    Our experience at Virginia’s on King was 5-Star. Since it was Thanksgiving day and really nothing open, we ate both breakfast and a late lunch at VOK. We were very impressed with both services and the food quality. The menu was very broad which allowed us to try something different at each seating. The service was even better than the food quality. Tim was honestly one of the most attentive and friendly waiters I have ever experienced. If you are traveling to Charleston make sure to hit VOK and request Tim.

    The first thing that impressed us was the friendly and welcoming Staff. They greeted us and made us feel at home as soon as we entered the establishment. The ambiance is cozy, tasteful and comfortable: brick walls, plush leather, elegant table settings, fireplaces and dim lighting. We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday and were delighted when presented menus printed with “Happy Birthday” and the milestone age superimposed on them. They even said we could take them home as a souvenir. Such a thoughtful touch! Our waiter, Sam, couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. He was very friendly, informative and professional. He was also a great source of information on the menu and offered wonderful suggestions. He made us feel very special. The food was to die for! Everything we ordered was beautifully presented, cooked perfectly and amazingly delicious. The chef and kitchen staff are to be commended. The drinks were generous and made to perfection, as well. Mike does a great job of managing the place. He made sure we were satisfied with our experience and took the time to chat with us for a bit. All in all, we had a wonderful evening and highly recommend Oak Steakhouse.
