    Had great service from start to finish. We got there and got placed on the waiting list. It was a very busy Saturday, but We did not have to wait long and they got to us right away. They got us a perfect view and an amazing table that overlooked the water in a private little Nook that wasn't too crowded. We didn't have to wait long to get seated. We ordered appetizers like the oysters, brusselsprouts, artichoke and crab dip, and seafood platter. All were so good! We got to see dolphins swim up to the side of where we were sitting and enjoyed a beautiful sunset! The interior deocor was really well done and looked fancy farmhouse like restoration hardware. Staff was so nice and we met other nice patrons that were having a great time here as well.

    My family had a 7:00 sunset cruise on a catamaran out of Shem creek so I did some research on restaurants in the area and this one seemed to get the best reviews. Not that the other spots weren't good. We were greeted and the place was pretty empty at 4:30. As an amateur to the area I requested outdoor dining and realized while we were the only few tables eating outside, it's quite hot in late June! I later went inside and saw the inside dining room was packed! Regardless our waiter was awesome and gave good suggestions. The food was good and if it was a bit cooler we probably would have enjoyed eating outside more. It's worth a visit for sure

    f you want a spot that reminds you why Shem Creek is worth the trip, Tavern & Table delivers. First off, the view. It is hard to beat. Dolphins are right there in front of you, cutting through the water and chasing the shrimp boats as they come in. You could sit there with a drink and be perfectly happy before the food even hits the table. We started strong with oysters, the ceviche, skillet cornbread, a pimento cheese board, and the smoked fish dip. Everything was good, but the smoked fish dip and pimento cheese were the clear standouts. Those are the kinds of dishes you keep going back to even when you are full. For mains, I had the fried whole sea bass special, and it was the best thing on the table. The herbs and honey pushed it over the top. My husband had the burger, someone else had the spatchcock chicken, and another ordered the shrimp and grits. All solid choices, but the ranking at our table was clear. The fish came out on top, followed by the chicken and then the shrimp and grits. The atmosphere feels exactly like what you want on Shem Creek. Lively but not chaotic, with that easy coastal energy. Service was top notch, attentive without hovering and they kept everything moving even with a full crowd. This is one of those places you go for the view and come back for the food.

    Visit with a group for Galentine's. Our server Sean W. was friendly and efficient. He was also patient with our large group. The lady who brought the food out seemed annoyed that we had switched seats with each other. I understand they take orders according to each seat number, but her attitude was unnecessary. Crab & artichoke dip was really good. I only wish there was more crab. The amount of pita bread provided is definitely proportionate to the amount of dip you receive. The pita bread tasted delicious, warm and lightly toasted. Dynamite shrimp was sweet and spicy, fried perfectly. I'd definitely get this again.

    Location, Location, Location! Shem Creek has always been one of my favorite spots for decades, when I'm in the Charleston area and this visit marked my third time dining at this restaurant.  We had reservations--which I highly recommend making through OpenTable--and managed to snag a parking spot right by the main entrance. Considering how tricky parking can be in this area, I knew we were off to a great start!  The meal certainly did not disappoint. We ordered the "Diver Scallops" and the "Grilled Swordfish," both of which were absolutely delicious. I opted for the 8 oz portion, and while the 4 oz might have sufficed, the larger serving truly hit the spot.  To complement the stunning creekside views, where boaters casually drifted by, we indulged in a cheesecake for dessert. It was the perfect finish to an already incredible dining experience.  I'm already looking forward to returning soon!

    We liked this place. Right on the water and we walked around first then came in to hide from the wind. Ordered just apps and drinks for an early Monday dinner. Was around $60 with tip. Enjoyed the burnt ends with mac & cheese, brussels sprouts, and the cornbread skillet. We could've skipped the cornbread skillet just for how full we were from the other two and it wasn't that exceptional. Had a lovely waitress, who let us charge a phone since we were out on a day trip with no car and no charger. Would recommend!

    We stopped by Tavern & Table for a Sunday lunch since it was such a beautiful, sunny day in Charleston. The location right by the water at Shem Creek is hard to beat! It was packed with people, so service was a little slow to start, but once we were seated on the outdoor patio, everything was great. It's the perfect spot to soak in the views and some sun.

    Pretzel
    Hannah S.

    The place was cute inside and out. They do a lot of business it seems they were packed. Our server was super sweet. The food was good but I think it was a little over hyped. The scallops were amazing and the shrimp was good but the grits lacked flavor. The pretzel was good as well but the Mac and cheese was just alright.

    Ceviche
    Sara R.

    Tavern & Table has become one of my go-to spots over the past 8 months or so. I especially love going once the tourists clear out--there's nothing better than soaking in a Shem Creek sunset among locals. In no particular order, here are some of the dishes my friends and I have tried: Italian Flatbread - Loaded with pepperoni, nduja (still not totally sure what that is, lol), house robusto, mozzarella, and creamy ricotta. One of my absolute favorites on the menu. It's huge, perfect for sharing, or you can stretch it into multiple meals. Pimento Cheese & Bacon Jam - Served with Ritz crackers. Simple, classic, and just really good. Sesame-Seared Tuna Bowl - This was on the summer menu, but it was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad - You can never go wrong here. A solid Caesar with a generous portion of chicken and it was quite filling. Fire Roasted Oysters - Baked with casino butter, bacon, peppers, garlic, and Parmesan. They definitely have a little spicy kick to them but it also kind of overwhelmed the taste of the oysters. Ceviche - Bright, fresh, and packed with seafood. A great starter. Crab & Artichoke Dip - Artichoke, fontina, and toasted pita. So delicious and perfect for sharing. The bartenders were nice and welcoming and even remembered our drinks the next time we came out.

    Very lovely scenery on offer here to enjoy while dining on some upscale classic southern eats! Vacationing in Charleston and picked this establishment for its location on Shem Creek. After walking the lovely boardwalk, we popped in shortly after 6pm and were able to get a table without a reservation on a Tuesday. We found the service friendly and enjoyed several dishes! I personally went for the shrimp and grits and loved it! Great variety of flavor with a touch of spice. But of course, all plates were delicious and I'd recommend. As the restaurant continued to get busier in the 7pm hour, I would note that the service diminished a bit. While he was friendly, I noticed that our server dropped the check without asking if we wanted dessert or anything else. We opted to head out for ice cream instead but a final check in would have been nice. Otherwise, no complaints. I do recommend reservations if you plan to dine at peak hour. The place was quite packed when we left just before 8:00pm.

    Martini's
    Melissa C.

    Tavern & Table was such a great experience! The interior decor was really well thought out -- even the ladies room was beautifully done. We sat inside late afternoon and loved the atmosphere. We started with the Pineapple Martini and the T&T Martini (olive oil washed vodka, vermouth & blue cheese stuffed olives). Both were completely different but equally delicious! For dinner, my sister had the Brisket Mac & Cheese and I ordered the Shrimp & Grits. Both dishes were absolutely awesome. Everything was so flavorful that no extra salt or pepper was needed. The shrimp & grits had the perfect spicy kick -- seriously delicious. We skipped dessert, but the highlight afterward was spotting a dolphin swimming through the channel. Such a perfect ending to a really enjoyable meal. Definitely recommend! Shout out to the ladies at Trader Joe's for the recommendation.

    Food was pretty good. Service was friendly but bar staff was a little slow on making drinks. Beautiful ambiance inside. Would definitely come back.

    Some things too pricey, we thought
    Cat F.

    Fantastic food but a few things I felt were overpriced. Example one drink $28 (Passion martini) One glass of pinot noir $14, dozen oysters $38, mushroom Flatbread app, $30. But the worst was the 3% credit card fee. If they want to be fine dining, they need more interesting desserts. Mushroom flatbread received rave reviews from all. Same for crab & artichoke dip and the brussel sprouts. The person who had oysters looked very happy. As did the dynamite shrimp patron, nice big shrimp. The whole yellowtail snapper received appreciative verbal sounds the entire time. Our friend raved over the yellowtail snapper. I could not eat the peel & eat shrimp. Way too much Old Bay, I do not like them dredged in it. Thr next day we washed it off and made shrimp and grits. Our waiter was fantastic. Attentive but not intrusive. Views of Shem Creek were great and now we're interested in the party barge.

    Ask the Community - Tavern & Table

    Are reservations required or do they take walk-ins as well?

    They take walk ins. But I'd get a reservation to be sure of a table before you spend 20 minutes finding a parking space.

    Is there a kid's menu?

    We didn't have kids. But there were several in there.

    Is there anything for the plain eater? Like fried shrimp and fries?

    Dynamite shrimp are fried. And yes, we have fries, burgers, grilled chicken - lots of options for all palates.

    Whole fried flounder?

    Don't know, but the menu should tell you.

    IS there a Kid's menu? Or kid friendly options?

    Yes, they have a kids menu for brunch and regular lunch/dinner service; typical chicken tenders, cheeseburger, mac and cheese, etc. It's listed on their website.

    Do they have plain fried shrimp or fish?

    They have peel and eat shrimp in multiple sizes, I believe it's unseasoned. The seafood tower is also just plain, fresh seafood. Not sure what exactly your definition of "plain" is, but they have one fish entree with lemon and capers that is pretty… 

    Is the outdoor patio area dog-friendly?

    Yes but there is not always a shady area

    How is the brunch? Do they have a brunch buffet?

    The brunch is awesome! They do not have a brunch buffet. Great cocktails and amazing unique dishes.

Starting dinner off right with some deliciously fresh raw oysters complete with a traditional "onion" mignonette, and then Chef Eric brought out a little special treat....the base was fresh lump crab meat topped with some chunked watermelon and the most light, fresh, delicious dressing & crunch. WOW. I could eat that all summer. Moving onto the main courses, a perfectly cooked NY strip & root veggies with a love boat of fresh sauces. Chimi, steak butter, and a horseradish crema. As if the steak needed any sauce, but with that trifecta?? I couldn't help myself. Incredible. The other entree, a risotto and shrimp. Incredibly flavorful, complete with crisp English peas. As I write this, I wish I had another plateful. The bartender is the Chef's little lady, & she was a GEM! I cannot remember her name, but she goes to estate sales, and thrifts the beautiful dishes and glassware that they use in the restaurant, which I thought was so neat! These two truly have put their heart and soul into this little place and you can tell. The menu is of a smaller variety, but variety for sure. Chef Eric changes the menu up daily/weekly, so you never know what you may get, and I think that is honestly one of the best parts about this place. You can tell they care, from the food to the atmosphere they have created. This one deserves all the 5 stars.
