Review:A truly memorable dining experience I had the delightful experience of dining at Anson's restaurant last week. It was a memorable experience --food, service and ambiance were exceptional. I highly recommend the She Crab soup and Anson's signature whole flounder. Review:Anson knows how to treat you I had the pleasure of dining at Anson in April 2002. Although I was alone, I was treated like a celebrity, being seated at a lovely window table upstairs. The service and food were fantastic, from the champagne and oysters to the grouper in a nut crust with beurre blanc. I can't wait to visit again someday!

Review:California Dreamin' is my favorite restaurant! The appetizers are out of this world! I love the salads and warm crossaints. Keep up the good work!! Review:Many Restaurants fluctuate in terms of quality and service, but California Dreaming has been a consistently nice experience (except for a sometimes long wait, but STILL worth the effort) over the last several years. We stay in Charleston for 7-10 days each month (we operate a concrete pressure cleaning and topcoating business) and there are many nice restaurants, but so many times we go elsewhere to eat dinner and as we leave, we are wishing we had gone to California Dreaming instead. The quality of the food served, the service, the VIEW, the prices are all excellent. The wait, and the noise (partly due to the bare metal in the ceilings), are something you have to deal with to get the rest. We usually dine there several times each time we stay in Charleston.

I like the bar and the feeling of the restaurant - it has a "celebratory" feel to it, which I like. Not too noisy, but not so quiet that you can hear everyone's conversation.

Wild Wing Cafe 36 N Market Street - 843.722.9464 $5.01 - $15 Offers hot shots, Buffalo Breath chili, onion rings, about 50 different flavors of wings. Cuisine: American Recommended Dishes:Buffalo Shrimp Appetizer and (of course) Chicken Wings, Ranch and the Jamaican Jerk. Baked Potato Soup Wing Sampler Platter; Chicken Sandwiches; Review:Fun Atmosphere in Club District With two successful locations serving the lowcountry, the franchise has proven that Wild Wing Cafe is the authority on wings. Wings aren't the only menu items this restaurant and bar offer. With tender ribs served with a variety of flavors that Baskin Robbins could hardly compete with, the staff at Wild Wing Cafe shows that versatility and the ability to serve all customers that enter these doors is what makes this restaurant a must see in Charleston. Review:Disappointing Results As a vegetarian, the idea of going to a bar known for its buffalo wings seemed kind of absurd. But the menu outside indicated they had what looked like a good house salad, so we went in. I ordered that salad with peanut sesame dressing, and a bowl of baked potato soup (both without the bacon). The soup was great, with large pieces of baked potato, but I was terribly disappointed in the salad. For $4.99 it should have been much larger, and the sight of wilted lettuce was upsetting. It did have a fair amount of mixed vegetables - that is, it wasn't ALL wilted lettuce - but overall it wasn't much of a meal Review:Excellent Wings Upon our arrival in Charleston, my wife and I were looking for a lunch spot to satisfy a couple of hungry appetites and we happened upon the Wild Wing Cafe. What a nice find this turned out to be, as we enjoyed a nice, casual dining experience in which wings ruled supreme, despite the fact that the restaurant offers a wide variety of food items. We were very pleased with the high level of service our very competent and nice server provided and the wings and chicken sandwich platter certainly did not disappoint--they were very good and tasty. Be mindful of the fact that the mere name of this restaurant strongly suggests this is not the kind of establishment that caters to vegetarians--individuals of such persuasion would certainly be much better served dining elsewhere. But if one is looking for good wings prepared in many different styles, excellent service, very reasonable prices and a nice, yet very casual, overall atmosphere, the Wild Wing Cafe shouldn't disappoint.
Magnolias Uptown and Down South 185 East Bay St - 843.577.7771 $30.01 - $50 Chef Barickman and his staff strive not only for originality and diversity, but constantly focus on the quality of prime ingredients, freshness, and use of local products. Every dish is the inspiration of Chef Barickman and his Associate Chefs. Cuisine: Continental / European Recommended Dishes:grouper Review:Just great! It was an enjoyable evening. Review:overrated A local tour guide recommended Magnolia's for Southern cooking, and especially to try the Shrimp and Grits. I thought it was ok, nothing to write home about. The sauce was too rich and tangy, I think it was made with bacon fat. I had the Pulled Pork with collard greens and mash potatoes. Man, heart-attack city. The pork was too sweet, the collard greens were too salty and potatoes were too buttery. I was very disappointed since I was looking forward to good, ole Southern cooking. I've tasted better in NYC.
