Reviews of Anson

Fantastic food, service, atmosphere! Probably the best dessert I’ve ever had. The pecan pie was just amazing! Really enjoyed the almond basket. Very nice grouper, served with a delicious curry. The chimichurri that came with the filet was excellent! The Chardonnay was perfect, very smooth, not too acidic as I requested. Lovely evening!

Amazing food, beautiful and elegant atmosphere, and wonderful service! Anson exceeded our expectations and I’m only sorry that it took us so long to go here. Food was beautifully prepared and perfectly seasoned; I’ve never seen so many clean plates at one table. Our server, Will, was wonderful, very helpful, and gave great recommendations. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside and out and the added Christmas decorations made it magical. The tables are spaced far enough away from each other so you don’t feel like you’re eating with your neighbor and the noise level was perfect, everyone was able to talk and hear each other without any problems, which is not the case at many other Charleston restaurants we have gone to. Overall, Anson exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to go back! Definitely one of the best, hidden gems in Charleston, and so much better than many of the other restaurants in the area, especially the Establishment. Don’t hesitate, book your reservation today!

One of the best places we have eaten at! We didn’t get the bartenders name but he was amazing and knew what he was doing! One of the best! Im not really a drinker and he knew exactly what to make and it was amazing!! Then our waiter was even more amazing and awesome at his job. Everyone in that restaurant was extremely nice and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better last dinner for our honeymoon.

It's a higher-end restaurant but not to the point of smothering. It has an excellent service and the food and drinks came out fairly quickly. So i had Beet salad (5/5, must try), fried green tomatoes (4/5, very good but I've had better ones a few times in some other high end places), and Filet Mignon (4/5, also very good but I've had better in other places). There is a commercial parking lot right beside it but parking can still be difficult during peak times, as is true in any part of downtown Charleston.

I do have to say that our server Paul was probably the best we’ve had this year. Absolutely stellar service, matched with an excellent ambiance, and excellent food as well. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is when compared to other restaurants in the city at a similar price point, the food quality falls just a bit shy of their competitors. Overall a wonderful dining experience though, and would highly recommend for locals and tourists to check out.

I eat at Ansons every year during the Thanksgiving weekend and it’s always on point. The customer service was fantastic. We had Darnell and he was very attentive. The flounder was to die for…yummy! The Caesar salad was tasteful but was missing something. Overall, fantastic, and I look forward to next year.

My only disappointment was I found this place on our last night and just before closing!! First off, the atmosphere is hands down my favorite! The vibe is spectacular. The drinks soooo good ….. and the burger. That damn burger. I swear to all that is holy, the best hamburger I’ve ever had and there wasn’t anything to it! It was just that good! We grabbed it because it was something we could split since neither of us were real hungry but both said later we wished we had gotten our own. ❤️ will be back and will be recommending!

Incredible food, service and vibe for Charleston SC. I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes w candied bacon and any of the steaks. The beet salad was perfectly pickled but I would have preferred a more creamy burrata in lieu of the hard one they served. The creme Brule was divine. Different than most in that the creme took on a toffee flavor, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was a generous portion, and still they managed to perfectly toast the sugar top so it "cracked" perfectly

This place was highly recommended while visiting Charleston. We requested to be stated upstairs and we happened to have our own bottle of Champagne Vintage 2012 that we were holding for a special dinner like this. The service is outstanding and they accommodated all our requests. The food was in the top three of our 5 days vacation in this foodie paradise. All cooked to perfection, full of flavor and perfect sized. We can't wait to go back again. It is a must visit restaurant.

Lovely experience! We were sat upstairs (recommend if looking for ambiance) and our room was exquisite. Our food was absolutely delicious, even our sides were great. Our server was the sweetest, kindest, most polite woman I’ve ever encountered. She even gave my husband a hands on tutorial on the easiest way to cut into his whole flounder. Between the food, service and gorgeous atmosphere I highly recommend!
