Our evening at The Establishment was definitely our top dining experience ever! The food was superb. Don’t sleep on the Gnudie!! Delicious!! The service was excellent. The overall interior vibe was beautiful and the jazz trio was a perfect accompaniment to the evening. We were seated only two tables away from them and I was nervous it would be too loud and damper our night but the sound level was perfect! We ended the evening with a short chat with the charming General Manager Shane, when he stopped by to inquire about our evening. That is always a nice personal touch in our opinions. They made this birthday girl feel special from start to finish. We can’t recommend The Establishment enough for a very memorable evening out!!

Charleston is a beautiful city and we were excited to visit for the second time. We were delighted to have dinner here, the restaurant is tastefully decorated with two main areas: a cozy back room and a front double room featuring lovely live music. The food was delicious, even though we ended up ordering a bit too much!

The best meal of my life! My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary dinner here & the food, service & atmosphere were outstanding! We felt so catered to & in every interaction we had with the hosts & wait staff, people congratulated us on our anniversary & were very welcoming to us. The food was incredible! The sashimi was outstanding – melt in your mouth tuna & the oysters with the melon mignonette were out of this world. I wanted a dirty Gin martini but wanted to try a new gin. They recommended an excellent gin to try which paired really well with the olives. We also got the ssam whole fish & ribeye. Both were incredible! Finished with macarons & coffee… also so good! Highly recommend including this on your next trip to Chucktown. Did not disappoint!!

The Establishment is one of my favorite dinner spots in downtown Charleston. The chicken liver mousse was rich and silky, and the pumpkin agnolotti was one of the best dishes I have had this fall.

The whole meal was balanced, warm, and full of flavor. Service was relaxed and friendly, and the atmosphere on Broad Street always feels special.

A great Charleston dining experience.

Celebrating my birthday at The Establishment was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was simply perfect—romantic, with soft lighting and light music that created an intimate and relaxing atmosphere. The service was outstanding, with a team that was attentive and made sure every detail was just right. And the food—absolutely phenomenal! From the appetizers to the dessert, every dish was thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor. It was the kind of dining experience that feels truly special, and I couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate. I’ll definitely be back for another memorable evening!

We had no idea what to expect when making the reservation at The Establishment but were pleasantly surprised from the moment we walked in. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Everyone was dressed nice , no shorts and T-shirts which is always a nice change of pace. Our waiter Andy, was very personable and ridiculously knowledgeable. Andy made some great suggestions for drinks and appetizers .
Let’s begin with drinks. The Dirty Martini was delicious. The Stylist, delicious, The Old Fashioned, delicious!!! We were off to a great start. After speaking with Andy we chose to have the gnudi, South Carolina peaches, and the bread service for appetizers. One dish was better than the other (we were debating getting another order of the gnudi for dessert! Yep, it was that good).
We ordered the scallops, grouper, and flounder. Outrageous! Each and every dish was fantastic. We were all pretty sure the night couldn’t get any better, until it did…
None of us are big dessert people, but after perusing the desert menu we decided to try the macarons, the cobbler, and homemade ice cream. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, it did. Holy cow! The Establishment is a must visit. It is the complete dining experience… run don’t walk, this place is a must try.

Top notch from hostess to bartenders to waitstaff to bussers to manager. Exceptional all around. Food was melt-in-your mouth delicious. We were there for our anniversary and made a last minute reservation because we were supposed to be in Paris but plans changed and this may have been better, we’ll never know. Loved it all. Thank you to everyone at The Establishment. It was a lovely evening.

Dined here on our last night of vacation in Charleston with my husband. We had the best time, and our waiter, Miller, recommended all the best food and wine. A 10/10 experience!

Amazing! We absolutely loved The Establishment. The Gnudi is the best, get 2 or don’t share yours The glaze/sauce on the pork chop was to die for. Special shout out to Shane who made it extra special and welcoming, taking the time to visit with us twice to make sure we were having a wonderful experience. We’ll be back for sure!

The Establishment is primarily a fish restaurant with a short menu, including one steak and one vegetarian entree. So probably not your best choice if you have a hankering for meat or are vegetarian or vegan. Its location on Broad St is very good, with lots of street parking and a parking garage about two blocks away. Very nice decor and a relatively quiet and upscale vibe. Service is very good and the overall impression is smart. We were a party of four, all fish lovers and fish was what we ordered. The triggerfish was excellent, perfectly cooked and helped along by a mild seasoned sauce. The grouper got mixed reviews. It was well cooked but a little bland. One interesting quirk of the restaurant is that you only qualify for happy hour prices on drinks and appetizers if you sit at the bar, if you at a table, no luck. Now that is bizarre. Desserts were good but nothing special. Overall, we liked the restaurant, its downtown prices are high and its menu selections are limited but it has an extensive wine list and knowledgeable staff. We give it four clams on the coveted Five Quahog Rating Scale.
