Anson Restaurant

My hubby and I recently returned to Charleston SC for a vacation. Charleston has sooo many wonderful restaurants and Anson’s is at the top of that list. We had reservations but were pleasantly surprised when we received a call from the Manager confirming our reservation and our seating request. Impressive. Upon our arrival at the restaurant, we were greeted by several employees. Our table was in a beautifully decorated room wherein the tables were dressed well but spaced apart to ensure our safety and privacy. Very nice. I’m gluten sensitive so I have to be careful. Their menu was marked clearly. I ordered the she crab soup and the shrimp and grits. Hubby ordered the beet salad and the grouper Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. Eventhough the she crab soup was not marked gluten free I ordered it and was fine. They either use small amounts of flour or cornstarch to thicken; whichever the case, I experienced no discomfort and would order it again. The grits are the best I’ve ever tasted. I could eat them everyday. My hubby was equally impressed with the grouper and beet salad. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert. Our server, Peter, was wonderful! Very attentive without that annoying hovering. A+++

I dined at Anson this past weekend with my fiance. The service and ambiance was exquisite. Our server Richard was very attentive and helped us with all of our requests. My fiance did not eat gluten and they were able to accommodate perfectly. The food was phenomenal, the chefs attention to detail here was top notch. Would have been a 5 star review, however there were no dolphin fingers to be found anywhere on the menu. No dolphin fingers in Charleston?
