Absolutely the best grilled octopus in the south. That is a strong statement, but their method of marinating and finishing on the Josper – simply perfection. We will definitely be back!

Well thought out shareable plates of tasty foods. Highlights included brussel sprouts, lamb meatballs, goat cheese, octopus, croquetas, wine and patatas! They did a fantastic renovation on the building. Enjoyable atmosphere! We had a memorable dinner sharing plates with friends and we will be back.

Pros: Cocktails were well balanced and delicious. The croquetas were on point: crispy outside and savory gooieness inside. Wagyu coulotte was prepared perfectly, quite tender and juicy.

My boyfriend and I are locals and consider ourselves to be quite the foodies, and this is one of our most favorite spots in all of Charleston, if not our top favorite! It’s not often where you find a restaurant where literally everything is perfect, but this is one of them. From the service and food quality to the extensive wine collection, everything is fantastic! Arguably the best cooked octopus throughout the whole city, and the croquetas and meatballs are simply heavenly! Definitely a must try!

Hidden gem in the downtown charleston area. Enjoy some charred octopus and have a few drinks away from the bumbling night life for those looking for a quiet date night.

We had a great dinner! We got the bravas, ribs, lamb meatballs, scallops, steak and cheese cake for dessert. This is one of those rare places where I’m pretty sure whatever you order on the menu will be delicious, not a single thing disappointed. My wife had the Spanish GNT and I had the Pear and Bourbon cocktail and they were both awesome as well. Service was phenomenal as well, Julian did a great job and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

This is a phenomenal cuisine experience!! If you love full body flavors and an eclectic taste bud experience – then Laurel is the spot for you! Small tapas style dishes, with Spanish / Portuguese inspiration. You can’t go wrong with this spot!

We went for a before dinner drink and had the best time! So happy to have gotten to try this place and while we thought we were just there for wine (which was so well selected and delicious) we were talked into trying the food and the lamb meatballs and crudo were dining highlights! The service was so friendly and helpful while letting us enjoy, it was a wonderful experience and a highlight of Charleston.
