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.

    Hostess was rude to us and another party. Even though we had a reservation, apparently we should not have showed up 10 minutes early. Other party left.had put anniversary on reservation which it asked for, but no one even acknowledged that. I won't be back.

    Food was good service was just ok. Server was unfriendly and when asked for a suggestion tried to up sell instead of making a recommendation. Rarely came to the table. We were seated by the door where they allowed people waiting to stand next to our table while we ate. I would make sure you ask for a table in the back.

    Went here for restaurant week and it was fantastic! She crab soup and Caesar salad both great, surf and turf great, key lime pie and chocolate tarte great. Excellent service and ambiance. Restaurant week deal was 3 courses for $45, hard to beat that.

    The oysters were best I’ve had in a while. Very sweet. Our server, Joshua, was attentive, friendly and prompt My flounder was excellent- perfectly seasoned and prepared so there was a crunchy edge. Highly recommend
