Best Waterfront Restaurants in James Island

Kingstide delivered an exceptional dining experience, marked by impeccable service and outstanding cuisine. My husband chose the nero pasta, which was a delightful showcase of flavors and textures, while I savored the succulent short rib entrée that was cooked to perfection. We also had the carrot appetizer, a surprisingly delightful addition that complemented our meal beautifully. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed and look forward to returning for more culinary adventures.

Nathan was a great waiter, he had great energy and was very helpful in helping us choose what to order! Everything was delicious

We had a wonderful dinner on Christmas Eve at The Boathouse. Valet was friendly and efficient. The hostess was kind, and our table was ready when we arrived for our reservation. The food was excellent (as always) and well paced. Even on such a busy evening we never felt rushed and service was wonderful. Thank you so much!!

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful meal at Amen! My son and I split 1/2 dozen oysters that were perfection. We ordered the hushpuppies and fried green tomatoes for the table, both were delicious. My husband had the fried chicken, which was excellent, my son ordered the noodles from the kid's menu and I had the fig and goat cheese salad. Our server was kind and attentive and the restaurant was cozy and festive for the season. The drinks were very good as well - mocktails and non-alcoholic IPA. We would absolutely go back!
