Circa 1886 Restaurant

Nice place to celebrate a special occasion. I brought my spouse here and enjoyed our evening. We ordered off the menu instead of the tasting menu. Grouper could have been better but everything else was amazing.. especially soufflé!! Staff was kind. Highly recommend checking out the hotel next door.. very cute Christmas decor and staff was welcoming.

We have lived in Charleston for the past five years and this was by far the most amazing dinner experience we have had. We had the pleasure of having Bryan and Francesco wait on us and they provided us with top notch service. The menu was to die for and I personally went with one of the taste menus (Cooper) coupled with the wine pairings. The food was beyond delicious. The sea bass, wagyu, and Soufflé were three of the five courses which were my absolute favorite. Anne was our Sommelier and had so much knowledge of the wines and paired them really well. Throughout the dinner, the general manager, Mark Severs, was amazing. He had the entire restaurant in complete control and would walk the floor during service. He would check on tables as well to ensure everyone was well taken care of.

An exquisite dining experience in Charleston. If you have time for a special experience, don’t miss dinner here. It was a birthday celebration for my lady. We indulged in the both the offered tasting menus. If you can, enjoy the experience. I did not see the Michelin star that this chef and his staff deserve.

Everything was fantastic, Bryan was an amazing server. This was my first time trying fine dining and I can’t thank everybody at Circa 1886 enough for making my birthday special. The food was fantastic my favorites were the sweet potato gnocchi and the desert - a touch of vanilla and I’m normally not a dessert person. I can’t wait to go back.

Amazing experience! I ordered staters because I wanted the soufflé for dessert. The chef/staff made an alteration to one of the dishes because of my allergies. Dennis at the bar is fantastic!! Go out of your way to come here. Service and food are amazing! Also, the wine list is quite extensive.
