Restaurants near Washington Square

We enjoy the restored buildings of Charleston. So much history ..... make sure to read the history piece on ghe back of Amen's menu. We always look for seafood restaurants when we visit the east coast. Amen did not disappoint! I had the special (white fish with a robust sauce ..... and a medley of veggies; which I love) and my husband had the blackened mahi). They both were amazing. Our server was friendly, fun and helpful. Definitely a pro. Cary and I highly recommend Amen Street Fish and Raw Bar to anyone who loves good food and service; especially seafood + oysters!

Seating was a wee tight. But the ambience with light filtering in through the huge glass windows gave the space an open yet cosy feeling. Service was attentive without the need for summoning. If you are ordering off the Pastry menu be warned - you will be packing your other orders to take home. The Brioche Coffee Croissant will be forever in my memory. The location is a great asset.

The server was great from the get go and got me some champagne because it was my birthday! We ordered the poutine for an appetizer which was HUGE. The Daisy Buchanan was very refreshing. I had the Steak Frites Skewers. They were juicy and and the seasoning was so delicious. My date had the Shrimp and he said it was really good as well. Our server was very attentive and the performer for the night had an incredible voice.

Our server Chris was absolutely amazing. My girlfriend often request hot/warm water at restaurants. At restaurants that’s more catered towards westerner, they never refill unless asked for. Not Chris. Chris was attentive all evening even though he was busy with what seemed like every other table. Every time my girlfriend finished her cup of hot water, Chris immediately brought out another one. Never once at a “western restaurant” has this happened in my life. Chris made this experience unforgettable, and we’re truly thankful for the service.

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.
