Awful experience!!! Overpriced and upset with tonight's meal. Salad was wrong...... I ordered the field greens and got the arugula. I didn't complain cause the place was packed and our poor server was overwhelmed. It took over one hour and 20 minutes to get our meal. And it was just ok. Our server kept apologizing...... the place was loud cause there was a huge party in the center of the room. If you can't accommodate your customers please don't overbook. I will never go back that place is a joke!!!!! And the price was astronomical. Never again! read more

Update from my initial Feb 2014 review: This was our 2nd time dining at this restaurant. OpenTable reservations were made and we were accommodated for an early dinner in a quiet booth. Dinner for two was the Hawaiian Tuna special and it was absolutely amazing (done at medium-rare heat). Also had the side of Pearl Barley with spinach. and two salads, the arugula and the apple salad. Have to give Frank (our server) 5-stars as well. The most outstanding part of dinner was the $18/for half-dozen oysters that were roasted in the 1/2-shell. Totally amazing but for only 6, they were a bit over the top on pricing. You could have had a dozen for $32. Our dinner for 2 without drinks was $91. Will try OPAL next (it is their sister restaurant) SaleebScore: Service: 9/10; Food 9.5/10; Atmosphere 8/10; Location: 7/10 (close to ION but in a shopping strip) Parking 10/10. ----------------------- 2/14/14: You can certainly see the Wine Spectator Award shine through here. While not a big place, it is intimate and there are several tables to be selected for an intimate dining experience. We had waiter "Frank" who did a fine job navigating us through the menu and paring up a nice white wine (Camel Road Chard) w/ my Orange-Soy Grilled Salmon with Crisp Cucumber Salad and Aromatic Rice. My spouse had the Seared Diver Scallops with Sweet Corn Cream and Basil Oil for her entree, but it turns out too small even for a light appetite. She felt the presentation out-balanced the quantity and flavor for the price ($12). We feel a small plate or first course should be enough food for an entree-seeker w/ a small appetite (when paired with a salad, it should satisfy) if that criteria cannot be met... then drop the price under $10 to take the guesswork out of it. We both had salads, the Baby Arugula with Goat Cheese, Caramelized Bosc Pears won out. Overall not to bad w/ one 8oz ($13) glass of wine came to $90. Service was very good and Frank had two assistant servers, SaleebScore: Food: 9/10, Service:9.5/10, Ambiance: 9/10. read more

Food was great definitely recommend the oysters Rockefeller. Wine and beer list was also really nice and the waiter was really knowledgeable.the Waiter was nice but but no personality for working in a 4.5 star restaurant. Would go back but would like a different waiter read more

Came here for lunch with the sis. Pretty tasty eats for a little restaurant tucked into the Bilo parking lot. I ordered the lunch special which was a gnocchi Bolognese and my sister ordered the shrimp and grits. Both came out hit with good portion sizes. The service was great although I would say this isn't a great place for a quick business lunch as it is a tad slow. Would definitely return. read more

Had a bad experience here several years ago and stopped going. When some friends invited us to Langdons we decided to give it another go. In a word...perfect I had a pasta bolognese that was a small portion on first glance. It was so good and so rich that it was more than enough even after passing around bites to the table. My wife had the rack of lamb and it was extraordinary. Perfectly cooked with a great crust on the outside, tender and red inside. No easy feat. Will be going back to Langdons often to make up for lost time. read more

Langdon's serves bland food. I snacked on a couple of their appetizers on a Saturday evening. My partner and I were able to sneak in without a reservation. We were definitely under-dressed, our jeans and sandals didn't mesh well with the ties and dresses. Oh well. We ordered three dishes: a very bland lobster spring roll, too-chewy scallops, and some decent Blue Point oysters. The Blue Points we liked enough to order another six. But, you don't really score major points when your best dish requires zero preparation. Our server was the highlight of our visit. She was social, fast, and attentive. I don't think I'll be going back here. Maybe to try an entree. read more

My wife brought me here to celebrate my birthday. Unbelievable food. The Duck meatballs were fantastic. I had the Lamb and my wife had the veal, wow. Victoria our waitress was unbelievably great, polite and efficient. Definitely would return and ask for Victoria. read more

Everything about Langdon's was exceptional. Our server, Nick was extremely knowledgeable especially about the beer and wine. He was helpful in recommending a menu selection as well since there were so many choices. There's really something for everyone here. A great wine selection (bottles a little marked up) and veggie, fish, and meat options to include small and large plates. I had two small plates: the chèvre gnocchi and the shiitake foie gras. The gnocchi was freshly made with fresh basil, tomatoes, and goat cheese. The foie gras was seared over a tempura shiitake with an amazing miso? glacé. Such a great dinner and Nick picked a great glass of wine. Go to Langdon's! read more

Langdon's was a special treat we learned through word of mouth from a work associate. We were seated promptly on a Friday night, and given time to have a beverage, and look over the menu without feeling rushed. Their decor is elegant, and intimate. Service was excellent, professional, including good counsel on the food choices, and options for 1 in our party with lactose intolerance. We all LOVED our choices of fresh seafood: grouper, tuna, and salmon which was excellent! You can't undervalue the service- which was attentive without being pushy, no sense of feeling rushed, but being there when needed. read more

There is not a single item that disappointed during our dinner here. All the way from our hostess through our waiter (Frank) and the support staff the experience was incredible. We made a reservation and were promptly seated although we were 20 minutes early (reservations recommended because although it was Monday this place was packed by 630pm). We definitely splurged with this dinner and between the two of us we had the local scallop appetizer (special of the night), pear and arugula salad, Pork Chop with Smoked Tomato-Brie Grits, "Maple Leaf Farms" Duck Breast, creme brûlée, and an Irish coffee. I tried to persuade my wife to not get the pork chop but wow it was absolutely delicious (she went with it after our waiter recommended it). It is impossible to describe all of the flavors in words you just have to try this place. The wine menu was extensive but not so much for the cocktail menu. We did not bring our little ones but there were two tables with older children ( older than 7ish). I would not recommend bringing small children here as it was very quiet and dark. Overall a solid 5 star experience. Definitely as good as it gets. read more

So second & third times were a charm. Everything was out of this world. They've updated the decor from the drab maroon red that haunted my memory of the place last time. It's not going to be your hipster dream or anything and it's in a shopping center, but trust me, the food transports you to wherever you'd rather be. I'd recommend going and sharing 6-7 items with a friend or spouse and enjoy all of the passion that goes into the different dishes they're offering. Perfect cook on the steaks, decadent sides, well balanced flavors and dishes constructed with care. Fresh fresh fresh. One of my top 10 favorites in Charleston! read more

Absolutely LOVE Langdon's. Came here with my mom one night for a nicer dinner and was not disappointed. I decided to try it because of all the great reviews and it is close to home. The outside look of the restaurant threw me off, but inside it was beautiful and small and cozy. We started off with the oysters, delicious but very pricey, ($30 for a dozen). Then I got the baby arugula with goat cheese and pear salad, again absolutely delicious. For my main course I got the duck. I have never ordered duck before in my life, but for some reason it sounded perfect. Let me tell you, it was! the cherry sauce almost had a sweet barbecue flavor to it that was amazing and the succotash was out of this world. For dessert, we split the creme brulee, which I had heard was great and it was better than that! We both inhaled it and were perfectly satisfied. I would recommend this place to anyone, but it is pricey. To me it was worth it because the quality of the food was so good. I will definitely come back here! And the service was great and friendly! read more

Have been here a few times. This is a small intimate place.. The wait staff has always been pleasant and attentive. The food is EXCELLENT. My wife and I had a great romantic dinner and dessert. read more

This spot was recommended to us by a local and it could not have been better. We very much enjoyed our meal here. We started with the shrimp and pork spring rolls--they were delicious! I could eat a meal of just those. I had an orange-soy glazed salmon that came with rice and cucumber and it was flavorful and perfectly cooked. He had pan-seared grouper with leek risotto and lump crab meat and was blown away (he's a chef!). We ended with Madagascar Vanilla Bean Creme Brule which was excellent as well. Very glad we found this spot and enjoyed my birthday dinner here! read more

This place is a great place to order food from the bar. Great wine list and drink menu. Haven't been to the dining room yet. Will be back. Food was awesome. Outstanding wait service. read more

Best seafood and nicest restaurant in Mt. Pleasant. Highly recommend the Hawaiian Tuna dinner entree - never disappointed. Great for elegant birthdays, anniversaries, date nights, and special occasions. Personally, I always enjoy the creme brûlée desert. Excellent food, and great wine with 5 oz, 8 oz or bottle options. Have eaten for dinner 10+ times, have not tried lunch, though I do not doubt their ability to execute a splendid meal. The service is always excellent - friendly, polite, patient, and knowledgeable. They do not hover, they work great as teams, and they are not too talkative. You are always attended to by someone. While this is not the quickest dining experience, you'd be robbing yourself if you didn't have the time to relax and enjoy it. While there is not a dress code, you will feel underdressed if you are in a t-shirt. Decent pants and button ups are recommended. When you dine here, it is a high-end experience, so dress accordingly. This is the type of restaurant that brings you a black napkin when you're wearing black. Very detail oriented. read more

We have a lunch here in a weekday. It looks something wrong because all tabes were waiting for their food a long long time. When our food was coming, the bread for a burger and fries were over cooked. The lunch on fly manual was getting smaller and smaller. It is more like some fingers food in stead of a lunch. read more

Good restaurant! Langdon's in Mount Pleasant is a nice intimate restaurant. It is on the smaller size which can attribute to a louder restaurant experience than one may expect, however even though it is on the louder size, it doesn't feel like you are being crowded. It has a very nice color scheme as well. Food is good and flavorful. Their mashed potatoes were quite possibly the best mashed potatoes I have ever had in my entire life. Seriously, as well. Being a wine bar, they have an above average wine selection for a restaurant. The servers are great at recommending a good bottle to go with your dinner. It is on the more expensive side, but the quality you are getting and the type of restaurant it is make the expense worth it. Definitely visit them! read more

It's easy to see why this is one of Charleston's highest rated restaurants. From the service to the food, everything is fabulous. We started with the oysters Rockefeller which were divine! A few of us ordered salads, which again was wonderful. We nearly licked our plates from dinner because it was so delicious. My husband likes his steak Pittsburgh style and his came out perfect. This is definitely a must go place when you're East of the Cooper. read more

Always more than satisfactory. We adore the black skillet steak and the center cut filet. My husband usually opts for the bone in dry aged ribeye, it's his favorite - and with good reason! The steaks are always cooked immaculately and taste is divine. The salad with goat cheese and shallot vinaigrette is perfection. The tuna is my go-to when I feel like a lighter option. The Asian slaw just takes it to a whole different level. Love this tucked away little slice of heaven. read more

This place was really good and made my wife's birthday special. She had the steak, I had the shrimp & prosciutto. Son had the salmon. All were very good and the service was perfect. Granted, it was a slow wednesday but everything was done right. I found the bill wasn't too surprising either. We would go back here. Thanks! read more

First off, we are local and every restaurant this group owns is a winner. Strangely we have never eaten here until tonight. It was our last night before my wife is induced the next day with our first baby. The greeter could not have been sweeter and insisted an outside picture vs inside where it was dark Our server was an amazing, cool 24 yr old that could recite the wine list in her sleep like a pro in one breath and then spark an unstiff talk track on beaching it and living the life. Tuna, cheese plate and oysters were amazing. The kicker was a surprise dessert on the house for our special day. Langdons quickly entered our top 5 MT. P restaurants and we were not shocked it did... Langdons will always be a part of our memories and if a restaurant can do that so seemingly effortless is a sign of fine dining in one of Americas restaurant capitals. Cheers read more

Great dinner. What a find of an interesting me u, excellent preparation without having to drive into the city. From the crusty warm bread through to the mains everything was excellent. It is a small restaurant so you will probably need advance reservations. It is a great quiet special occasion place for a really great meal read more

WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! Hands down, THE BEST MEAL we've had in as long as we can remember!!! In a city where great restaurants are everywhere, Langdon's is beyond exceptional. We enjoyed Opal.... a LOT. We WILL go back to Langdon's... over and over and over. Drinks: Hibiscus Royal, a flavorful, fresh tasting sparkling, Smoked margarita, unique and tasty take on a classic, Blueberry mojito, beautiful sight, delicious flavor, Old Fashioned with a great new fashioned twist. Appetizers: Chefs choice cheese, we are major cheese heads. It's difficult to surprise us with a new cheese. Red Dragon cheese, with it's mustard flavor, from the U.K. was such a delicious surprise. The Roquefort was good and strong. The goat cheese was creamy inside with a delectable rind. Chef's inspiration oysters. Chef was very very inspired!! Lots of flavor with a bit of a kick. Seared foie gras... amazing. Truly. Crudo, salmon with exceptionally flavorful sauces swirled around. Dinner: Steak special was a 9oz filet with large pieces of crabmeat, delicious bernaise, garlicky, perfectly cooked green beans, creamy mashed potatoes. No teeth needed for this steak. It melts in your mouth. Rack of lamb does not get any better than this. New York strip with bourbon-foie butter... I generally don't order NY strip, but this cut with the sauce was superb. ALL our meals were fantastic, but a clear winner was the Bone-in Berkshire pork chop, tomato-Brie grits, horseradish-apple slaw. I will NEVER again make pork at home. We have never, ever had a pork chop cooked to such perfection. In addition, I couldn't stomach grits before (I know, I know) until I had them finally done right. I could eat these grits for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each meal we had was ART. Creme brûlée (my fav) was perfection. Dessert drinks: Expresso.....mmmmm. Chocolate..... mmmmmXL. As if the food itself wasn't enough, our server, Sarah is SOOOO cool, friendly, congenial, professional, efficient. The chef is opening a pizza place in a few weeks (Wood and Grain). After enjoying Opal and Langdon's so very much, I'll be camping outside with anticipation. read more

Go here. Go here now. This place is amazing. Shrimp, Pork Chop, Duck Breast & Grouper were the dishes ordered at my table and each dish was as amazing as the other. I made myself sick I ate so much, but I honestly couldn't stop. The atmosphere is great and the service was perfect but the FOOD.... the food was the kicker. read more

Reviewed yesterday via mobile Worst Service I've Ever Seen!! Was traveling with wife and called to let them know we would arrive just before 10:00. Sophie said no problem there would not be an issue. Called her back an hour later just to make sure it would be ok and that we wouldn't make the staff angry if we arrived just before 10:00. She said absolutely not to please come. So we hauled $&@ to get there as much before 10:00 as we could. We arrived as promised just before 10:00 and we were met by a very rude bartender Who said the grill closes at 9:45. I explained that I had talked to Sophie and she said it was fine. In a rude and disgusting way he said Sophie is gone and the kitchen is closed. I asked if I can speak to the manager. He said he was the bar and front of the house manager. I asked if there was a general manager and the executive chef came out. Got the exact same story.. no empathy that we had been driving for 2 hours to get there to be told to bad. On the way out they both said you should have come earlier.. will never eat there... never. Worst customer service I've ever seen. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Mount Pleasant. We went there for lunch yesterday, and as always had a fantastic experience. First off the service is, was, and is always excellent. It is just right and not hovering. The ambiance is just right and the noise level is perfect. It is easy to carry on a conversation without straining to hear. For staters I had the tomato bisque soup with a touch of jalapeño seasoning garnished with two grilled shrimp. It was perfect, and had a little kick to it. My main course was the grilled salmon with jasmine rice and cucumber salad. The cucumber salad is one of the best side dishes I have ever had. The salmon was grilled to a temperature just under medium and it was outstanding. The plate was completed with jasmine rice that was cooked just right. I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner. If you go for dinner, go early for happy hour. The wine list is excellent and the bartender is very friendly. He doesn't skimp on the pour. read more

Langdon's is our favorite restaurant. The oysters rock are to die for. They always have a great wine selection. The thought of the filet and seared grouper make my mouth water. Great staff too! Always have great service. read more

I liked it...I think they need another bartender on a busy Friday night. It's tucked away in a little strip mall but quite nice inside, I will definitely come back and try a meal - maybe having a server will up the attention you receive. read more

Just finished lunch! What a great restaurant! Food is unbelievable. A simple shrimp wrap was the tastiest wrap I've ever had! Service was perfect. read more

Great food. The location is in a shopping center but once inside it has a cool vibe.The staff seems very attentive to helping you.Great bartender and drinks. They brought bread and butter to the table and it looked like a portion for 1, so who cares I don't need the carbs. Four of us ordered fish which came to the table about 10 from the time we ordered it. My salmon was one of the best I had. The other dishes were small portions so if you are looking for a hearty meal this isn't your place. All fish dishes were exceptional. My biggest pet peeve with most places is they do not disclose what the special prices are. Langdon's also saves that part until the end. Langdon's rival any restaurant in downtown Charleston read more

Choose this restaurant because of reviews and ratings. Both turned out to be spot on. The food was superb and the service excellent. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Great Food and service. Good craft beer and wine list. Apps: Both extremely good...Local Goat Cheese Gnocchi with Prosciutto, Roasted Tomatoes, Spinach and Basil; Crispy Duck Breast with Sweet Potato and Chipotle Honey 2nd Course: Savory and bowl lickin!!!

I cannot say enough about this restaurant!! I have traveled the USA and this place has set the bar. I have yet to find another restaurant as good as this one. There food is AMAZING, the service is SUPERB and I seem to be comparing ever other restaurant to this place and everyone seems to be lacking. read more

Had lunch there today and got The Lunch on The Fly Special. The food was GREAT! But, the service and hospitalist have much to be desired. It took 40 min to get our food. I wasn't in a hurry; but, I was hungry. There's too many great lunch spots to deal with this read more

The food was good, and the wine list is great; however, we went there at 5:30 with a 13 month old child and my inlaws, and even though we were the only customers for the first fifteen minutes, they acted rude and aloof. I don't know if they just don't welcome kids, or if they got snooty when we didn't order wine with our dinner, but the whole experience was bad. Our server dropped off the check, but then spent 10-15 minutes chatting with the table next to us, and then forgot about it! We finally had to grab the manager to take the check. Definitely don't take your kids; no matter how well-behaved. They are not welcome! read more

Awful bartenders! They need to learn about customer service. Food is good in restaurant but both male bartenders at rude and need to be fired. I will go to Halls next time and have good service and food! read more

Concur with the other reviewers. The service was great, and there was an overall friendly vibe. I got the flounder with risotto, and my husband had the pork chops with bacon and leek mac and cheese. Flounder was a tad on the salty side, but still very tasty. I managed to steal bites of the chop and mac and cheese, and I appreciated the bold flavors. We'll definitely be back. read more

A stellar experience. Langdon's is tucked away in an unexpected location. But thankfully it is less than three minutes from our apartment complex. My boyfriend and I wanted to go out for a date night but didn't want to deal with the hassle of downtown. Thank goodness we found this gem. We enjoyed a 12oz filet cooked to a perfect medium with a double side of whipped potatoes. We started with a wedge salad and some fresh, home-made bread. We were the first reservation of the evening. The ambiance was elegant and calming and the service was flawless. Thanks again Langdon's, we will be back! read more

had a nice time with a friend tonight. We shared drinks and appetizers at a table in the bar area. The staff was friendly and the duck with mint egg rolls and seared scallops were delightful (though there were only two scallops served). There were ample choices on the wine list and the atmosphere was conducive for comfortable dialogue. (No TV in the bar!) read more
