Breakwater Restaurant & Bar

The restaurant has an amazing crew who go above and beyond on their duties. I always feel I can just sit, eat and relax. I was there during the Christmas and New Year break. The food was amazing. The wine was great. And the crew was espectacular. Whoever is in charge of recruiting/hiring personnel is doing a great job. It ll reflects on the customer service and food. Thank you for the southern charm and food. Now I gotta go back to work. I will see you next time.

Lovely restaurant on the Beaufort main street along the waterfront. We had the restaurant week special- oyster stew, fried chicken, choices of sauces, mashed potatoes, collard greens, and creme brulee, and I had flounder with mango sauce over pimento grits and broccolini - all so delicious! Nice wine and specialty cocktails list too. Nice relaxed atmosphere, and the wait staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

On a visit to Beaufort, SC we tried out some local restaurants. Although this restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere and great view of the river, we were disappointed in the food quality and prep. The rack of lamb was overcoated with a thick peppery, salty coating of some kind, and the meat was served medium rare to rare. The manager did compensate us because I really could not finish it. The other meal was a blackened Mahi which was average and a very small portion for the prices we paid. I wish them well and hope that they have better trained kitchen staff in the future.

We’re on a roadtrip across the country, and google reviews are our map. Stayed at Emerald Stay (5+) and walked down to Breakwater for diner. Reviews were high, and definitely well deserved - hostess was epitome of southern charm, sever was Gabby, and she too embodied South Carolina’s famous hospitality. Decent wine menu, good fried tomatoes….BUT the fried chicken with gravy was stellar, all SC fried chicken is delicious, but Breakwater dish was the best I’ve had, crispy fried outside, tender moist inside, smothered in a white gravy (opted out of Nashville) on a bed of mashed potatoes, of course…wife had regional shrimp and grits, also good…..but the fried chicken is worth the two weeks of pain at the gym I promised myself that night.. blueberry cobbler for desert, delicious, only because

My husband & I absolutely enjoyed our anniversary dinner there. The salmon & the swordfish were impeccable, complimented by the beans & sauces, full of flavor. There was a nice selection of wine & we loved the dessert.
