A lovely restaurant with a stunning view. I ordered some tacos, which were very tasty, with excellent toppings. It was a bit busy, so we had to wait a little, but overall the experience was very good. Highly recommended!

I looked into reviews and was very skeptical about eating here due to the ratings. I must say I was pleasantly surprised!
We knew out of the gate that we wanted a view, water front, people watching and either tacos or a good burger for dinner.
Parking was scary! As we drove through the mobbed lot we saw car after car with a “boot” on it. Then you scan a sign, put in your card info and pray for the best! Thankfully we did not have a booted car.
The hostess was a little off her game but nothing bad. Just seemed confused as to why I was asking for a table, yet the other half of my party was not present yet. He was navigating the parking horror and also seeing if there was a wild wait. Had I been told the wait was wild, he wouldn’t park and we would roll to another restaurant. Seemed very logical to me! She also strongly emphasized that if we chose to sit on the water we could not change our mind and be moved later. Guessing by her emphasis that happens often.
We were seated on the water of Shem Creek and had a great view. We loved watching the people, the boats, the wildlife and enjoying the sunset sky.
The menu was big and had something for everyone. My one son got a steak with fries, the other mahi with corn/potatoes and broccoli. My husband got a burger and I got fish tacos. The steak was not bad: good flavor and not shoe leather. The fries were really good. The mahi came with a sort of blackening seasoning which for a kid can be a problem. I do wish they mentioned the preparation when telling us what the catch of the day was but otherwise there is no way to know. My husband enjoyed his burger and felt it was pretty good. I LOVE fish tacos and these were okay but not great. They needed a crunch of some sort. There was slaw on it but it maybe sat too long and had no crunch. Maybe some pickled red onion too would’ve really helped. I did love the dirty rice. The cocktails were delicious. I loved the coconut margarita. The service was quick and the waitresses we had were awesome too! Ultimately I would go back again and perhaps order a different dish.

I’ve wanted to go to Mt. Pleasant to eat lately and found this wonderful restaurant. Gather my female friends and we went for dinner. We ordered 3 appetizers and our dinner food. Needless to say the appetizers filled us it was so delicious. I will return again for date night.
Bonus… immediate sitting and it was also right on the water on a cool day.

I don’t like giving negative reviews, but these were the issues I had. I’m going to preface this with it was a crazy busy Saturday night on Shem. Sat at the bar upstairs, which had most bar seats taken but not all. It took the bartender a long time to notice us, so we grabbed our own menus which definitely needed to be wiped off as well as the countertop which we wiped off ourselves. Finally the bartender brought us waters one of which had something floating in it. Didn’t bother bringing it up we just shared the other one. Ordered the lobster and crab dip which was very underwhelming with stale chips. Look i get it. It was crazy busy there all day but still. All in it cost us 25 dollars for the dip, stale chips, and water. Afterward we met friends and went to a neighboring restaurant and tried their dip which was the same price but much larger and way tastier. The whole experience just had a tourist trap/ suburban chain restaurant vibe which is great for the tourists but the locals expect better.

We grabbed a table downstairs at Sunsets Waterfront Dining and loved the view right on the water. The lobster roll was packed with sweet meat on a perfectly toasted bun, not drowning in mayo, and the crab soup was rich, creamy, and full of lump crab. Caleb, our server, was awesome. He greeted us right away, kept drinks filled, knew the menu, and timed everything perfectly. Portions were generous, prices felt fair for the quality and location, and the vibe was relaxed and friendly. We’ll be back for another lobster roll and that crab soup. Thanks, Caleb.

We were choosing between Tavern, Reds, and Sunset and ended up going there. It smelled nice at that place compared to others and prices weren’t as bad for seafood. Left there $63 with a tip for 2 people.
The Grouper fish was so juicy and fresh, loved it! Also, loved the way they do French fries. The Shrimp taco sounded nice on the menu but ended up being not as tasty as I thought. Needed more flavor or spice to it.
Waiter was nice and refilled our water in time. Great views and tables for 4 people. Don’t forget to check out their sushi menu — we forgot but I wish I could try the mango tempura spicy roll.

We heard anywhere in Shem Creek is a great place to catch the sunset for dinner. We figured we would choose ‘Sunsets’ and it didn’t disappoint! We had a beautiful sunset view with dinner, the atmosphere was lovely. I had a tito’s and cranberry and we started out with the Miami Roll. My mom had never tried sushi and she absolutely LOVED IT!! It’s one of the best rolls I’ve ever had. We also got the low country boil and the fried shrimp entree. Everything was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place!

Enjoyed a sunset dinner on the deck recently. No wait (Wednesday night) and fast service thanks to the lovely Ella who took great care of us. Enjoyed cocktails, the hush puppies and dinner. Only suggestion is less salt on the Shrimp Risotto dish. It was too salty and this is coming from the salt queen who loves salt. Management checked on our table after we got our drinks, very friendly. The bathrooms were not only clean but nicely decorated as what the entire restaurant. You can’t beat the views and gorgeous sunset as the boats and paddle boarded pass by.

The food is good, but DO NOT try to go here on a weekend. The service, wait times and parking are all horrible! We waited 45 minutes for a server to take our order. We asked to sit outside but they said it would take 30 minutes. We never got seated outside. Only inside where we could see four empty tables the entire time. No reservations. Ordered a couple of to-go sushi rolls but they only gave us one. The food is still good, but the poor service and lack of parking ruins it. They should ticket and/or tow the pig-parkers who take up two spaces! There were at least five! And fix the POTHOLES!! They’ve been there for AT LEAST a year!

Stopped by while we were on a weekend get away. We stumbled onto amazing people that took karaoke seriously and we have the best time. Great vibes and a fun atmosphere.
