Jan 2025. We finished the Ghost tour here and enjoyed some more signature cocktails. Our guide share a great story about his horse tour that went by the Old Jail - until the horse bolted for no reason. Great group of old friends and new SCVA attendees, great memories this year!

We bought out Port of Call or a corporate event, Robin worked closely with us to make sure all our needs were met. Their timing was good, and service was excellent! We did a buffet style dinner, and they crafted a couple vegetarian dishes for our guests as well which was wonderful! The food tasted good overall, we thought there was room for improvements in the quality for some of the dishes. Overall our experience was great and I would recommend this venue to any large group!

Stopped in for lunch before going to the city market. First things first brunch is available everyday until 3 which is awesome. Our server Faith while being new was very knowledgeable and helped us enjoy a wonderful lunch. I saw a review here that said the chicken sandwich is "on point" I will concur the chicken sandwich was legit. Waffle tots were delicious as well. Five will be joining them again for eats and atmosphere.

A restaurant inside a historic ice house. There is a patio with several tables outside and 2 levels of seating inside. There was a solo musician busking on the patio playing a guitar and singing. The fried fish has a light cornmeal coating.

This was our last meal in Charleston and it was fantastic! We were greeted by Caleb, who was super charming at the host stand. We dug the band hat he wore, and he shared with us that it's a local band to Charleston! We were seated right away. There was live music, which was a great vibe. Our server was great and attentive! We came with our kiddos but would definitely recommend for a casual, laid-back good time for both just adults too!

Delicious Southern Comfort at Port of Call We visited Port of Call in Charleston for lunch on a Friday with a party of four and had a great experience from start to finish. We made a reservation in advance and were seated promptly inside near the bar, a cozy and lively spot with a great atmosphere. I ordered the chicken biscuit sampler, and it did not disappoint. The biscuits were incredibly fresh and buttery, and each variation had its own delicious twist. It was a generous and filling dish, beautifully presented and packed with flavor. You have to try it if you’re visiting! Overall, the service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and the entire experience was smooth and satisfying. Port of Call is definitely a spot worth checking out for a laid-back, flavorful lunch in Charleston.
