanced in our direction I may have been inclined to wait longer. I understand the service industry, and unfortunately it pains me to write this as this place could be amazing with the proper leadership. read more

We were there for lunch and got right in I had the Fish and chips and husband had the Fried Grouper BLT. Mine was suppose to come with garden slaw which I never received and the fries were cold and soggy My husbands chips were poor too Unfortunately the waitress was no where to be found until the it was time for the check read more

My favorite. Great food and atmosphere. The view of the Harbor and the ships is stunning.

Went for the views stayed for the food! The patio seating was enclosed, but the tables still faced the sunset. We viewed the sunset from the roof top bar and returned downstairs for dinner. The grilled salmon was very flavorful over grains, but the menu was very limited in fish options with salmon or the days catch. The service was prompt and attentive and the waiters were knowledgeable of the surrounding area as well. read more

This experience was unfortunately a let down. My salad was inedible. The lettuce was not fresh and also lacked any flavor. The tuna tostada appetizer had the sticker from the avocado tucked into it. And the Brussels sprouts were so fried that they had no taste other than the grease they were cooked in. My husband ordered a white fish (I forget the kind) on top of a mushroom risotto, which was really wonderful. This was a very good dish. The Manager was very nice and took the salad off of our bill (I did not ask for that!), and apologized for the slow service. It was prom night and it seemed like perhaps they were short staffed. I think this place is doing its very best to provide good service and a nice experience, but after going once, we will likely not return. read more

We went for lunch. The service was terrible and the bartender was waiting tables on a busy Saturday afternoon. You have to chase someone down to pay your bill when you are ready to leave.

Sitting along the window right before sunset was a bit hot and bright, but once the sun went down behind the clouds, we enjoyed an amazing sunset over dinner and drinks. We shared the smoked fish dip and the seafood fettuccini plate and it was quite good with plenty of fish and pasta to fill you up. Portion sizes were sufficient for the two of us (we have smaller appetites) Our server was quite attentive and she seemed to understand it was a date, so she checked on us at the perfect time the whole time. The best thing about the place is after dinner you can go up to the rooftop bar and enjoy the couches and continue to enjoy the evening view of the sunset and the ships in the harbor. Beautiful! Will go back. read more

Atmosphere was nice relaxing but something happened that left me stunned. We watched as the bar tender picked up a set of silverware from a table where customers had just left so it had not been cleared yet so he just removed a unused set of silverware then preceded to go to another table where people had just left and the table had not been cleared, picked up a saucer and handed it to my husband In addition, he was laughing and making funny of another employee with the customers at the bar, like the other employee was not real smart. Food was okay. read more

Over the weekend I got a chance to attend the launch party at the Charleston Harbor Fish House for the new beer collab that was created for Charleston Harbor Resort by Rusty Bull brewing Co. the weather was perfect I love the upstairs bar the new beer is a lager and it was really good easily you can have 2 cups love the taste. When you go make sure you order the chicken tenders they are so big and the fries delicious and you will need extra honey mustard it's ridiculously good! The service was great and we had such a great Saturday night out! Follow me on insta: @sipbiteandtasteit read more

Had the fish and chips. It was pretty good. The fish was cooked well and the slaw was very good. No lemon (?) Saw our server three times in total. Once to order, once to bring our food, & once to give me the check. No water refills, no "how's the food?", and definitely no "can I get you anything?". She just disappeared. The view was great. Had a table looking out on the water and the Yorktown. Be aware that the dining room is LOUD. It was Hard to carry a conversation in a normal voice. If you're going there after a long day on the water and need a beer and appetizers, this could be your place. If you are there for a nice dinner, and you want to converse, you may find it lacking. Pros: Decent food Great view Validated parking at patriots point Cons: Loud Our service was...insufficient read more

Went for dinner with a group of six after a day of sailing. Service was a little on the slow side even though we were seated immediately. The menu was not extensive but they had enough options that everyone in our party could find something they wanted to eat. We started with 2 orders of the calamari and 1 cornbread with honey butter for everyone to share. Both were good and I liked the marinara that came with the calamari. I ordered the flounder special which was pan seared and served over a vegetable medley & creamy sauce. The flounder was a bit dry but the cream sauce helped. The flavor was good. Hubs got fried shrimp which was served with french fries & slaw. The shrimp looked good & portion size was good. I was not a fan of the fries as they were the skinny shoestring style. We paid around $200 for 4 of the entees, drinks & the 3 appetizers so price point was not bad. Overall, I would give dinner service 3 stars & food 4 stars. As a side note, we started out having cocktails upstairs at the rooftop bar & service was excellent up there - 5 stars for that! read more

I was invited by friends to this restaurant. Staff was very inviting and welcoming. We started off with mimosas. I had a cranberry mimosa that was amazing. I highly recommend. Then we had the triple plate which had baked pita chips, carrots, celery, with hummus and pimento cheese. We also had the Southern sausage and biscuits and the calamari, which was delicious. From the restaurant we were able to see the USS Yorktown and the Arthur Ravenel bridge. The restaurant was light and roomy. The lighting was even amazing for such a rainy day I highly recommend. read more
