I've been to numerous restaurants during restaurant week and the quality, service and ambience are usually lackluster but hereat 82 Queen that was not the case. The appearance of the restaurant itself was very reminiscent of that old Charleston charm.The wait staff were finely groomed and overall the appearance of the restaurant was very easy on the eyes. Walking up the stairsto our table with Old Charleston brick surrounding me, dark stained wooden floors beneath me and dim lighting upon me gave thewarm feeling of a prohibition era speakeasy. I must say that the food was equally impressive. The cuisine was nothing short ofmagnificent. From the freshness and flavor my taste buds were tingling. Nothing was out of place. 82 Queen has definitelyskyrocketed itself into my top five fine dining restaurants in Charleston.

The she crab soup was unbearably salty. We had to drink up all the water after we had one spoonful.Decided to send it back unfortunately. The rice in crab cakes was also so salty. Jambalaya was pretty good. Also got kids pasta- the pasta was good but chicken on top had so much salt on it as well. Maybe the chef recently got Covid? (No offense and I?mquite serious) The waitress and staff are very friendly.

The staff was so nice, friendly and helpful. When we got there we didn't have reservations so it was a little waitbut we did have the option of eating at the bar so we did and lucky it wasn't busy. So make reservations if you want to ensureyou have available seating. I normally use open table. The food was delicious. I will definitely go back. Great experience.

Everything that we ordered was spotless with great recommendations from our lovely waitress (with the unfortunate exception of the wine which was pretty awful). Be sure totry the bourbon pecan pie, so good!! All in all, a great dinner.
