Amen Street Fish & Raw Bar opened in 2009, reviving the former Amen name of Cumberland Street and restoring this historic corner. The new renovation stays true to the beauty of the original 1800's architecture while creating a comfortable atmosphere for contemporary life.

Located at 205 East Bay Street in the heart of the historic district this Charleston seafood restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor dining all within walking distance of the local Market and the Charleston Harbor.

The menu includes a variety of seafood dishes such as oysters, clams and shrimp in addition to an ever growing raw bar menu. Amen Street supports Charleston's local fishing industry with market fresh fish.

We are open for lunch and dinner. Walk-ins are welcome and reservations are accepted as well.

Fried shrimp and oysters were heavy on the batter and she crab soup lacked small pieces of crab and was more like a cream of crab soup. Mussels were excellent. They were a generous portion served with diced tomatoes and toasted bread.

The blackened mahi mahi was fabulous, one of my favorite meals offered in downtown Charleston. Our server, Michael, was exceptionally good. A great evening at Amen Street Fish + Raw Bar!

There are so many good restaurants in Charleston and this one was a gem. Great service, food and ambience - loved the music and decor as well. I chose all the seafood dishes with the She Crab soup and Shrimp and Grits being fabulous dishes. Will certainly be back again.

Overall, a great experience. We read reviews online before going, and the reviews were excellent. We enjoyed the oysters and the salmon. The entire menu looked great. The service was pleasant and very friendly. It was our anniversary, and they wished us well and added a free dessert. This is the place to eat in Charleston.

We visited for this restaurant for the first time and have to say that we will visit each time in Charleston. My wife is celiac and the waiter was very knowledgeable and restaurant had many options. She had the New Bedford Sea Scallops, which were delicious. I tried the Lowcountry Bouillabaisse and it was very good. Highly recommend this as a go to restaurant in Charleston.

The food was amazing! We had the Rockefeller oysters, salmon, and scallops. Highly recommend! We did have to wait about 20 mins on top of our reservation but it was worth the wait. The staff was friendly.

Wonderful service, excellent food. Seated promptly when we arrived, and wait staff was very attentive. Drink orders taken right away, then appetizers, followed by main course. Everything was efficient. Would recommend to anyone visiting Charleston looking for a great meal that isn’t super expensive.
