Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Beaufort

Charlie's has been consistently good since we started going there some years ago. We went there for our anniversary dinner last night and had a lovely evening. The staff and management were very helpful and the only reason I am not going with 5 stars all the way, is because the desert menu was like all desert menus these days: nothing hot except bread and butter pudding, maybe the creme brûlée. It's so hard these days to find a restaurant that actually makes deserts like Grand Marnier Soufflé's with a creme Anglaise, or crepes suzette or anything that involves any preparation at all and is not served with whipped cream out of a can. Besides that, my wife had very nice Swordfish and I had the breast of duck and we enjoyed them with an unusual Chenin Blanc called Love from the Loire coastal region. The orange mousse in a chocolate cup was as expected and we could have given it a miss.

Our party of three were seated in the dining area in the front, next to the bar. I think this must be ‘overflow’? It was lively, which was to expected, but there was a loud table of four birthday revelers next to us (not in the bar) who were very loud. So this is why the noise level rating is higher than normal. We ordered small salads as starters, then enjoyed shrimp and grits, filet with truffle frites and my daughter had sashimi and the mahi roll. Everyone’s meal was delicious! Our server was great too, choosing a smooth cabernet as I requested to go with the filet. It was a excellent meal out with family. Thanks.

Another WONDERFUL dinner and celebration of my birthday. Gaston was an excellent server, very personable, efficient, attentive and knowledgeable. We were given a complimentary Prosecco and a taste of three recommended wines for our meal choices. I chose the Chianti. Dinner was terrific, my veal chop was perfect. My favorite desert at Ombra is there Affogato. Great night.

Our table of 8 ordered these delicious items: Southern Salad, Braised Bacon & Melon, Fried Chicken, Maryland Crab Cake, Handmade Braided Ravioli w/ Italian Sausage, Crished Yukon Potatoes, Chocolate/Vanilla Gelato

Service and food was exceptional. We came for lunch and the service we received and the food we ate were both absolutely incredible. This was our best meal of our weekend trip and we are incredibly thankful to the staff.
