    Recommended to come here by a friend. Totally worth the late dinner. Our server was extraordinary- totally took care of my weird food allergies and chef provided an excellent meal despite my restrictions. Lovely cocktails, decent wine list. We had an amazing time.

    It was not that busy but our food took about 40 minutes to get to us. My scallops were hot but were on a bed of cold risotto. The shrimp corn dogs sounded like an interesting dish but it was very unremarkable. In a foodie town like Charleston, my expectations are high so I’m afraid this one was a disappointment.

    Our order was very late coming to the table. Good food and nice atmosphere. We live locally so I would rate this as average for Charleston.

    My family and I enjoyed a wonderful meal at Amen! My son and I split 1/2 dozen oysters that were perfection. We ordered the hushpuppies and fried green tomatoes for the table, both were delicious. My husband had the fried chicken, which was excellent, my son ordered the noodles from the kid's menu and I had the fig and goat cheese salad. Our server was kind and attentive and the restaurant was cozy and festive for the season. The drinks were very good as well - mocktails and non-alcoholic IPA. We would absolutely go back!

    Enjoyed our dinner as usual. My husband had a pecan old-fashioned and it was delicious. I had the shrimp platter, which is always on point.

    I saw all the reviews for the shrimp and grits, and had came here just for that…. & they were absolutely delicious! It was sooo flavorful, had a nice spice, was very warm and comforting for a cold day! Really glad I tried it. The staff was friendly, it took a little time for someone to initially greet me but after my order was taken, everything was smooth sailing. Would recommend!
