- DDanielSouth Carolina •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI forget about Wren and they were the only opening for valentines dinner and it didn’t disappoint at all. The service was excellent as well as the food. We will definitely be back soon.More infoWren Bistro & BarPrice: Moderate• American• Beaufort•4.6
- JJoshSouth Carolina •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoAnother excellent evening at Miramare. For two of the couples this was their first visit. It will not be their last. The staff is always welcoming and helpful, the food always delicious. Tried two new (to me) dishes; the mussels starter (and every mussel was open), and a special, fettucine w ground sausage in a cream/bechamel (?) sauce which was great as well. And don't worry when the chef (occasionally) changes the menu; any favorite dish you miss means a new potential favorite is being added. Later evening parking can be challenging in the winter months. Habersham is lovely, but small, residential areas predominate within a block or two.More infoMiramare ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Burton•4.6
- TThomasVIPAtlanta •15 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis is an outstanding restaurant! We ate here last year while in Beaufort. This time was even better. I chose a high top table in the lounge…like being where there’s more activity. We had Ozzie as our waiter, and he was the bartender as well. He was excellent, great service with friendliness as well. I had Chicken with collards and selected broccolini instead of potatoes. My husband had the Filet with potatoes and asparagus. We both had the grilled Caesar. Everything was first class decadent! If we come back next year, we’ll have a third visit.More infoBreakwater Restaurant & Bar - BeaufortPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Beaufort•4.7
- CChristinaCharlotte •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoOur 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.More infoSaltus River GrillPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Beaufort•4.7
- TTomVIPNashville •40 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 5, 2025The restaurant is in a stunning setting of one of the very old buildings in the city and across from the water. The service and food were exceptional. We were a party of four and seated next to a front window. Most highly recommended establishment!More infoThe Ribaut Social Club - Anchorage 1770Price: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Beaufort•4.6
