Review by Adelle Stehr

Anson Restaurant in Charleston is a true gem! 🌟 The ambiance is cozy yet upscale, perfect for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. I was blown away by the Shrimp & Grits; it was one of the best I've ever had! The roasted oysters were exceptional, and the broccolini was cooked to perfection. Our server, Jackson, provided attentive service, ensuring our glasses never ran dry.

We capped off the meal with a decadent pecan pie - simply divine! My only wish was for a curated zero-proof drink menu. Overall, a fantastic experience; I can't wait to return! 🍽️
