Steakhouse · Charlestowne · 37 tips and reviews
Danielle Jarrell: Burger- awesome. Ceaser salad- wonderful (minus the sardine). Filet- holy crap. Creme Brulee with Nivoli Moscato d'Asti- perfect. GO!
Christopher Floss: Old-world steak house feel with a vibrant contemporary vibe! The #steaks are all prime and perfectly seasoned. The New York Strip is awesome with a side of steamed spinach and fried onion strings.
John Rector: Oak Steakhouse is probably the best restaurant in downtown Charleston. Don't worry about parking - they offer a valet service. Just pull up in front on Broad Street and wait for an attendant.

Geoff Yost: Definitely go for the tasting menu - you make no decisions and everything will delight.
Eater: Indaco is the hip new spot to visit for pizza, pasta and negronis. The pies feature perfectly crisp crusts and the toppings are inventive. Dishes are thoughtful derivations of classic Italian flavors.
