    Everything was tip top here. The hostess was gracious about our early arrival and was able to seat us. The waitstaff is so professional, concentrated and smooth but not frantic or stressed. The warm olives were such a good choice of appetizer! All of us raved about the food, three different pasta dishes and a pizza. Everything was delicious, and the portions are satisfying. Next time, I want to try their Chef’s Choice family style Pris Fixe option. The ambiance is upscale casual, not rowdy but not intimidating. It’s always fun to have an open kitchen in view. I noticed long bar-height tables suitable for large parties. We had hearing aid wearers in our party, and the noise level in the full restaurant did not interfere with conversation at a four-top along the wall. Indigo Road Restaurant Group is known for high standards and for doing things right; you can’t go wrong st any of them. Downtown Charleston residents like ourselves don’t eat downtown as much as we used to as the area has gotten so popular worldwide wide. But we stick to our favorites, and Indaco is one of ours.

    We enjoyed our first dinner on the 17th so much, decided to return for our ‘last night’ -right next to our hotel, a great location! Our server, Alex, was terrific! Calamari, fish tacos, mussels all delish…Pinot Gri and Cali Chardonnay tasty parings - we shall return! (But, perhaps NOT on an early eve before ‘showtime’ next door at the theatre😉)

    Oku=slay Food is amazing, second time visiting from Asheville and both times they make me wonder why we don’t have a Japanese restaurant like this back at home. Our server was perfect, she didn’t feel the need to smother us by coming up every 5 minutes and asking us how everything was which was a plus. She was able to give us some really good recommendations on vegetarian options (which more than most have to offer) it was a really welcoming experience. The food was really well done. plating was beautiful, food times were fast, and the deserts we tried were amazing. Little improvement is that if they played as much edm, they could have been playing more charli xcx. Iykyk

    We made a meal out of four different AMAZING appetizers. Each one was very unique and outrageously delicious. Our cocktails were quite delicious as well. Will definitely be back!

Discover Charleston

When you're in the historic port town of Charleston, you'll see an abundance of seafood. From the Low Country boils that include lobster and potatoes to shrimp and grits, there is a bit of everything for you to enjoy. Seafood restaurants are found on almost every corner and serve the freshest seafood possible as it's caught from the ocean on the same day in most cases. Another favorite dish that you'll find is fried chicken and waffles. Be sure to stop by one of the many souvenir stores in Charleston to get fresh fudge or a bag of saltwater taffy.
