- DDwaineColumbus •7 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe visited for this restaurant for the first time and have to say that we will visit each time in Charleston. My wife is celiac and the waiter was very knowledgeable and restaurant had many options. She had the New Bedford Sea Scallops, which were delicious. I tried the Lowcountry Bouillabaisse and it was very good. Highly recommend this as a go to restaurant in Charleston.More infoAmen Street Fish + Raw BarPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Downtown Charleston•4.8

- MMaleetaSouth Carolina •11 reviews5.0Dined on 8 Oct 2024We were celebrating our very young acting friend who does the gym for two hours M-F who was celebrating her 90th birthday! Our Queen of Everything, Myrtice charms everyone she meets with her high energy. The management graciously compted her meal and gave her a dessert. She was thrilled and we agreed to come back someday soon for breakfast since her workout time is 5-7! Thank you for your kindness to all of us, especially making Myrtice feel extra special!More infoSaffire RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Downtown Charleston•3.8
