Fulton Five

All aspects of the meal including appetizers for the four of us were exemplary. Warm crusty loaf with individual oil for dipping. The best veal stock based sauce with my beet/chorizo tortellini pasta dish that I can recall in recent memory. The Chefs here know that which they produce will be appreciated by those with a taste for fine food. We will return next time we are in Charleston.

They seated us despite not having reservations. This was on a Monday. A good sign. Appetizers of a salad and seafood salad we're excellent. At first it looked a bit like tuna salad, but it was anything but. Amazing texture and flavor. I could have had six of those. The main dishes we're excellent as well. I had the shrimp with pasta, the exact name escapes me, but it was in a cream sauce. The flavors were simply amazing. I'm pretty sure the pasta is made fresh. It tasted too good to have been dried. I was going to deduct a star since it took 45 minutes for our food to come out (the two tables next to us ordered after and received first), but the food was so good I just couldn't bring myself to deduct a star.

Cozy, romantic, established Italian restaurant tucked away in charming downtown Charleston. Fulton Five is a consistent go-to for a great evening of classic Italian cuisine and wine. We recently went for our wedding anniversary and had a fabulous meal and outstanding service. When you want to step away from trendy, this is your place!

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Charleston--usually a 5 star experience. I had the grouper special which was very good, but my husband's pork chop was pretty terrible. He should have sent it back, but didn't want to have everyone wait on him (we were eating with another couple). The waitress offered us a complimentary dessert which was delicious.

My husband and I visited Charleston and happened upon Fulton Five, which was very near our hotel. When we found the restaurant, it was late in the evening, around 9 PM, and the place was packed. We could tell just by peeking in that it must have been a special place by the atmosphere and happy patrons. The next day, we called and made reservations and couldn't have been more pleased that we did. It was the only way we could have been seated that night. Our server, Charlie, was phenomenal. She perfectly explained the menu to us, and we proceeded to order. Everything was exceptional, but our entrees, the duck and the sausage and gnocchi special, were two of the best meals we have had in a very long time. In fact, after learning that my husband and I were taking our first weekend away since our children had been born, our server asked if she could purchase our dessert for the night. We were floored. It only added to the already perfect night we were having -- and was delicious! Definitely order the tiramisu! We cannot recommend this place enough and will absolutely return one day!

Went for my wife's 29th birthday and had a wonderful time. The atmosphere is very romantic and the food was amazing. Can't remember the name of what I had but it was delicious and the picture speaks for itself. The real gem of the night was the AMAZING and friendly waitress Charli. She instantly made us feel comfortable and told us the story behind the art on the wall. My wife had one of the best birthdays ever and Fulton Five was a huge part of it

This was a great and romantic place to eat. After meeting the reservation time, we were greeted by a great staff. The waiter was knowledgable and offered a good choice in wine. The soup was delicious, the special of the day was delicious and filling. I would totally come back to this restaurant if I'm back in Charleston for more than a day.
