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!

Great experience here! Food was outstanding. We had the deviled eggs which were amazing. I had the filet and he had the ribeye which were both perfect. The crème brûlée for dessert was also very good! The only downside was it was a little smokey but that’s to be expected.
