- CCareyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had Abby, the best server ever! Experienced a very VERY minor issue with one of the dishes we ordered and decided to replace it altogether. Two different managers came by and were so apologetic which was so amazing and demonstrated their commitment to service and quality. This wasn't our first visit and certainly will not be our last. Thank you for making our Valentine's Day perfect and thank you Abby for the beautiful rose.More infoTavern & TablePrice: Moderate• American• Mount Pleasant•4.6
- RRobertNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI look forward to returning to Rappahannock Oyster very soon. We loved the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant. Noteworthy is that the music was at just the right level to create an enjoyable ambiance. Service was excellent and the food delicious, especially outstanding are the oysters. On my return, I intend on sampling more. The crab cake preparation was a refreshing surprise from the usual crab cakes I’ve had at other establishments. I loved the chef’s flair with this dish. The dish is delicious and a good value at the price point.More infoRappahannock Oyster Bar - CharlestonPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Downtown Charleston•4.6

Discover Daniel Island
Daniel Island is a vibrant location with traditional neighborhoods, a spectacular coastal view, and a thriving downtown filled with great restaurants. You can enjoy delicacies like parmesan-and-basil-encrusted salmon, lavender-and-honey-marinated pork tenderloin, or succulent lamb-and-beef meatballs over linguini with fine vintage wines and beautiful island views. What could be better than a fine meal starting with a charcuterie plate and jumbo lump crab cakes? Follow it up with tarragon shallot salmon, Mediterranean penne pasta, or pork Milanese and an IPA-style draft beer and you’ll have yourself a dining experience to remember. Save room for dessert because the white chocolate banana bread pudding, triple chocolate cake, and peanut-butter-cup pie are not to be missed. With a smattering of international fare and local bars, Daniel Island is a paradise for those who love food.
