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.

Outstanding dining experience. Our table for 6 was ready when we arrived. Service was excellent! Menu selection is extensive. Food was delicious and plentiful. Try the calamari and the seafood platter. Oysters were perfect!

Bring visitors here while in Charleston. - this visit a disappointment. Server forgot to bring my appetizer of clams. Served the meal and could not get his attention. When I did I was finished with my meal. When I told him about the clams said they were backed up. Which was not true. So I got my clams for desert. He saw I was agitated. And when he brought me the bill he did comp me for them. But also noticed portions are smaller and prices are up. Menu was new and items we came for are no longer on the menu. Food is still good. But maybe time to look else where

The fried oysters were extremely well done, with perfect seasoning and light crusty coating. Fried Shrimp also did not disappoint and the collard greens made for a perfect side dish! The ambiance is very nice and inviting.
