Best restaurants near me in Downtown Charleston, SC

Our experience at Virginia’s on King was 5-Star. Since it was Thanksgiving day and really nothing open, we ate both breakfast and a late lunch at VOK. We were very impressed with both services and the food quality. The menu was very broad which allowed us to try something different at each seating. The service was even better than the food quality. Tim was honestly one of the most attentive and friendly waiters I have ever experienced. If you are traveling to Charleston make sure to hit VOK and request Tim.

We just came back from two weeks in Provence and wanted to relive a culinary experience. And we did. Food was delicious and quite authentic. Our server Tammy was lovely. I enjoyed the salmon whilst my wife had the short ribs. Both were tasty and much satisfying. Of course one must start with a French 75 cocktail. Truly an exquisite evening.

Good food and vibes. Excellent service - can recommended and lived up to expectations.

Oku=slay Food is amazing, second time visiting from Asheville and both times they make me wonder why we don’t have a Japanese restaurant like this back at home. Our server was perfect, she didn’t feel the need to smother us by coming up every 5 minutes and asking us how everything was which was a plus. She was able to give us some really good recommendations on vegetarian options (which more than most have to offer) it was a really welcoming experience. The food was really well done. plating was beautiful, food times were fast, and the deserts we tried were amazing. Little improvement is that if they played as much edm, they could have been playing more charli xcx. Iykyk

First time here. Loved everything, the drinks, the service, the food. Was surprised with how great it was since it’s at the end of an alley. Definitely recommend this place.
