LOVE Fleet Landing! It was a blast from the past because my husband and I lived in Charleston for years. Fleet Landing was one of our favorites because the food was reliably wonderful. Excellent service and an amazing view.

About the restaurant
This waterfront locale is historically known as the launching site of our country's first submarine, the H.L. Hunley. Poised at the breach between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic, you can enjoy a meal amongst the spectacular sunset views and balmy ocean breezes of the Isle of Palms. Come early and have a cocktail at the Rooftop Bar while enjoying amazing views before dining.

About the restaurant
Tavern & Table is the dream child of Cecil & Dianne Crowley, Andy Palmer & Jeff Condon. After years of working together on various successful restaurant concepts, they wanted to bring together the very best aspects of fine dining and casual hospitality in a beautiful and comfortable setting. Tavern & Table is more than a restaurant, it was created to be a gathering place where people sit in comfort and share small plates for the table or enjoy a hearty meal. The bartenders know the fine art of cocktail making and their interest in flavor and presentation comes alive in not only in the food but in barrel aged cocktails that are created in-house.

This is the second time we have eaten at Longboard. The appetizers are exceptional, shrimp and short ribs are outstanding. Our server, Sayler made our night fantastic. I had the poke the serving was smaller than expected. My wife had the pork chop it was very good and I would order it the next time I come here.

We just happened upon this restaurant when we were hungry. The wait staff was extremely friendly, we found out there was an upstairs, with balcony seating as well overlooking the little side street with horse drawn carriages. The food was delicious. The blue grab shredded over fried green tomatoes, chicken and waffle skewers, portobello mushroom fries, flat breads and their cocktail menu, were excellent. I enjoyed a grapefruit mimosa made with their own sparkling Chardonnay. We were in CHS for 4 nights and had 2 meals at this restaurant. Definitely recommend, portions just right, options for everyone and again- a great setting.
