My husband and I had such an AMAZING experience here! First of all, the service was absolutely…read morephenomenal!!! Truly above and beyond anything we could have expected. We were traveling for the first time with our almost 4-month-old baby, so we weren't able to make it to dinner until around 8:30 on a Sunday night. We were lucky enough to get in, and I am SO glad we did! We sat outside, and almost immediately, Tempest came over to ask if we would like the music turned down a little for our baby. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and we appreciated it more than she probably realized! Our little guy was able to relax and stay calm throughout dinner, which made the entire experience that much more enjoyable. Our server, Mandy, was FANTASTIC!!! Every single recommendation she made was absolutely incredible. We pretty much ordered everything she suggested, and she did not steer us wrong once! All of her favorites were a huge hit, and the food was phenomenal from start to finish. We had actually dined at a Michelin-starred restaurant the night before, and I can confidently say this experience was HANDS DOWN ten times better! Between the incredible food, beautiful atmosphere, and truly exceptional service, this was easily one of the highlights of our trip. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!!! If you're visiting the area, do yourself a favor and make a reservation. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in town! Thank you, Tempest and Mandy, for making our evening so special!

We randomly found Pink Bellies on Google Maps and could not have been more delighted with our…read morechoice. Our server was absolutely charming. He was running lunch on his own and somehow managed to be incredibly attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu without ever making us feel rushed. And the food was every bit as good as the service. We ordered two of the house specialties -- the OG Garlic Noodles and General Gerry's Chicken -- and shared both. The two of us finished everything. We were completely full and still couldn't stop eating because it was just that delicious. Sometimes the places you stumble upon end up being the best finds. Pink Bellies was definitely one of those. We'd go back in a heartbeat.

Enough for 3 people to have a sizable piece. If you're looking for an indulgent, knock your socks off pasta, GET THE TRUFFLE SPAGHETTI! It is completely worth the price and enough for 2 people to split to feel better about the spend. The lumache Nero had a solid kick to it and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. For dessert, we chose the olive oil cake and tiramisu. I'd definitely order the cake again especially to taste that lemon curd again! The interior is dimly lit, great for a date night or special occasion. There's an open kitchen so you can watch the food being cooked along with a large bar. Service was fantastic and welcoming from start to finish.

After a full weekend of eating our way through Charleston, Frannie & The Fox ended up being our…read morefavorite meal...and it almost didn't happen! My husband found this spot last minute since it was just a short walk from our hotel. We arrived pretty close to the kitchen closing, and while they mentioned we could still order at the bar, our server, Miseal, graciously offered to seat us at a table and take care of us anyway. That level of hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. We kept it simple and shared the Octopus Salad and the Taleggio Pizza, and wow...every single bite was packed with flavor. The pizza, cooked in the wood-fired brick oven, had the perfect crispy yet chewy crust with rich, melty cheese. The octopus was tender, fresh, and beautifully balanced. It was honestly the best meal we had all weekend. I paired everything with a refreshing brut rose while my husband enjoyed a beer, and it couldn't have been a better way to end our Charleston trip. The atmosphere is stylish and lounge-like with a romantic feel...perfect for a date night or a relaxed evening after exploring the city. A huge thank you to Miseal for making us feel so welcome, even at the end of the night. Great food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable experience. This will absolutely be one of our first stops the next time we're in Charleston.

Carmella's is cute and sleek. It's a nice place to go if you're in a hurry…read more I got a tiramisu cup and key lime pie to go. The tiramisu was delicious, although a bit mild in flavor in terms of espresso. I loved the texture of it. It was soft and not too wet, with an abundance of lady fingers. They did not skimp at all when it came cream. I do wish the flavor was stronger. The key lime pie had a delicious filling and the meringue was perfect. I do prefer a graham cracker crust and think that it was missing. The tart shell was good, but not defining of a key lime pie, in my opinion. I will definitely return! Thanks Carmella's!
