Best MahiMahi I've had to date. Complimentary Valet Parking. Definitely make reservations. Business casual. Very busy and loud at times. Bar, dining, and outside patio. Excellent food however, I would like a greater variety and larger menu choice. I guess you cannot have everything.

We enjoyed our meal - a second visit. The restaurant is popular. Entrees included the quail and sausage, and the red drum/etouffee entree, which they broiled with fresh herbs special for me. Each very nice. Cost for three entrees, desserts, coffee and a $32 wine came to about $150 plus tip. Unfortunately, although we arrived on time, our "assigned table"... More

We go there on a regular basis both for dinner and Sunday Brunch. Great beef filet and great brunch. Great for couples, families, and a friends' gathering.

This was a first time visit for us and it could not have been better. Family of 4 adults and I two- year old had a full Easter Sunday Brunch in a very busy but calm atmosphere. Lots of families, couples, friends gatherings filled the restaurant; the noise level, however, was not an issue. We arrived a few minutes early... More

This is a spot with a definite vibe and warm clubby feel but absolutely no attitude. Immediately on entering we were sincerely greeted, made to feel comfortable and quickly seated at a spacious table, the restaurant has a large bar and very active bar scene that does not impinge on the dineing room in any way. The menu goes from... More

We just moved to Mt P from NYC and are so impressed by the quality of food in CHS. Excited to hear great things about Red Drum right in our neck of the woods. We've now been to the restaurant three times, and all three times at least one of our dishes were served cold... Like ice cold. Both my... More

I try to make it to this restaurant when I am in Charleston. The food is great and I love the outdoor fire pit. Great wine selection. Reservations are a good idea for the weekends.

This place has nice atmosphere and attentive staff however, the last TWO times I have had the chicken enchiladas I have gotten a gristle/bone end of the drumstick in the middle of my meal! Disgusting and very awkward to deal with when dining with friends! Whoever is prepping the chicken for this dish needs serious training or glasses! At $18.00... More

Enjoyed our early dinner Saturday night, with our party of four and our one year old grandson. Shrimp tacos were very fresh and enjoyed, after a starter of tortilla soup which was good as well. My daughter in law ordered the chicken quesidillas for the baby, off the kids menu, and said they were the best she ever had. Nice... More
