I have genuinely loved eating here however, on 14 Feb 26, my husband eat dinner here and I ordered the shrimp and grits like I had done twice before.
I was shocked at the portion size that was brought to the table which caused me to ask the hostess if my fish was the normal portion.
In the past I received a full plate of shrimp and grits however on this visit, the portion was considerably less for $32. This felt like a ripoff. I’m very disappointed that a smaller proportion actually cost more money that the full plate I am accustomed to receiving.

I was excited to come to this place for Valentine’s Day with my wife and the experience that we had was not great. The service specifically. Joey our waiter was not so pleasant or present we ordered appetizers and drinks alcoholic beverages everything was fine until he took our food order 20 minutes later and had the nerve to tell us what we wanted to order was not available. You should have explained that first before you took our appetizer order you would think. My wife ordered the short rib and I ordered the red snapper which both meals were out I really didn’t have a problem with that so we ordered something else. Joey, our waiter did not come back to our table to offer us another round of drinks. I had to ask him multiple times for water. He didn’t explain to us why our food was taking so long. I had to ask him. He explained it will be out soon. My food never came. I had to go to the manager and asked what was going on. The manager came out and explained to me that the food was coming and there would be no charge. I had reservations at forte jazz. We didn’t have no more time to wait so I told them bring me the check .I appreciate the manager for comping my food but I wasn’t there to get a free meal. I offered to pay for our drinks and appetizers and the waiter said that the Manager said not to worry about it so I don’t even know what the food tastes like. Well I did try the clams on the half shell which were good.

Excellent service and a laid-back vibe in historic Charleston, South Carolina.
I sat at the bar and received quick service. I chose the shrimp and grits, which had a unique twist on the classic dish. I really enjoyed it.
The atmosphere captured Charleston’s rustic charm. There was ample seating and parking, and the surrounding area was very walkable.

We started off with the Seafood Tower: fresh, delicious, and filling. It gave us a great array of food and things to try. I especially enjoyed the chilled shrimp and the cocktail sauce. The Rappahannock Oysters were some of the best I have ever had. For our main dishes we tried the fish, spaghetti and clams, and the Caesar wedge. One thing I also noticed was how reasonably priced everything was. If you are looking for something on the less expensive side they have shrimp and grits, a burger, and more under $25. Overall a great dinner.

Came for dinner. Loved the location and design of this restored complex. I also like the design and layout of the restaurant. The overall experience was better than ok but it definitely could have been better. Food was good but not great. Don’t order the steak. Now, the Oysters actually where excellent and the presentation. Loved the Shrimp and Grits as well. I would need to return and give it a second chance. Unfortunately we visited midweek after New Year on a rainy night so the restaurant was slow so their was no ambiance. But the most important is the food. I will return on my next trip and try other things that we where recommended.
The best thing about this evening was our server. She was excellent and very engaging and had a great personality.
I think this place is more fit for an afternoon late lunch or a happy hour for seafood and Oysters rather than a dinner.

Fast service, fantastic food, and great atmosphere. I’ll be coming back. We had the BBQ paprika fried oysters and they were very savory. We also tried shrimp (lemon garlic, maybe) and it was very good. I had the fish milanese and my wife had fish-of-the-day, wreckfish in this case, and really enjoyed it. Also, if the customers tell you anything about a place, the other patrons were jovial, relaxed, and enjoying themselves. Overall, it was great experience.

Located in the old cigar factory Rappahannock oyster bar has old brick walls and a wonderful lively atmosphere. On a beautiful night we like to dine on the outdoor patio and enjoy the water view.

Had a nice dinner here. Shared the raw Oysters which were quite good, pan-seared fish, short ribs, and the bread service.
The short ribs stole the show and unfortunately overwhelmed the more delicate fish in comparison. The bread service was okay, bread itself was nice but the flavored butters were forgettable and inferior to dipping in the food sauces.
Minor criticisms as the overall meal and drinks were quite good.

We are in Charleston for the Food & Wine Festival and stopped in here after seeing the Rappahannock Oyster Co owners on Emeril’s show showing off their fab oysters (HUGE fan of their Olde Salts!) and finding out they had a restaurant here.
It did NOT disappoint! Love the setting in the old cigar factory right on East Bay Street. Easy parking, too!
Chris took great care of us from start to finish. We ordered a dozen oysters on a halfshell (4 each of the Rappahannocks, Olde Salts, and Rochambeaus) that were super fresh, tasty, and expertly shucked. I had the jumbo crab cake over celery root slaw and this is the BEST crab cake I’ve had in years! The crab cake is 6 ozs of the sweetest crab and absolutely no fillers. My hubby had the whole butterflied red snapper with rice & salad and it was all perfect! He is not a big rice & salaf guy but couldn’t say enough about how good both were with a unique sweetness to the rice & the salad perfectly dressed with a light vinegrette.
We loved the hot sauce so much, we purchased a bottle to take home as well as one of the glasses.

Wide variety of oysters, sweet local shrimp, blue crab cake but not lump meat! Great mezcal margarita, OK selection of beers on draft. A bit pricey at $9 for side salad and $7 for bread, so best to go during 4-6pm happy hour.
