    We had a very good experience at Anson. They were extremely accomodating and the food was, for the most part, excellent, the only miss was the halibut which was on the dry side. We would definitely recommend Anson and we will return.

    This is a superior restaurant in every category. Bar tender made a custom Irish Toddy for my wife which was exactly to her taste. The Royal Red shrimp appetizer is fantastic!

    Love the small space in the heart of Old Charleston. This was our 3rd visit in the last 15 years. The food, service, and ambiance has never disappointed! Their signature crispy fried flounder was delicious, crispy yet meaty and moist. She crab soup and beet salad, perfect. Brussel Sprouts and Trout dip, tasty starters and plenty to share with 4 people.

    Great atmosphere, food and service. As a local who goes out to dinner at least 3 times a week, Anson is a favorite. Always consistent. Highly recommend.

    From the moment we entered the door, we were welcomed so warmly and lead to the best table in the house. Service was incredible and Grace stopped by a few times to check in on us too. The Brussels were absolutely incredible as well the scallops, Crab Louie and grits. Can’t wait to go back again soon. It was the perfect place to take our friend who was visiting from Boston. Thanks, Anson
