Thanks to a recent article, in the Charleston City Paper, promoting the soft shell crab season (which I love!), we came across a new restaurant which was touted as a Brew Pub - Edmund's Oast. Being the Craft Beer Connoisseur that my husband is and who has had many conversations with the owners of the Charleston Beer Exchange who opened this Pub, I asked him if he wanted to try it for our Friday Night Date Night. Of course, I did receive that puzzled look from my husband, wondering why I would suggest bar food for date night....
Needless to say, this downtown Charleston eatery is not your typical beer pub with cornhole games, bar stools, flat screen tv's everywhere and bar food. We were pleasantly surprised by this large. modern restaurant with an open kitchen with chef's counter dining, expansive bar, communal tables and front patio dining.
On our first visit, we sat at the bar because there were no open seats and had a wonderful dinner. My husband was like a kid in a candy shop with all of the craft brews on tap, some of which are brewed on site. And, I enjoyed one of their signature cocktails. From the Red Snapper Crudo to the signature Bacon, Egg Cheeseburger and yes, the soft shell crab, everything was served to perfection.
On our second trip, I made reservations this time and we sat at the Chef's Table, which we love to do at other downtown restaurants. As we watched the food prepared and served, we already know what we will be trying on our next trip but on this visit, we had the Strip Steak and Roasted Grouper. Again, perfectly cooked. Oh, and I can't forget the Westbrook Mexican Cake beer (made right here in Charleston!) Desserts looked heavenly as they were prepared in front of us but with all of the wonderful food, there was no room for dessert.
Well worth the trip downtown to Morrison Drive! For more information, visit http://edmundsoast.com/ or check out their latest review in the Charleston Magazine: http://charlestonmag.com/features/edmunds_oast
