Celebrating my birthday at The Establishment was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was simply perfect—romantic, with soft lighting and light music that created an intimate and relaxing atmosphere. The service was outstanding, with a team that was attentive and made sure every detail was just right. And the food—absolutely phenomenal! From the appetizers to the dessert, every dish was thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor. It was the kind of dining experience that feels truly special, and I couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate. I’ll definitely be back for another memorable evening!

We hosted our Rehearsal Dinner in a private room at The Establishment a few months ago. Our experience was AMAZING start to finish. We worked with Shane, and he made the process so seamless. He was always responsive to our questions, and totally flexible with our asks. The room was beautiful and our guests RAVED about the food! Thanks so much for everything, Shane!

My wife and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint. The food was so good, including the pavlova which we would highly recommend. The most outstanding thing however was the service. Cayla was awesome and did a phenomenal job walking through the menu and sharing her thoughts on what to taste; she was also very attentive throughout the night. From the very start all the staff wished us a happy anniversary and continued to make the night special for us. Whenever we come back to Charleston we will certainly come back to the Establishment. This was one of the best places we’ve been in a long time.

Five stars is not enough! We went to The Establishment for my wife's birthday and they were so kind and attentive to us, wishing my wife a happy birthday and providing a surprise birthday treat for her. The staff provided excellent recommendations and made sure we were well taken care of the entire evening. I don't think I've ever experienced better service anywhere. Thank you from the bottom of my heart To the food: My meager photos will not do it justice, but it was as amazing as the service. We ordered several small plates, each better than the last. For our main entrees, my wife had the scallops and I had the grouper. The dishes were well composed and extremely delicious. Others have mentioned the espresso cake and the macarons. I will echo the sentiment that they were delicious and a great way to end the evening. Thank you so much to everyone in the kitchen and the front of the house, we hope to be back soon!
