Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in James Island

One of the best meals we’ve ever had. We arrived very early, and were greeted kindly and seated right away. Our waiter was excellent. The food was perfectly done, and was outstanding. We would come back in a heartbeat! Special mention to the crab soup, the filet mignon and the crème brûlée, but everything was great.

Reservation for 6:30PM, waited about 10 minutes to be seated. Not bad, but did request window seat and did not get. That is about the only negative. It is very hard to get that request. But other than that. 5 STAR!, great place to go that I would recommend very highly!!!!

Our server was wonderful! He knew all about the decor and had great facts! They were also very accommodating. The smaller room got really cold, since people were leaving, so I asked if we can move to the big room, which had more people and was warmer. They looked into it and was able to grant the request. I was sad that the raviolis were sold out. We both had the lamb burgers. They were amazing! Would recommend!

Welcoming vibe. Great service. Great steak, parker rolls, onion rings, and truffle fries.

Indaco is a pasta lover’s dream come true! From start to finish, our meal was nothing short of exceptional. We began with the Caesar salad, which might just be the best Caesar I’ve ever had. Instead of the usual croutons, they used delicate crumbles of heaven that elevated every bite. It was so good, we ordered a second one before our pasta even arrived! The pasta dishes were equally outstanding. The tortellini and the black pepper tagliatelle (their incredible take on carbonara) were both cooked to perfection, with flavors that were rich, balanced, and utterly delicious. Each bite showcased the care and skill that goes into their pasta-making. Although we didn’t try the pizzas, we saw them being served to other tables, and they looked absolutely beautiful—definitely something to try on a future visit. To finish, we indulged in the classic tiramisu, which was the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. Indaco is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates expertly crafted Italian cuisine. If you’re in Charleston, don’t miss it!
