Best Seafood Restaurants in James Island

When you first approach the greeter (Caroline) she immediately welcomes you by your first and last name before you get a chance. What a very nice warm welcome to start your night off. Then requested a window seat and no questions asked, go to the bar order drinks that come fast and then your window seat is ready. Next fast service by a friendly waitress. Atmosphere and food amazing! Would highly recommend this place to anyone! This is why we keep going back.

We started with the SheCrab soup and fried green tomatoes. Delicious. Best SheCrab soup I’ve ever had. The fried green tomato portion was substantial—with okra and pimento cheese. I added some of the hot sauce that was on the table to the dish. Perfect amount of heat. We then had the sweet and spicy shrimp and a po-boy sandwich. Excellent portion size. Francis was our server and was great with recommendations and explanations. Would definitely go again!

Great experience here! Food was outstanding. We had the deviled eggs which were amazing. I had the filet and he had the ribeye which were both perfect. The crème brûlée for dessert was also very good! The only downside was it was a little smokey but that’s to be expected.

What a wonderful dinner. We absolutely loved our sever, he was attentive, funny and had the prefect balance of interaction. The ambience of the restaurant was top notch, intimate, but still fun. All of our food was exceptionally good. We would highly recommend The Establishment.

Our server Hayley was outstanding. Everything she recommended was spot on. The selection of seafood choices was surprising broad. The swordfish was cooked to perfection. The crab stuffed flounder was huge and delicious. I highly recommend a visit to Coast.
