    Loved our Christmas Eve dinner this year. The food and drinks are always great and our server, Alexis was amazing! Order a drink from Alexa at the bar and you won’t regret it. And Steph always does a fanatic job making sure everyone is taken care of. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend!!

    Outstanding dining experience at The Establishment- Ambiance; Service and Food were all incredible!! This is a beautiful restaurant with several differs dining areas! The from desk staff were warm and welcoming.! Once we were seated our server, Annie, came over to introduce herself! She was fun, energetic and absolutely adorable and charming while also very efficient!! Please ask for her-you won't be disappointed! The Sommelier came to help us decide upon a bottle of wine. He was very pleasant and professional and passionate about the restaurant (with good reason)! we selected our wine stand enjoyed the pleasant vocal entertainment in our dining room! Annie returned and we again had fun and interesting conversation before.ordering our dinners. We shared the "Gnudu" for our appetizer-OMG it was ethereal-sosoeft, light and pillowy-absolutely to die for!! I ordered the Tilefish with Pretzel Spaetzle which was delicious. The Hubs ordered the whole fried fish! He loved it!! While this is a pricey restaurant, it is well deserved for a social night out! This was our second visit and definitely won't be our last! It's a definite for our next trip to Charleston, we just hope that Annie will still be there because someone is going to snatch that girl up-she is special indeed! Go to The Establishment--you will be so glad that you did!

    Fun local place, lots of very good veg options. Warm service. I had the cauliflower with peanut and green curry sauce and the little gem salad. Cauliflower could have been a little more al dente, but flavor of that was good. Loved the tahini and pistachios with the salad. All food was fresh, seasonal and well presented without feeling fussy. The staff all seemed like they enjoyed working there with each other.
