Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Beaufort

The food and experience at Church and Union is one of a kind. Our waiter, Kyle, was an incredible host as he guided us through courses of delicious food and drinks. Be weary of a later reservation as the restaurant has a live DJ starting around 10pm. Overall, a must go to while traveling through Charleston, SC!

Our Absolute “Go To” restaurant on the island! Everything about Charlie’s is fantastic. The menu entrees are changed daily depending on availability of their fish options. We have had many of the appetizers but generally go back to their escargot. You will always have a great entree and the Pave’ Chocolat for dessert is a must try. Highly Recommended!!!

Enjoyed an evening at Alligator Soul. Food full of flavor and beautifully presented. Our waiter Samuel took great care of us and the restaurant has numerous staff looking after you. Will definitely return and look forward to trying new items on the menu. Oysters a La soul and the gumbo so full of flavor and could have eaten a dz frog legs that came with the gumbo. Who would a thought!

It was my first time in Savannah, and although a reservation for dinner on Valentine’s Day was unavailable, we were able to get one for the night before in early evening. When we found the table for two to be quite small, we were quickly and pleasantly moved to a table for four. Drinks were the Savannah Peach (smooth and not too strong). Our dinner included French onion soup, grouper, crab cakes, and sides. Dessert (excellent choices) was chocolate mousse cake and the Peach Trio. The entire meal was absolutely delicious. Our server was attentive, accommodating, informative and not at all intrusive. Over all, a wonderful experience for a special, romantic long weekend. Our only regret - we wanted to return for dinner on Saturday evening, but there were no tables available. Next time…

Our dinner was perfect start to finish. We sat on the patio with our pup and were immediately greeted warmly and with a fresh bowl of water. There was a nice outdoor fire, soft lighting. Our server was friendly and on point. The food we ate was all delicious-salad special with Thai chili calamari, lobster bisque, sirloin, crab cake, beet salad, cheesecake and creme brûlée. The sirloin was butter soft, best mashed potatoes my husband has ever eaten and I can say the same about the crème brûlée. It’s a nice date night with beautiful views of the water. The dog friendly patio was a must for us. I highly recommend eating here and we would come back given the chance.
