    Though we thought expensive, the execution of food and service was superb creating value appropriate for the price. Server food knowledge and descriptions excellent. Wine paring thoughtful, delicious.

    We loved the food at Zero and the outdoor setting was lovely. I would have given 5 stars except for the fact that it was all a little precious. And why is the 4-course $65 menu not presented? We knew about it from going online but then no sight of it. Then we’re told it’s a pre-theater menu. Pre-theater in Charleston??? Just how many theaters are there in Charleston? (We’re from NY.). That said, the food we had was delicious.

    We were able to do their Saturday evening tasting menu. It was amazing. The chef was a wizard with the flavors and the pairings were excellent. This is a must-do for foodies visiting Charleston.

    This is a very special restaurant, unlike any we've experienced in Charleston. They have a multi-course tasting menu - only - so there's not a menu with a plethora of choices. But everything we were served was phenomenal; dreamed up and prepared by a true culinary genius. The service was some of the best we've experienced anywhere. Every service person was 100% professional and accommodating, while also being engaging and warm. There is no other place like this in Charleston. With high-end food and service, physical comfort and delightful ambiance, it has quickly moved into the #1 slot of our "Favorite restaurants in Charleston" list! The only caveat I might mention is that each course is tiny. We left very satisfied but were hungry about three hours later. Even so, we can't wait to go back!

    We had an excellent experience at Zero Restaurant. The food was immaculate, but it was the service that really stood out to me. Everyone from the hostess to the bartender to the waiters was friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and pleasant. It is not easy to find a restaurant where the caliber of food and service match. I look forward to returning to Zero and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to a friend.

    This is an outstanding restaurant. The food, service and charming atmosphere add up to a wonderful evening. We make a point to dine there whenever we are in Charleston. I am not an "adventurous" eater, but I eat everything from the chef's menu and it never fails to wow me.

    The food was exceptional as always and I have ranted and raved After each experience here. However, it was a bit unnerving to have a very loud and inconsiderate table of 4 (clearly not locals...as determined by their accent and lack of dining room etiquette) in the middle of the very intimate and not-sound-proofed dining area. I know we are all there for the ambiance and the food, and despite anyones “occasion”...if we are having a meal and spending upwards of 400$ for a dinner for 2, I would expect that a manager would politely request a loud and noisy group to tone it down. I enjoy a good time and can get loud but this is not the place. Regards and see you soon
