Restaurants near Calhoun Mansion

We love Ansons and this night was especially nice. We took our granddaughter out for a welcome home from college dinner. The room upstairs was a quiet welcoming booth. (Quiet is a rarity for Charleston) Kaden ( along with two others) was cordial, knowledgeable about our meal choices, always available to serve us and remove unused and empty dishes. Kaden’s recommendations were perfect and he made the evening special. My husband had the grouper which was amazing. My choice is always the flounder (an Anson specialty) and it lived up to my expectations. Our granddaughter chose the gnocchi and loved it. We will certainly return again soon.

What a great experience! This charming restaurant in the heart of Charleston’s historic district had amazing food and service. We ordered the braided pasta with sausage and a side of brussel sprouts, both were outstanding!

Had the greatest waitress named Sophia. She was outstanding. All four entrées were excellent. The menu selection was great. And the gluten-free menu was awesome. Only problem which I’m sure that you know is the noise level can get pretty intense when there’s a crowd. Other than that, it was a great experience. 

We had a wonderful lunch of she crab soup, raw oysters, baked oysters, and the fresh catch the day flounder sandwich. Food & service was excellent. We will be back and highly recommend. Thanks again.
