- BBeckySouth Carolina •11 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe really enjoyed our dinner last night. Everyone loved their entrees! The steaks were cooked to perfection and the shrimp were large/firm/fresh! Our waitress was so lovely and genuine. She kept our drinks filled and answered every request for a side or dish right away! The booths were so comfortable and the restaurant is so classy! What we loved the most was that we could hear one another speak and it was not super noisy. It was a great experience and the menu is so reasonably priced for such an upscale restaurant! We will be back again soon! :-) And Thank You for making my friend's Birthday dinner so special!More infoVictor's Seafood and SteakPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown Charleston•4.3
- DDianeIowa •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoWe ate at the Swamp Fox 3 times during our stay. Each time, the food was incredible and the service amazing, especially Sylvie. The ambience was wonderful, too. We will definitely recommend the Swamp Fox and will visit again, should we return to Charleston.

- KKerriAsheville / Western North Carolina •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 25, 2024"We decided to celebrate Christmas with a special 'date' for brunch at Gabrielle in Hotel Bennett, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, the service was impeccable. Daniel, in particular, stood out for his attentiveness and the thoughtful touch of addressing us by name. Every staff member we encountered was warm, professional, and genuinely helpful, adding to the festive atmosphere. The food and ambiance were perfect for the occasion, and we left feeling truly cared for. I can't recommend Gabrielle enough—it was such a memorable experience that it might just become our new Christmas tradition."More infoGabrielle Charleston in Hotel BennettPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Southern• Downtown Charleston•4.5
